Hi everyone! Well, we have had a pretty quiet week actually. And that's a good thing after the last two. Mommy had her first whole week with me. My daddy went back to work and it was just us girls!

I went to see our very nice pediatrician on monday. His name is Dr. Steklow. So nice. It was actually the third time I had seen him since I was born. I was very impressed. My weight is back up, I was 7 pounds and 11 ounces, almost my birth weight.

Mommy says I'm sleeping very well, except for this little window about 3-6:00 a.m. Eating good, sleeping good, all the other stuff that goes along with that too.

Mommy is feeling better. She had her doctor appts too. She is tired like all new mommy's are. But we are all doing really well.

Here are some of our pictures from the week.

My daddy and I taking a little nappie. Well, on the cold and icy day my mommy decided to do a little "photo shoot" -

A star is born!
My little tutu! My fluff???? This kind of work is a little tiring, I must say. It's over? Good.

moooommmm-

Hi everyone! It's been quite a week. I thought I would just post some pics of all of our wonderful family and friends that were with us this week. There will be more to come.

Finally at home.

crazy week.

Well, I had to make a trip back to the hospital for a couple of nights. I'm back home with Conor & the baby now and hopefully all better with the help of my nice doctors. I'm having to rest in bed through the weekend, but I'm just so glad to be home.

We want to thank everybody for all of the flowers, food, visits and phone calls. It is so nice to have all of you in our lives!

This picture is of Audrey & I yesterday. She's a little sleepy as you can tell. She definately has her daddy's ears.

We had lots of visitors today. G Doc & Granny JJ O'Reilly are here from Georgia, Nana and Papa Troutman, Aunt Stacey, Auntie Jen Kerr and cousin Angie. Great uncle Roger and great aunt Barbara came also. We feel so loved!

oooohh...what's this?

Going Home This Morning!

Yay! I'm so excited. Thank you for all of your love and support and all the good wishes that we have received. We love you all!

Oh! What's that?

My name is Audrey Caroline O'Reilly.

Hello. We finally decided on a name for our sweet baby girl this morning!

~ Audrey Caroline O'Reilly ~

She is perfect and absolutely the most gorgeous baby I've ever laid my eyes on! A spitting image of Conor. We are so thrilled and couldn't be more grateful of this amazing time in our lives!

Baby O'Reilly's Birthdate is January 16, 2009

What a trip that was. It was a long day for all 3 of us. But she made it finally, at 12:55 a.m. She weighed in at 7 pounds, 14 ounces and 21 inches long. She has lots of dark hair and very plump cheeks. We are so in love!

The nurses and Daddy just finished with her bath. Still no name. We love keeping everyone in total suspense. We will make a decision tomorrow, but right now I'm too exhausted!

WE ARE IN LABOR!!

Hi everyone! She decided not to wait for next week and come a little early. Conor brought me to the hospital around noon. I got my epidural at 4:00. Then they broke my water around 5:00. The nurse said around midnight we will have a new baby girl! Conor & I are so excited and can't wait to meet her!

The Date is Set!

Wednesday, January 21, 2009 is the day! My doctor called to inform me we will be inducing. Yea! It's a little early, but she'll be 37 weeks and fully formed. This bedrest thing is not all it's cracked up to be. I'm sooooooo ready.

Quick Update

I went to see my doctor on Thursday and my blood pressure was high, so I stayed the night at the hospital for observation. Friday we got to go home and I was put on modified bed rest because of the preclamsia.

The nursery is almost complete! So happy for that one. I was literally about to go crazy if we didn't get it done this weekend! Conor painted my great-grandmother's desk a light shade of blue, I painted (while Conor was at work, and got in big trouble for it) the room a beige/pink, curtains are hung, shelves are up, and accessories are in place. FINALLY!!

Now it's just a waiting game. I'm off to rest!
