Avery Camryn

Announcing the birth of our sweet baby girl:

Avery Camryn

Born: February 7, 2011

6 pounds, 6 oz., 19 inches long

Sweet as can be!!

We are so in love with our sweet girl! She arrived on Monday...

Here's a quick recap for all the ladies who want the details:

5:30 am--induced

11 am-epidural

1:30 pm--INTENSE pain, the Dr. checked me, I was at a 7, and she predicted I would deliver in a couple of hours...

1:45--Unbearable pain, I called the nurse and as soon as she walked in I had the major urge to push. She checked me, and told me we were gonna have a baby. I was in so much pain, but I do remember looking at Cam and both of us tearing up...

1:50--started to push, the nurse could see her head, they called the DR. (who came into my room running and out of breath) and 15 more minutes later our sweet girl was here.

Side note on all of that.. when I delivered her the nurse and DR were like "wow, fastest OP delivery..." I had no idea what they were talking about... but our little Avery had turned herself face up inside the birth canal and came out sunny side up. That is the explanation of the severe pain I experienced.

She is a doll.... cute as can be... looks much different from Dylan, and after two nights of crying all night and hardly sleeping, she is now a dream... Wakes up every 3 hours and only by whimpering....

We are doing great. Dylan ignored her for the first couple of days,,,, but now is talking to her, violently shoving the paci back in her mouth and is becoming more and more interested in her.

We are incredibly blessed and it is so wonderful to be a family of 4...

Here's some pics of the last week:

My two boys...sporting their new IA state gear from Gpa and Gma Staff...

She is so tiny... leaving the hospital under 6 lbs... the paci dwarfs her face...

She is so lucky to have such a wonderful dad...

My sweet parents who drove all the way from Iowa... they stayed at our place and took care of D while we were in the hospital...

Our first times holding her....
