BABY AVA HAS ARRIVED!!!


Our BEAUTIFUL baby girl has arrived!!
Ava Helene was born on November 20th at 6:21pm.
She weighed 6lbs. 11oz. and measured 18 1/2 in. 

I figured I'd start with a picture of her, since that's what I'm sure you all want to see!!!

This was taken just a few minutes after she was born.

Our first family photo!
(Don't we all look great?!)

Now that those are out of the way...onto the story of Ava's birth!

Hailey is ready for business!

Me in labor with my wonderfully, supportive husband! He was awesome!
(That "smile" of mine was in between contractions!)

Lexi meets Ava for the first time!
I don't think I've ever seen her so proud or excited!

She was pretty excited too!

The PROUD Mommy!
Lexi makes sure Ava is warm with the special blanket she picked out.

(Don't ya love the "war" paint on her face? That's from her Indian Pow-Wow at school.)
Mommy and Daddy are so excited!

Mommy and Daddy visit the NICU once again.
Luckily, this time it's nothing serious!

Whoo-Hoo!!! I got to feed my newborn baby a bottle!
(No g-tubes here...)

WELCOME BABY AVA!
WE LOVE YOU.
