Little Miss Avery Ann decided bright and early Wednesday morning that she was not going to wait for Friday's induction date. By 4 am, I was no longer able to sleep through the contractions, and we checked in to the hospital just before 7 am. She arrived at 1:30 pm, all 6 pounds, 1 ounce of her at 18.5 inches long. (I still find it hard to believe that she arrived 8 days before her due date entirely on her own, while her big sister refused to come out until she was 10 days overcooked.) Avery is sweet and mellow, and we are all doing great!
Proud Mommy!
Proud Daddy!
Alli meets Avery... and isn't quite so sure, yet.
Proud Grandma!
Proud Grandma and Grandpa!
Proud (and emotional) Aunt Tiffany!
PLEASE TAKE ME HOME!!
We were almost afraid we couldn't get the car seat straps tight enough. Weighing in at 5 lb 13 oz when we left the hospital, there wasn't a whole lot of Avery to strap in!
An anxious Auntie Laura and Tyler were waiting for us at the house!
Love at first sight!
Stay tuned for more photos to come!
