Your weekly dose of Ava :)

I guess it's time for a weekly update on our lives:) We've all been doing great!! Ava & I have gotten out of the house a few times... we've made trips to Granny's, Target, Starbucks:), Christy & Kurtis', we even got to go out to eat with her TWICE!! She did AwEsOme!! I was pretty nervous...since she's been nursing so frequently I thought I would never be able to make it out of the house with her for longer than 1/2 but she falls right to sleep riding in the car and usually takes a realllly good nap, like a 2 hr nap:) So, getting out of the house has been refreshing for both of us... well, at least for me:) She was 3 weeks old yesterday... time is really flying by! The days go so fast when all I get done doing is nursing and trying to squeeze in a minute for myself... I'm pretty proud of the fact that I've managed to squeeze in a shower everyday..hehe:) Okay, it's about feeding time & this lil girl gets demanding so I have to quick post some pics of our munchkin:) Enjoy!!



* Milestone!! She lost her cord stump...haha, I know only a mother would care so much:)


*Fresh outta the tub :) She's taking "real" baths now!

*Look at those lil curls! When her hair is wet it gets all curly... I love it!


*She looks a little unsure here, but really she loves taking a bath:)

*OuT CoLd! Don't you wish you could sleep that good:)

*She's like a lil monkey! Clinging to her mommy ;)

*She's got momma's lips ;)

*Getting some play time on her activity mat :)

*Notice she's wide awake in her swing... yea, this baby does not fall asleep in her swing -- unfortunely:)

*She even gets a little fussy sometimes:) It was probably time to eat!!

Sleepless in Columbus...

Wow... what a wonderful baby Ava is! We absolutely love her to pieces!! We've just been adjusting to life with a little one these past few days. It's been a little rough I will admit...recovering from labor & delivery is tough enough! Then you throw in the breastfeeding woes, roller coaster emotions, and lack of sleep.....oh, just talking about it exhausts me;) Those of you who said it were right...now the fun really begins!! hehe. But I will say that even though it's only been 4 days, things get easier and are more enjoyable with each passing day. I know this awful breast engorgement is only temporary...THANKFULLY!!! I didn't even know it was possible for breasts to be this hard & uncomfortable!!!! Ava nurses about every 2 hrs, sometimes once an hour....which is nice for the engorgement, but doesn't give me much time to do anything! But she's getting the hang of it...her favorite place to be is lying on her boppy & nursing...makes her all relaxed & comfy:) So precious....

Here are a few pictures since we've been home...
