In the Hospital

  Audrey Jade Bell minutes after she joined us.
 Makayla loved taking "Baby Laundry" for walks around the hospital. She also wanted to take her for a walk outside, but gave up on those ideas when alarms started going off and nurses came running yelling "CODE PINK!" I think she got the urge to set off alarms from her dad.
One of our favorite things from the week is Makayla continuing to refer to her sister as "Baby Laundry." Love it. Beth is trying to cure her of the pronunciation mix-up. Trevor not so much, I think it would be awesome if Audrey kept the nickname "Laundry" for years to come. I guess I am still just a little sad that "Athena" never stuck with Makayla.

Audrey Jade Bell

Here is my first post about our new daughter...Audrey Jade Bell.
She was born on April 2nd at 11:50 AM. She was 7 lbs 5 oz and was 19.25 inches tall.
Here she is with Grandma Bell.

And, here she is with Big sis. Makayla is a huge Audrey fan. She feels like Audrey should always have a binky, and that Makayla should constantly be adjusting said binky. Little scary at times, but with enough parental supervision we have avoided suffocation.

For not much longer...

Makayla is going to be an only child for not much longer. Since I am having a baby tomorrow, I decided to post a few pictures and a little update on Makayla.




I can't believe how big she is. She puts a smile on my face everyday. Though, she also is very good at driving me a little crazy too. :) She is going to be such a great sister.
