"Happy" makes me SMILE!

Hello everyone! We are still doing good, Audrey is growing so much everyday! She is sleeping very good at night and is pretty happy during the day. Yesterday my mom and dad came over to see Audrey before they headed out to Toledo Bend, and of course Mimi scooped her up before Happy could, so he was standing over them talking to Audrey and she let out the biggest SMILE ever!! Guess she thinks Happy is funny, like we all do! He was thrilled, she gave him her FIRST real smile. You can tell she was really focusing on him. Can't believe she is almost three weeks old, wish she could stay like this forever. Through out the day she continued to crack a few smiles...I caught one on camera. Cute, huh! She even has tiny dimples when she smiles.

Throw me something mister!

Happy Mardi Gras from Audrey!

Busy weekend!

We had a great weekend! First of all Saturday I felt good enough to go with Blanche and Mal on a lil' shopping trip. Blanche needed to get a gift, so we just went to the Glamour Closet in Rayne, but it was nice to get out and get dressed. Audrey came along for the ride and she was very good, she slept the whole time we were there. Hope this means she will enjoy shopping, because Mom really likes too! I'm not used to how long it takes to get a baby, and myself ready and pack up everything...it was 3:00 by time we left! Guess we'll eventually get the hang of it. Sunday morning we went to church and she was very good there too! Aunt Janice got to hold Audrey and put her to sleep. We enjoyed the time at church together. After, we went to Mimi and Happy's for lunch and everybody took a turn holding Audrey and my grandmother (Tootsie) even came to see and hold her! She also got to meet my Nanny, Teenie, and Aunt Carla and her cousins! After a very busy day we came home and relaxed and bathed Audrey. She still loves her bath time! She is so very sweet and is an awesome baby!

One week old!

So, we survived a whole week! Time flies when you're having fun right? Sure does, especially when there's a beautiful baby around. We are adjusting to our new little life and it gets a bit easier each day.We had many visitors and were so happy all our family and friends love us and want to come see Audrey. Thank you, everyone!

Papa loves to hold Audrey, she stares at him and it's the most sweetest thing in the world. He is a great DAD. He helps out so much around the house and makes sure we have everything we need. Audrey is still a very good baby and eats and sleeps well. We are very blessed!We took our first outing to Mimi and Happy's house Sunday, so I could go and cut my hair! (Friday I went chop it all off to donate it to Locks of Love, they do it every year at RCE on Valentines Day and Me and Blanche decided to participate in honor of my Mom.)

Everybody got a turn to hold her at Mimi's and we enjoyed the visit! She loves riding in the car, so I'm sure we will be going on many outings in the future.

We are doing good and pray things keep going well!

Home Sweet Home!

We survived the delivery and hospital stay, now it's time to return home...and start our new life with Audrey. We are so excited to be home and begin this journey that's ahead of us! We thank everyone who came to visit us, it's nice to have so many loving family and friends be there for us at this special time! Our hospital stay flew by and when it was time to pack up and come home we were so anxious and ready. As we dressed Audrey, she patiently layed on the bed and looked around, never making a peep! She is such a good baby so far and we will be blessed if she stays like this. Our drive home was exciting, our car was loaded down with all the balloons and flowers everyone sent and She just sat in her seat smiling away(no lie, she was smiling!) As we got home Mimi and Happy arrived just in time to help Glenn unload all our goodies, and got to give her a few kisses before returning to work. This afternoon Aunt Nikki and cousins Taylor & Andreu came to visit and she was so alert and happy to see them! Later Blanche came over and helped me give her a bath...I was a bit nervous she would do the whole "screaming" thing, but she didn't! She loved her little bath and even at one time had her leg propped up on the side. It was so funny.

It's so nice of everyone to come help us out and we appreciate everything you all do!! We look forward to everyone being able to come visit and see our new Bundle of Joy!

Our Sweet Audrey is HERE!!!

