Our little princess...

Well, our baby girl is already five days old, and we're loving life with her! For those of you who have a facebook account, you've seen these pictures, but for everyone else....here are some of our favorites so far! We have gone camera crazy...seriously, I snap about 10 shots an hour probably! ahahahha I'm sure that will die down as life gets more and more hectic, but for now, I'm so in love with this new precious baby I can't help it!

After her first bath, 3 days old...this gown outfit made us laugh! She looks like a glow-worm. We love this picture!

Such a precious girl!

Here she is 3 days old...already so alert!

In her outfit she wore home from the hospital...

Meeting 2 of her cousins for the first time...

39 weeks

So, I have one week left. I cannot believe it. Seriously, the time is here! Woah! Here is hopefully one of the last pregnancy shots....


And, I had to include a cute shot of my boys playing....I love them!


Today was the first day of students. Quite a tiring day of collecting school supplies....and that's pretty much what we do on the first day! I forgot how tiring it is to manage a ton of 7 year olds! :-)
Overall, the day went as well as it could! Another school year has started....and i'm in shock!

We're out of 8's...

Ok, today was the 18th....no baby.....so i'm giving up on 8's. I don't think I want to go past my due date and hit the 28th....so now, any number is great! ahahahah
Goodnight!

38.5 week appt. update

So I just returned from the doctor....she checked me today and doesn't think I'll make it to my due date. We'll see....:-) She said I'm 2 cm dialated and 80% effaced.....so, hmmm, maybe I could manage the 18th. 18 is a good number. ahahah I told her that and she said, "What's wrong with the 17th?" I was like...um...???? Then she said, "Well one plus seven is eight." ahahah I told her that was good positive thinking and I'd take that day too! :-) Who knows....maybe I'll still be pregnant in a few weeks....so i'm just gonna continue to go with the flow and take advantage of my freedom. :-) Alright, happy Friday!

2 weeks to go...

Down to 15 days! (OR LESS....or more ahahahah gag) So every little contraction or weird pain I've had in the past few days...I start thinking, could this be the one to start it all and get this show on the road!? But then, so far, it hasn't been....:-)

This is the last week before school starts. I have some final preparations to make, and then the kids will be here next Tuesday! Oh my word! I really feel like it was just Christmas! I'm excited for this new phase of life that I'm about to enter. It's going to be a learning experience, and I know I will need to rely on God's strength to learn how to prioritize to be the best mom, Christian, wife, and teacher I can be. When did I get old?! Ha!

Well, I have a meeting in 45 minutes, and of course, I'm not ready to go yet! Thanks for your prayers in the next few weeks. We need them....(I NEED THEM). Last night I was laying in bed thinking, Lord, if this is just a little clipping of the pain I'm going to experience, I cannot do it without you! ahahahahha OH BROTHER!

08-08-08

Well, unless some miracle happens, baby Aukerman isn't going to be an 8-8-08 baby. That's okay though, I figured she wouldn't! :-) I think anyone who is born today has to be a very cool person though. ahahahah
