First Week of Life

Avery has made it through her first week of life, or maybe I should say Ivan and I have made it through Avery's first week of life. We have had some ups and downs - but mostly a positive week. The recovery from labor and delivery was a little more intense than I expected but the last two days I have noticed a lot of improvement.  Ivan came down with what we think was food poisoning earlier this week which made for a rough night. We have been so thankful that my mom is on vacation this week and has been able to be at our house helping with whatever she can and making us dinner every night so far. 

Avery is a great baby. She has a sweet temperament, she is a great sleeper, and a great eater. She had her first doctor's appointment and her weight was up to 9lbs 8oz. She is already making her parents proud. Last night she slept for 4 hours straight! 

My mom and I were having fun taking her picture the other day, trying to get her to pose for us. I thought I would share some more pictures with you.
