Avery's First Photo Shoot

One of my friends has recently branched into the photography business and she came and took pictures of Avery. It was a long process (she was here for over 3 hours) and messy at times (no diaper equals lots of poop on blankets), but we are in LOVE with all of the great shots that Summer took!!! Now we have to decide what we would like to print and where we would like to put these amazing photos. Some of them made their way to Avery's adorable birth announcement.

First Doctor Appointment

Today Avery had her first doctor appointment....on what was her original due date:)She weighed 7 lbs 14 oz, so the doctor was pleased to see that she not only is back up to her birth weight (which they should be by 2 weeks), but has also gained some beyond that. She will not need to go back now until she is 1 month. The doctor said the she is looking great and while cleaning her cord, it also came off, so she is now cord free and can start having tub baths. Mommy also took her and showed her off at work while updating all of my paperwork. Everyone (well the few that got to see her) loved her!!!

Orange Belt

Congratulations to Riley on moving up another belt in tae kwan do!!! She is now an orange belt:)

Avery Jean!!!

I am sure that you have all heard the news by now, but on Monday our family of 4 became a family of 5!!! Avery Jean Warren was born at 11:26 AM on Monday, November 12th. She weighed 7 lbs. 12oz. and was 20 inches long. She is a wonderful addition to our family and so far the adjustment is going well for all. Riley and Payton are so excited to be big sisters and love holding Avery. So far Payton is also being gentle, well as gentle as a 2 year old, with her baby sister. We are slowly getting used to having a newborn in the house and cannot wait for all of you to meet her!! Here are a few pictures from the day she was born and a couple since. I really need to make sure that I keep the camera handy, so that third child myth does not come true:) Welcome to the world and to our family AVERY JEAN!!!!

Belly fun

Since this is going to be our last pregnancy....I thought it would be fun to take some belly shots. My friend Chrissy was willing to come over and play and she got some super fun shots. Here are a few of them! And we took these on Sunday the 11th, she emailed me the pictures that night, and overnight I went into labor...I would say that we got them done just in the nick of time:)

38 weeks

Today I had my 38 week check up and it looks like baby might want to arrive before her due date! Today I was at a 3 and doctor said she could come this week. (I never dilated before hand with Payton...) I am not sure why but now I am feeling kind of nervous. Guess it is only natural... So I guess now we are on offical "baby watch"!!
