Nine months comes really fast once you start counting down. It really feels like yesterday when Leslie and I were letting everyone know that we were expecting, now we have our little girl with us! We checked into Palmetto Baptist Friday January 30th at 6:00 am and at 4:51 pm we were proud parents of Ava Patricia. She came in at a very health 7 pounds and 15 ounces, 20 and 3/4 inches tall.
I guess being a techno geek has its advantages as well as its disadvantages at times. I am typing up this blog on the hospitals WIFI but I can not send out pictures because of their size. Rather than clogging email servers across the east coast and the Midwest I will be putting up our pictures on this blog spot for the next couple of days. I hope you all enjoy as much as we are..... take care and we shall speak (and see) everyone very soon!
This was taken at about 5:20 am Friday morning, I had to get one last belly shot of mom before we headed out the door.
This is the very first picture of Ava on this earth..... she looks a little unhappy and maybe even a little cold.
The three of us!
The new Mom with the new baby.... Leslie was beat at this point but putting our little girl in her arms made her beam!
