It all started Sunday, May 15th at my early morning appointment. From out of no where, my doctor informs me that I will be having a scheduled c-section the following morning. I was upset and confused and really didn't want to go through surgery. However, my body wasn't doing anything to prepare for labor and my baby was getting huge. So, after praying, I felt a little more okay with the decision and I headed back to the hospital that night inorder to be ready for the morning's events.
Here I am waiting for the nurses to come get me for surgery.
Laying in bed...no more belly in a few hours =)
Kevin taking a picture of me
Here she is. I was so excited to find out it was a girl. I knew Audrey was going to be thrilled.
10 lbs 14 oz, 21 inches long
She is excited to finally be out.
Family comes to visit. Josiah hangs with his little sister.
She has 3 older brothers...she's in trouble...or I should say, "Boyfriend Beware"
Chillin' on my bed
Here is my special, congratulatory meal. Japanese style.
OISHII (yum)
Bekah was the first Barnett to get to hold her, she was so excited.
6 o'clock in the morning of discharge. The doctor came in to take my staples out and insisted on taking a picture of us since we were in sleeping in the same position.
So far she is proving to be a content and easy child, but all babies sleep a lot at the beginning. Praying that she will continue to be mellow and just go with the flow.
More pictures to come once I upload the ones off of Kev's camera. I didn't take too many with mine...sorry.
Titus likes hanging out with her when no one else is around. He usually climbs right up next to her, pets her hair and talks her off. Maybe she actually understands his babble.

The boys insisted on taking a picture with Dad, too. He was all decked out!
The lovely couple
She came home ecstatic! 
Audrey's picture. Titus was an excellent subject, stopping to pose for her.
Titus' hands after the fact. His favorite color was green. He only did two eggs, but he sure had a blast pounding them into the dye and licking his hands.
Waiting for the fun to begin.
We didn't get any pictures of the action because my camera died =( However it was funny to see the kids different personalities. Titus was a go-getter, making a huge mess and laughing the entire time. LJ was all about mixing the colors. Josiah didn't like being messy and was way cleaner than last year. Audrey wanted one egg of each color and was quite methodical about it all.
Thanks to all their Aunts who keep them well posted on the happenings stateside.
In the box with the swimsuits came a stripped shirt for each one of the boys. They decided to match and Audrey just happened to wear her only stripped shirt as well.
My 3 handsome men...we are working on LJ not being weird during pictures. I'm hoping it's just a phase.
It may be a dinky pool, but they sure had fun splish-splashing around.
