A few hours after we spoke, her water broke and they were on their way.
I got the play by play from my mom, who was there with them. It made me sad, because I wanted to be there, but so happy to get real time updates as my little niece made her debut.
Everything went great, and Valerie and Dave are now the proud parents of one adorable little boy, and one equally delicious baby girl. I have been granted permission to introduce her to all of you.
Meet Audrey May.

Aww, such a rad experience. By the way, it is "May"... not that it matters though. Anyway, we are SO glad she's here and can't wait for her to meet the Johnsons!
Congrats to you all! She is adorable! Its great to be able to cuddle a new one, without actually having to give birth to one. (:
AWWWw! Valerie, she's adorable. I love her name. Candice has an Aubrey May and I love that too. Val looks great! Huge congrats to all.
Beautiful niece! Congrats to all! That is a darling name for a very cute baby. What a great family photo.
(BTW - posting here, because I doubt you'll see it there, I saw your post on Tonya's blog - and thank you. Same observation had been pointed out to me by others. Oldest and first are not always the same.)
Valerie, I meant to confirm with you yesterday whether it was Mae or May. Mom texted me Mae and I was actually surprised. We both usually go with pretty traditional names and the most traditional spelling, so I persoanlly like May better. I fixed it. She is so pretty, thanks for letting me share her. You are just lucky I can't get close enough right now to steal her. I almost had a caption on the pic of her and Luke about how I was going to have to eat at least one of those irresistible cookie faces, but I wasn't sure everyone else would understand or appreciate that comment. You get it though, you know babies are yummy.
Erin, I knew Candice had an Aubrey, but I didn't know she was Aubrey May. How funny! It is actually prety remarkable that we haven't duplicated names more often with as many cousins as we have floating around.
Julie, Thanks for posting. I am glad you saw my second comment on Tonya's blog because it had been eating me up worrying that I sounded insensitive. I have actually always thought it was really cool that even before Jacob came, Heavenly Father had sent Brody a daighter (and another son) and they just had to find them. I think part of Jacob's mission was to help lead his mom and dad to his big brother and sister. BUT I will be careful what I say in the future, because I see now that it could sound insensitive. Oh, and I am so excited for Tonya!
Oh what a beautiful baby. She is so sweet. Congrats to everyone!
Ohhhhhh, she is beautiful. Her little boy is beautiful too. His eyes are so pretty.
Please tell her congratulations. It's such a sweet time for a family when a new baby comes.
Also, I've loved all your posts and pictures. I loved reading all about Alyssa and her new baby brother and how all she wanted was for him to go away, or back to the hospital, or home with Susie. So funny.
And I loved seeing her when she was so little.
The ballet picture was soooo cute.
Well, congratulations again on being an Auntie.
Little nieces and nephews are so fun.
I love her name... sweet. She is beautiful and mommy looks great too!
Congrats to all! :o)
What a beautiful family! Congrats Val-
Congrats to Valerie's family! Audrey is beautiful. I always loved that name, too, but I couldn't convince Mike to let us name one of our girls that. When are you going to meet her in person?
