My Babies!

Here are some pictures of my cuties that I took today! I love how they turned out. I will be using a couple of them for Avery's birth announcement as soon as I get them designed.

Everything is going very well. Braylon is an awesome big brother and loves to help out with Avery. He is being such a big boy. We are really working on the potty training now. It is going ok. He spent last week at my mom and dad's and they worked with him too. Hopefully we can get him trained soon so we only have to buy one set of diapers. :) Avery is doing great also. She is still gaining weight well and is our little chunky monkey as you can tell in a couple of the pictures. :) We are still working on the sleeping, but it is getting better.

Hope you all enjoy the pictures!

Big Brother Braylon Loving on his little Sissy!



Our friends Dom and Emily Lickteig's little boy Carter, Braylon and Avery. Dom, Emily and Carter came from St. Louis to visit. Dom is Avery's Godfather! I guess we should have gotten a picture of those two together. I was a little sleep deprived then.

On our way to our first Sunday mass.

Our baby girl is one week old today. I can hardly believe it. We are all doing great and are getting settled in as a family of four.
Avery and I were discharged from the hospital on Thursday. Avery's weight at discharge was 8lbs 3oz. She had lost 12ozs, but the doctors said it was within the normal range. We had her 48hour checkup on Saturday and she was already up to 8lbs 13oz. Doctors were very impressed with her weight gain. I wasn't too surprised since all she does is eat. I am up all night feeding her. That is about all I can complain about. I am tired. She is up all night wanting to eat. We are working on trying to get her days and nights swithed around.

Braylon has been great with his "Little Sissy Avie". He wants to hold her every second he can get. She is not lacking in the kisses department.

We have our 1 - 2 week checkup on Friday. I can't wait to see how much weight she has gained. Not knowing for sure how much she is eating is the most stressful part of breastfeeding. She is a GREAT nurser, but I still worry.

Chris has the rest of the week off and I am loving him being home with me. It is nice getting to bond with Avery with him home. I am going to miss him when he has to go back to work next Tuesday.

Enjoy some pictures!

Tomorrow is the Day!

Tomorrow is the day for us to meet Miss Avery! We are scheduled to be induced at 6:45 am March 2nd! I can hardly wait. Hopefully it won't take too long, but not too fast either. I want enough time to get my epidural. :) I'm not a fan of pain. I am already almost 5 cm and fully effaced so I am getting pretty nervous of it all happening faster than I am ready for. :)

Please keep us in your prayers for a safe delivery and healthy Baby Girl!

We will post updates and pictures tomorrow!!
