Aubrey Kate




finally joined our family exactly one week overdue on Wed. morning at 1:38am. She weighed in at 8 lbs 15 oz and was 20in long. She's our little chubby girl. She arrived via a 10 hour VBAC with NO medication!!!! They didn't even require me to have an IV. A completely natural birth. It was such a great experience for us, and there is no possible way I could have done it without Glenn, Hillary (my doula) and an incredible Labor & Delivery nurse that really wanted the best for me. Such an incredible support group. And the smile on my Dr.'s face when he walked in and saw that I was going to do it, was priceless.


Dallin is absolutely loving Aubrey! He loves to just look at her and give her kisses on her head. And he's so gentle with her.

Aubrey is such a joy to our family. She is a very easy, and beautiful baby. And she is a very good eater & sleeper. We can't believe she's finally here, and now that she is, we can't imagine life without her.

We are home and doing awesome! If anyone wants to see more pictures, or wants to know more about the labor & delivery, email me, or give me a call. I LOVE to talk about it! Definately one of the best experiences of my life.

yeah!!! She really is a sweet baby and so extremely alert - already bobbing her precious little head around to see what's going on!

Way to go Brynn (& Glenn, too, of course!)
