Aubrey's Birth...

Well, the day is finally here.

Aubrey Rose Bollard has entered our world.

We kept everyone guessing on a name until the very last minute...but I think this should suffice.
She was born at Spring Valley Hospital here in Las Vegas at 7:27pm on July 23, 2007 (That makes her and her sister Alison exactly 13 months and 42 minutes apart). She weighed in at 7 lbs. 12 oz., and was 19 3/4 inches long. A good size baby, so we're told. She's as healthy as an ox, with no complications during or after the delivery (via C-section).

Danielle is now home and taking it easy. Although Alison went straight to the bottle, Danielle has started breastfeeding with Aubrey. It's a new challenge, but Danielle is up to it and doing great. (We are going to save so much freakin money! Sweet!...but all kiddingness aside, seriously, $25 for a can of formula that lasts a week? Seriously guys.)

Anyway, here are some pictures....

Dan, thank you so much for the pictues. I felt like we were there. We were so sad to know that the boys were not able to see her in the hospital. Call us as soon as you are ready for visistors, the boys, especially Caden is dying to see baby Aubrey. She is so big and looks so healthy. We love you, Stephanie and Family

I am so glad you put the pictures up. She is so beautiful. I have to say that I am sad we couldn't be there to celebrate with you but we are so happy for you. You have such a beautiful little family and we just love you guys and can't wait to see you again. I can't get over how cute your kids are. Danielle I hope you are doing well and are getting the rest you need. I am sure it feels overwhelming right now but it will get easier. You are such a great mom and are going to be fine. Give me a call if you need anything that a phone call can help with. Congrats again. We love you. Love- The other Hardys

Well, we did the math and you guys just beat us--your kids are about 1 hour and 15 mins. closer together than ours are! Congratulations, Aubrey is beautiful! And from an Audra Rose Bollard, I think Aubrey Rose Bollard sounds great :) Good luck and just remember that it does get easier as time goes on.
