For those who don't know:
Audrey Grace Akkerman
May 11th 11:04 p.m.
7lbs 14 oz
After going through 36 hours of the doctors trying to induce labor, my water finally broke. I labored for 10 hours before they elected to do a cesarean. The doctor decided to do this because Audrey's heart rate started to drop with contractions. She is absolutely healthy and the most beautiful baby I have ever seen! I am recovering very well...I thought recovering from a c-section would be awful, but I have felt great!
Other big news: Scott had an interview with Spartan warehouses today and got the job! They will call him sometime this weekend to schedule orientation and then he is supposed to start on May 31th or June 7th.
We feel so blessed! First we have a beautiful, healthy baby girl and now Scott found a really good job during such tough times. Life is good!!
Here are the pictures from the night Audrey was born. I will try to post more pictures tomorrow (I only have about 300...lol) but right now my baby girl needs to be tucked into bed and I have to get some sleep!!
