Avery was born 2 days before my birthday. She came out fighting, just like a taurus:) I had a C-section, which is new to me. She was out in about 10 minutes and off to the NICU within minutes. Her cry was the best sound I have ever heard. I asked "Is she OK? Is she healthy?" Matt was with her and told me that she was perfect, after some jokes about my uterus looking like a raw turkey. I cried and cried, until the anestesia required me to start vomiting, but it was still the greatest moment of my life.
She will be in the NICU for another week atleast. It's really difficult to leave Avery every day. You want your newborn with you 24/7, but I rather her there than wondering if she is breathing all night here. My hormones are on over drive trying to split my time between Addison and Avery. Addison has her graduation today, her dance recital on Saturday. Matt leaves for California on Monday for 2 days, and I still can't drive. But Avery is HERE and she is healthy, that's all that matters, the rest is logistics.
Having Avery here completes me, us. We all worked so hard for her, Matt, our parents, myself. We are truly blessed. Thank you for all your support and love.
I'm so happy to hear about the healthy baby girl. She's a beauty. I'll say a prayer for you and your family in these days ahead. Congratulations!!
