Ava's Big Entrance

Wednesday, June 16 at 8:00pm
"Let's get this party started!"


Eleven and a half hours of cervidil and ten hours of pitocin got us broken waters and soaring blood pressure but NOTHING else.

I guess my girl is not much of a party animal.

Because at 4:42 pm, this is where we found ourselves.

The anesthesiologist (my new best friend) , at one point looked at me and said "Man, I got you stoned!"

This is the part where I say this:

"My newborn can beat up your honor student."

At 9 lbs and 2 oz little darling barely fit into the "wash bucket"!

There were 9 babies born that day and Ava quickly became known by the doctor's and nurses as



The Big One

Curly hair!

And baby makes three.

This picture is dark on purpose. I looked very similar to a sumo wrestler at this point.

I can't believe they're letting us take her home!

Just a couple of days ago, Mommy's little angel.

I love this face
