First trip to NH!

We made our first trip to NH this past weekend to visit all of the family! Miles of course slept most of the way and Ava slept the whole way and woke up just as we got off the exit. I'm sure the next trip will not go as smoothly!

We don't have another visit to the pediatrician until 8 weeks, but I would guess that Ava is probably pushing 12lbs by now- she is getting pretty heavy and is completely filling out the Newborn size PJ's! Miles continues to be such a great big brother, helping out whenever we ask him to. If Ava cries he immediately goes to her to see what's the matter and how he can help.

Enjoy the pictures!

Pregnancy Pics

So, throughout the pregnancy I had been taking pictures of my growing belly. I put them all together in a slideshow (though I should have worn the same clothes each time). It's pretty cool to see the progression through the weeks! Enjoy!

New pictures!

We have made it more than 2 weeks with all 4 of us in the house!

We were supposed to get a "Snowpocalypse" last Wednesday, but we only saw about an inch and half of snow. Still it was enough for Miles and Daddy to make a snowman and have some fun outside!

Ava is getting bigger every day! At her 2 week visit she is tipping the scales at 9lbs 10.5oz! They are only expected to be back to birth weight by 2 weeks, and she blew that out of the water! She has been sleeping as well as can be expected at night. Mommy and Daddy can't wait for that first 6 hour stretch though!

Enjoy some of the new pictures we have been taking!

Happy Birthday Ava!!!

Ava Fleno Sherwood joined our family on 1/28/2010 at 10:22pm. Mommy went into labor Thursday morning at 7am, and was at the hospital by 12:30pm. After laboring till well into the night it was decided to do a C-section- Ava decided to stay sideways and get stuck causing her heart rate to dip when contractions came. The surgery went well and they finally announced, "it's a GIRL!" She weighed in at 8 lbs 8oz and measured (according to the hospital) 22.5in (21in at her pediatrician appointment). She is the perfect completion to our family! Miles is so in love with her and wants to hold her and kiss her all the time. If she is crying or fussing he comes running to comfort her, and belly laughs while she gets the hiccups or make silly faces. Everyone is adjusting to life with four of us in the house now and we're looking forward to what comes ahead.
