Pictures of Audrey

Hi, everyone!

Well, Audrey is 10 days old and life is good so far.  She's such a great baby.  I am one of those women who had NO experience with babies before having my own, so I was a little bit freaked out about having to care for a newborn.  Lucky for me, she's really relaxed and happy, so she's made the transition easy for me. 

The only problem I've had isn't with her... it's with her pediatrician's office.  I like her doctor, he's a nice guy, but I wasn't thrilled with the facility.  The waiting room was barely big enough for 6 people and half of them had colds/hacking coughs.  I left my husband in there and waited with Audrey out in the hallway.  Seriously, like I would sit there with my week-old baby and have her breathe their germs for 45 minutes while we wait?  Ugh.  So the search continues.

Anyway, here's a slideshow of some pictures from her first week. :)

Super cute! She looks so much like you!

She's beautiful!

She's adorable!! I wouldn't sit in there either!!

So cute! 

One of the things I love about my pediatrician's office is that they have 3 seperate waiting areas. A newborn room, a general waiting room for normal check-ups and a sick room.
I would search for a new doctor at a better facility if I were you... flu season + a newborn is something I just wouldn't risk.

Love your pictures!!!  What a beautiful family!  

She is so sweet. I loved the pics.
Are those your parents in the hospital room? They look just like you. I am sure she is enjoying her beautiful room that mommy worked so hard on :)

I had the same problem when I took Alexander to the peds office. I walked in on the "well kids side" and there were parents that just did not care, sitting there with kids and boogers dripping out of there noses and they said "oh they only have an ear infection". I could not believe that people are that stupid. first off, they were in the waiting room, and have not seen the doctor yet, so how do they know that is what they have?

Then there was a women that walked out with her kid hacking a lung, and she was like, "oh, I guess I went out the wrong door". I looked her right in the face and called her an idiot! I am having a hard time tolerating stupidity.... guess it is my hormones :-\

Sorry,lol.

Your baby is adorable!!

Audrey is beautiful.  That fifth picture - the one where DH is holding her? - you need to get that one framed to go in her bedroom...it's a beautiful picture and shows so much love for her.  Love the others...but that one makes me tear up.

Re the pedi...yeah...I'm with you.  Keep looking.  Maybe mention to your pedi what the problem is and see if they have a solution - not that it'd be ideal, but maybe if you waited in the car and they called on your cell when they were ready for you and you could go straight in? I only ever dealt with one pedi when my son was young and I loved their office.  They had separate waiting areas - with separate toys and books - for the 'well-visit' kids and the sick kids.  Silly me for thinking that was the way they all were.  That was years ago for my son (who's almost 16); with the viruses and things that go around now...I'd be waiting in the hall too. 

Audrey is beautiful!! Congrats momma and daddy!
