Ava Grace

Ava Grace has arrived!! Last Thursday, 11/4/10, Ava was born at 1:53 am. Mommy had her water broke on Wednesday night. Labor was fairly short, not nearly as short as Piper's; overall, went very well. Ava was 7 # 9 oz, 19.5 inches long. We are all so thankful for her healthy arrival. Happy to be at home and are adjusting to our growing family! Sleep is lacking; but so overwhelmed with love for our two little girls!!

Here are some pictures from the hospital...


One of the last pregnant shots; this was about 4 days prior to Ava's birth

Waiting patiently for something to start-- crazy hair!

She's finally here! PERFECT!



Mommy so excited to finally meet Ava!


Look at all that brown hair!