Words can't explain the JOY we feel in announcing the birth of our daughter Audrey Lane! God blessed us Tuesday Feb 10, 2009 at 12:39 p.m. with the arrival of a perfect baby girl, with beautiful blue eyes and thick brown hair! She weighs 8 lbs 10oz and is 20 1/4 inches long. We fell in love with her the minute she entered our world! Every minute we waited for her arrival was worth it! That extra week she was in the womb only made her that much more beautifu!l We want to show you all how precious she is and what proud parents we are! Thank you to everyone for all the prayers and concerns for us all, the delivery went well with no complications. It was a day we will have forever in our memories.

With love, Blair & Glenn

Back home...With NO BABY again!

Well, we left this morning for my apt. a little early in hopes to get a jump start on things. We left the house in immaculate condition, made sure everything was nice and neat and clean for Audrey to come home to. Both a tad nervous, we pulled out the driveway, and said to each other, "Next time we come back we'll have a baby!" Both smiling, we drove to off, made one stop to drop off Glen's clothes at the dry cleaners and off to Lafayette! We got Dr. Hardy's office and I went back for my check up...he walked in with a long face holding my chart and said..."Well, Little Blair, I have some bad news, I'm looking ate your charts and noticing that we made a mistake on your due date, it's actually supposed to be March 1st not February 1." My heart sank to the floor and I was speechless for a second and kinda started to panic. What? Are ya kidding me!!! Needless to say he was just picking on me and said he was just joking. He knows how ready Iam to have this baby and told me I should be proud of myself for being a good trooper and hanging in this long. He went on with my checkup and informed me that I am still at only 1 cm and would still be wise to induce because things are looking slow and she is 8 days over due. So he proceeds to tell me that when I come back "tonight" they'll start the medicine and hopefully I'll have her come early morning. When he says that I Said, "tonight?" Surely he's just joking again right??? He said, "Yes, tonight." (See I was told we would go straight from there to the hospital.) Unfortunately, I was given the wrong information the other day and we are to come back to the hospital around 7pm and then get things started! At that point I got that really heavy lump in throat and had to hold back a few tears, because I was so upset and felt like this is never gonna happen...but pulled myself together, knowing its soon gonna be here. He then put me on the monitor to check Audrey's activity and her heart rate, Glen was very patient and noticed that every time he would talk to me or her, it would go up! He got a kick out that...She loves her daddy! Dr. Hardy said she's fine, plenty active and said we could go.
So we left, kina discouraged. We will just have to wait a little while longer to see her...it will all be Worth the wait!!!
We love you all! Think of us tonight when you're saying your prayers!

Still waiting!!!

Here is a slide show of Audrey's room. If she only knew how cute her room was, maybe she would want to come out sooner!! The nursery came out exactly as I envisioned it would! I wanted for sure it to be Sweet and Girly, but yet a bit funky. "Mimi" helped me find all the perfect fabric and we pulled it all together just right! Glen re-did the closet bars to fit her tiny lil' clothes and of course I had to paint it to match the room! We can't wait til' she here, to lay her down in her precious bed. Hopefully it won't be much longer...we'll keep everyone posted!   

Worth the Wait!!!

Hello everyone! Well as you can tell...still no Audrey! Wish we would be posting a picture of her here to show you guys, but we don't have that quite yet. This is the last we've seen she looks like. Cant wait to see her precious little face now. This was our ultrasound when we found out it would be a GIRL! Since then we have been overjoyed with the thought of her arrival and the blessing she will be for us! To keep you guys updated, My doctors office called and said that for some chance if I still haven't had her by Monday, that I will go in for my scheduled appointment (along with our bags!) and he will send me over to the hospital and induce on Monday. So we know for sure she will be here by the 9th... However we are hoping and praying she comes sooner, and on her own naturally without having to induce. Keep us in your prayers! We are anxious and SOOOO ready.

Today is the day that Audrey is due!

Nine months ago we found out the very exciting news that we were expecting a baby! And she was due to arrive on February 1st! Well, that's today and little miss Audrey is taking her time. I guess we'll just settle down and watch the SUPER BOWL and wait for something to happen! Her precious nursery is ready with the exception of hanging the curtains. Maybe we'll do that today in case she's like her mom or her Mimi and is waiting til it all looks just so! Whatever the case may be, we can not wait to meet her and see her cute little face and give her big kiss! Our bags are packed and we are ready to GO!!
