Happy Birth Day

It's three in the morning so I'm not going to even attempt to write complete sentences. Plus, they probably wouldn't make sense anyway with my current lack of brain cells. Here's the basics of our weekend with a lot of pictures.

The Stats: Avery Elise Green was born July 18 at 9:17 a.m. She weighed in at 8 lbs. 13 oz. and was 20 1/2 inches long. Good thing she was a little early :)

So here's our fam on Friday night. Thank you, thank you, thank you to Kathy for watching Ella for pretty much two days straight. Ella loved sleeping over at Brandon's and eating waffles. Sleepy little bug Avery shortly after being born. There was nothing unmedicated about how she got here and I am OK with that. All the action happened in the last 45 minutes of my 8-ish hour delivery. I went from being dilated almost 5 cm to pushing at a +2 within an hour and then she was out in a few pushes. I also exceeded my lifetime quota of root beer popsicles throughout the course of the evening.

Snuggle time before leaving the hospital on Sunday. Avery loves to fall asleep being held after she finishes eating.
Ella loves Avery so much that we have to keep an eye out for Avery's safety. The first night Ella came to visit Avery, she couldn't stop saying, "Her's out now" and "It must have been really hot" because I told her that when it was really hot outside the baby would come out of my tummy. She also likes to discuss the details of how the baby gets out because of some things I told her when she asked if baby Avery was going to come out my belly button. Look out nursery leaders, you may get an earful. Avery's going home outfit. Looks like she may just wear this one once.
I'll post more later, but I wanted to show off my cute little girl!
