Ava Millie


The last picture before the big event! (I have no excuse for this picture! Is it the angle of those horrible hospital beds? I have never seen an attractive "person lying in hospital bed photo. I don't know why I consented to this one...I blame the drugs.)


Waiting...

She's here!


Meeting the 'rents


Our smallest baby! 7 lbs 10 oz.


20 inches long


Meeting the sibs!


First bath


So sweet






Going home

Ava is just the sweetest snugly baby! She feels so perfect in my arms, and its already hard to imagine what life was like before she was born. Ellie is adjusting surprising well to the changes around here. Although I am sure we'll have some really hard days in the near future, especially when Eric goes back to work. Ellie just thinks Ava is adorable and is constantly touching her fingers and head and saying how cute she is. She can't pronounce the V in Ava, so she calls her Abe-a. I have a feeling its a nickname that is going to stick around for a while. Ellie thinks its hilarious when the baby cries. I wonder how long she'll think that's funny? Nate is a great older brother, which we already knew. He thinks both of his sisters are adorable (and only gets slightly frustrated with one of them when she gets into his stuff) and he is a great helper! I was watching the baby sleep this morning and had a panicky feeling that life is going by way too fast and before long all the kids are going to be grown up! I've always said I was not going to miss the baby phase, but Ava might change my mind!

SO, so cute! Your family is getting even MORE perfect--how cool is that? I really love her name. I've actually been considering changing my Miley's name to Millie--just to distance myself from Miley Cyrus, you know. :P
Congrats on the most beautiful baby award. :)
