Avery Pictures

Well, here are some of the promised pictures of Avery June. We haven't went and got them taken professionally yet, that is yet to come. So here are some that we took yesterday while she was playing around. She is so sweet, I love her so much!!

Baby Avery is here!!

Well, last Sunday the 25th I finally had my little baby girl, and she is amazing!! At about 1:00am on Sunday morning I started getting contractions, I knew I was going into labor, but this baby being my first, I knew that it would be awhile. So in the morning I still packed my husband a lunch and sent him to work, but told him to expect a call to come home. Yeah...he went to work at 6:30 and he got a call at 8:30 to come take me to the hospital. My contractions by then were getting strong enough so I couldn't talk and they were 5 minutes apart. We got to the hospital and got checked in at about 10:00am. The nurse monitored my dialation and then checked my amniotic fluid level and said that it was low and that I needed to stay. So at about 11:30 I was hooked to an I.V. and put on petocin to speed up my contractions. By then the contractions were hard, but bearable...yeah...about 20 minutes later I was crying for my epidural. After about 3 hours on the petocin, they came and said I was at a 9.5 cm and almost ready to start pushing. So I started pushing at 4:30pm and I had her at 5:19! As soon as she came out, the doctor placed her on my chest and Steve snipped the umbilical cord, it was so amazing to finally be able to hold her in my arms. She weighed 7 lbs 14 oz and was 21.5 inches long, and we named her Avery June Fobert. After, they wheeled me up to my room where I was able to snuggle my little girl, and Steve was able to make it to tip-off at the Jazz play-off game! (He wasn't going to go, but I was just going to rest, so why skip out on a good ticket, right?) Here are a few pics of her when she was first born and there's more to come !
