From COMLEX to Babies

We got good news from the doctor yesterday that Aubrey's jaundice levels went down so we can take her off the blanket. We kept her on it for one last night because we figured it didn't hurt, only helped. Yesterday we also took a trip to Knoxville to see our friends Alarie and Michael and their little baby boy Aidan. Aubrey and Aidan will be neighbors in a couple of weeks and Alarie and I can't wait for them to be best friends. They got their first picture taken together outside the womb. Aidan was 9 lbs. when he was born and Aubrey looked tiny next to him. They even had lunch together. Then we got to show Aubrey off to our OB dr.'s office and the nurses loved seeing her after waiting for her for so long during the "labor process" (really only 3 days, but it felt like forever).
From this....
to this....to this!!!!

Here's Kyle and Michael holding their little ones rather than a COMLEX review book, thank god that is over, at least for now. It seems to be a reoccuring trend whoever lays down next to Aubrey usually falls asleep. I think she's Kyle's little twin. It's nice to have such great friends close. Colleen and Chuck stop by throughout the day, especially Colleen when she just wants some baby time. We've also had our friends that live in Crossville, Jamie and Patrick come by and meet Aubrey. They even brought us Olive Garden, thanks guys you don't know how much that helped. Last night was our first really tired night. I don't really know why either, Aubrey is sleeping great (knock on wood) and we've taken naps. I think it's just all the emotions and now we have a break for a few days before Kyle starts rotations. We're definitely taking these days to relax as much as possible.

Here's one last picture of Aubrey, because you know you can't get enough. (Ok at least I can't).

I didn't know who she looked like at first, but now I know, definitely Kyle! Glad she's doing better & y'all are settling in, how lucky you are with so many friends nearby!
