augusta.

due to some last minute changes in plans for thanksgiving, Will and i headed to Augusta, GA for the holiday to see his family. we had a great time, even though Audrey and i were sick. Will's dad, brother, and sister got to meet her for the first time as well as his aunt, uncles, cousins, and grandparents. she got a ton of baby snuggles while we were there :) we even used Skype for the first time to say hi to family down in Kingsland, GA! Audrey said hello to everyone down there by promptly spitting up all over herself (and me) a few minutes into it. hopefully i'll have pictures from our trip soon as well as some pictures from Audrey's photoshoot from last weekend that Corey's sister, Lindsay, took. we had a lot of fun even though Audrey was squirmy and adorably uncooperative!

Will and i went on date night last weekend and it was amazing! My dad watched Audrey for the evening and as my Aunt Susie said, "i don't know who was more excited - you and Will or your dad!" Audrey was a doll for her Poppa and they had a good time together, although i did notice that my dad seemed extremely tired the next day - hmmmm :) Will and i went out for dinner, went on a country road truck ride, annnnnd went to bed super early! oh, how things have changed from our former date nights haha i did cry (just a little) and probably checked in on her a few times too many but i knew she was in good hands and it's important that Will and i spend time away together, especially since we don't see each other very much during the week.

and now for the best part -- pictures! i need to get better about posting these as i have been told :) more to come as i track them down! my dad also has a bunch from Audrey's first week and some randoms if anyone wants to encourage him to post his on his blog...i guess he's been "busy, or something like that."

guess what i'm doing??? :)

Since she was born so early, they are going by an "adjusted age" for the first few months so they can track her milestones more appropriately. She has her "1 month" appointment tomorrow even though she'll be 6 weeks on Wednesday. praying for strength as she gets her first set of shots and hoping all of the anxiety from going through that with her when she was in the NICU stays at bay.
