Aubrey Kate Johnson


Congrats to Kevin and Ashley who welcomed a healthy baby girl into the world today at 2:58pm! Aubrey weighed in at 6 pounds, 7 ounces and was 20 inches long! Ten fingers, ten toes (although I have yet to see if they are "webbed" like Sydney's:>)


Ash was a complete trooper and had TWO epidurals (yes, ladies, I know it makes you cringe!) The first one only took to one side, so she had to have a second, but once it set in, all was right with the world. She smiled and just sat around as she had contraction after contraction. Then, it began to progress quickly...and only 21 minutes of pushing and here she was!


Mommy AND daddy are both doing fine and are VERY excited and proud parents. I stood at the nursery window and watched Kevin watching Aubrey, as the nurse bathed her and monitored her. Aside from getting our cameras for close-ups, Kevin did not take his eyes off of her for two hours, and Aubrey was staring right back! It was love at first sight. Very sweet.
