Visit to Mia's School 12/13/12

I had received a message from Mias teacher that book was due for book trade they were doing in classroom. I quickly threw on my clothes and got baby up and out in fear I had missed it and Mia would not be able to participate. I arrive to the school in the middle of nap time only to find out the book exchange was not until the following week lol:)

We ended up having a blast between Ava getting to have nap time with her sister and me getting to read book to her classmates.

Ava's first weeks

Well Ava is getting more beautiful day after day. Her features are so petite and defined and she is settling well into her routine. She sleeps a great deal where I have to wake her to eat. She sleeps four to five hours straight at night but it takes her till 11:30pm or midnight to go to sleep when she has her alert time in the evening.

She rarely cries only when wet, gassy, or tired. I feed her in advance of the cries so she does not have to worry about that.

When she is awake she wants to be in your arms which worries me when she goes back to work:( I don't want her to be tormented at daycare.

Ava meets her siblings

Ava's ride home 11/21/12 thanksgiving morning was filled with sunshine. Baby was resting peacefully in her car seat while mommy struggled to get her legs in the car, still super swollen.

The kids were super excited to meet their baby sister they made special ornaments for her to put on the tree.

Tony had a special song picked out for her rocking her gently in his arms it was so precious.

ITBIT - Ava and daddy

Itbit is the nickname your daddy has for you and it's so adorable to see how you look into his eyes and he in yours it's so precious.

Ava's first splash bath

In preparation to her visit to the pediatrician Aunty Stephy and I gave Ava her first wash at home. Ava did reasonably well but she really does not like to get her clothes changed:)
At the doctors she gained 5 oz in a day which was an incredible sign and doctor said she looks great and is super healthy. She did need some sunlight doctor ordered to ensure jaundice does not set in.

Ava on her way home 11/10/12

Ava and I were finally released from the hospital late afternoon November 21. The ride he was peaceful as I imagined the kids expression when get to meet their baby sister.
When we arrived the house was quiet, clean, and peaceful. Ava spent some time looking around her new nursery and memorized by Christmas tree lights.
