Week 1

First Week of Life 

This first week has been a blur of wonderfulness. It has flown by and seemed more like a couple of really long days. Everything seems to run together. Sunday morning we were able to leave the hospital. Ava Joy did excellently riding in the car seat. When we got home Daddy gave her a tour of the house. It was too precious. On Monday we had our first blow out diaper, followed by her first sponge bath at home. She didn't like that too much. Tuesday evening we went on our first walk around the neighborhood. It felt so good to get out of the house and get some fresh air!Wednesday Ava Joy had her first doctor's appointment. She was so good! She weighed in at 7 pounds 3 ounces and was 20 inches long. Wednesday afternoon Grandma, Auntie Blair, Great Aunt Janis, and Great Grammie came to visit. On Friday Mommy had her check up and everything is healing great. After that our perfect little family of three went to Chick-Fil-A for lunch. Later in the day we met Auntie Pie and Uncle Berry up at Target and Old Navy. Ava Joy rode in the Moby Wrap for the first time. It is so comfy and snuggly! I love it! 

This first week has been wonderful and life changing. We are slowly adapting to being a family of three. I am learning to sleep in 2-3 hours segments. Ava Joy still has to learn how to sleep when she is put down. This baby LOVES to be held and in all honesty Mommy LOVES to hold her! Daddy was able to spend the first week at home with us. Our time together was priceless. We are going to miss him so much when he goes back to work! 

Ava Joy you are perfect in every way. Mommy and Daddy can't get enough of you!
