We're Home!

Avery Kate and I checked out of the hospital today! It's funny to think that originally she wasn't supposed to be born for another two days from now, but here we are at home. Wednesday was quite a crazy day to say the least. I never thought I'd be lucky enough to know the joy of going into labor on my own! I got to experience contractions while trying to pack a bag, call my doctor and Daniel, and entertain a toddler. My friend Tracey is the best because she took care of Aidan for me. Daniel and I got to the hospital in the nick of time because Avery was born within an hour of our arrival! She is beautiful and we couldn't be happier! She is nursing great and seems to be a very content baby. She weighs 6 lbs. 6 oz. right now (she was right at 7 lbs. when she was born) and we visit our pediatrician on Monday for her first check-up. All of the grandparents have met her, and so have most of the aunts and uncles. Aidan seems to be oblivious of her presence, but luckily we have Grammy around for a few weeks to help make sure he gets plenty of attention (especially since I can't lift him for two weeks). Anyway, I just wanted to give an update and let you all know we are doing fine. Thanks for your prayers and support! We can't wait for everyone to meet our little girl :)
