My best friend had her very precious little girl this week.
Aubrie Kendall is her sweet little name. She was 7 lbs, 7 ounces and 20 inches long.
I went to meet her the day after she was born and oh my was she ever a little peanut. I mean, I know babies are little but I always forget how little until I hold a newborn. Just teeny tiny. I love her already.
Even after 12 plus long hard hours of labor and just a few hours of sleep afterward, Tina looked amazing. Stunning, even. Definitely proud to be a new mom.
Everyone is home from the hospital now. Everyone’s healthy, and sleeping and eating and moving around, which honestly is the (selfish) part I needed to happen after all of this labor and delivery stuff. I’m glad everyone is back to their nonhospitalized self because I worried way too much for my own good in between the first “Mandaaa, I’m at the hospital and in labor” phone call and the “she’s here!” phone call. I cried so much worrying my little mind off during those 12 hours that it was ridiculous. And is probably now what Tina will go through WITH A CHILD for the rest of her life. I’m not ready for that kind of worry, yet.
But Tina is going to be fantastic. And I’m so excited for Tina and Mark. Can’t-put-into-words-excited.

Awww, thanks for the sweet post! You make me laugh with all the worrying you did.
Aubrie says “hi!”
And BTW, I liked your tweet about using the AP book.
