AVA LEIGH ARRIVES!


Welcome to the world, darling daughter!  You were born at 11:53 am today, January 14th.  We heard your first miraculous cry before you were even completely born.


You were wide- eyed alert and intent on wrapping your tiny fingers around mine from the beginning. You spent your first few minutes contentedly affixed on mine and your Daddy's beaming faces, and you made our world stand still.


You are seven pounds and nineteen and a half inches of perfection.


And apparently you're not a tremendous fan of hats.


So much to ponder upon during your first day of existence... 
So many arrangements and judgement calls to be made...
Still, we praise The Great Physician for the discovery that YOUR HEART IS WHOLE and functional.
Ours overflow!

And what's more, the stomach issue we were originally concerned with will be treated with a minimally invasive surgery sometime tomorrow.  You'll be filling up diapers before we can say Huggies!  I've never in my life looked forward to wiping a little bum so much!
