3 Rodriguez Girls and a Daddy: Audrey Elizabeth

Well it has been a very long time. Audrey was born on 1/22/12 at 1:44am. She weighed 8.4lbs and was 21.5 inches long. My labor was 8.5 hrs and it took 2 pushes and she was out. I had to get my epidural twice but all in all it was an easy labor. After she was delivered my placenta wouldn't detach so my dr had to pull it off which caused me to hemorrhage. It was very scary and took a long time to get it under control but the fabulous dr Perry finally did. Audrey had a lot of problems with weight loss from not eating and jaundice but after the first week, age started to do very well and is now a happy healthy 10 week old. Easter is this Sunday but we are celebrating it tomorrow with my grandma and inlaws and then going to my dads on Sunday to have Easter dinner with him and Tedenes family. For lent I decided to treat my body like a temple. At the beginning of lent I had lost 27 lbs since Audrey was born (I gained 8 with my pregnancy) and at the end of lent I've lost 8 more lbs making it a grand total of 35 lbs since Audrey was born. My goal is to loose 20 more lbs but I already weigh less then I did on my wedding day which feels great! I just eat all natural and very healthy. Not only to lose weight but to keep all my illnesses that I was unfortunately blessed with at bay without meds and to keep my immune system up and energy levels up since I don't get much sleep with Audrey not wanting to sleep at night. Lol. AJ has lost weight too, eats healthy and works out religiously. It's helped him in softball like no other. He can slam the ball now and run without feeling like he's going to die lol. I'm proud of him for working so hard. We are working on our backyard at the moment and our goal is to have it complete by the end of May and then our house will be complete!! We just bought a camping trailer and I can't wait to go on trips in it! Rylie is in love with it and wants to take it out so bad so we got out a calendar and set dates for this summer (weather permitting.. with Reno we never know haha). I have my mastectomy coming in a couple months but that will be in another blog when the date is set. It's going to be a journey. That seems all for now!
