at the hospital on jan 29

whew! i can't believe it's been almost 6 weeks since we had ava - as you can imagine - we have been short on time lately.

i am down to reheating my morning cup of coffee only two times before i can drink it...:)

Birth story
we arrived riverside for our day that we had scheduled to be induced at 9 a.m. and started active pushing around 5 p.m. - ava was born at 6:51 p.m. and was 6.5 lbs and left the hospital weighing 6 lbs! this experience has been so surreal. I was really happy how everything went and the actual labor was nothing compared to the recovery.

Brandon and i were so excited to see ava and i literally balled after she came out because i was so extremely happy - and then i threw up....the epidural made me naseous i guess!

i just really appreciate everyone's support! All of the yummy food from my mom, aunt, grandma and cousins were so welcome! it was nice to have all of the support we did. My sister and niece rachel also came out to see us from phoenix! so nice to see them
