Avery's First Pedi Visit

Here we are in our car seat all ready to go. I can't believe how tiny he looks in it. Avery looked extra precious in his suit from his great-great Auntie Caroline, it fit perfectly I hope it lasts a few more wears it has little giraffes on it and I just love it.
Here we are chilling after our weight check 5lb. 7 oz, the Dr. said that was great and hopefully he will be back up to his birth weight or past it by his 2 week check next week. I can't believe he is 1 week old today!
Our visit made us a little tired.... But, I am proud to say our family of 3 made it on time to the Dr. with all members showered, cleaned up and looking good by 9:30, when do you think that will happen again. :)
This picture is from coming home Friday in the hospital. If you look closely he is saying bye-bye by to all his friends at the hospital. We had such a great experience with lots of great nurses and amazing care from my Dr. and her group.
Here we are at home with our super cute stork from our friends the Siburts and the McKinney's. I absolutely love it. Michael is worried that someone is going to steal Avery now, we never stop worrying....
We are doing well I think. Michael's Mom is here and has been an amazing help. She is going home tomorrow and Lou Lou is back for more fun. Michael goes back to work tomorrow which I am sure will lead to tears, but someone has to pay the bills I guess. I am okay since my Mom will be here but I will admit I am very scared of the day I am all by myself with Avery, it's nice to have a security to blanket.

You'll do just fine, Abbe. I'm glad the doctor visit went well. It is SO hard to be somewhere on time, I'm impressed! Also, my Michael didn't want a stork in our yard for the very same reason.

Yeah! More Avery pictures! He does look tiny in his seat--I thought my big girl Claire looked little in her seat...That is impressive to be on time with a new little one to get ready too! :)

oh, my goodness! a week really does make a difference. or maybe a couple of weeks. my sister's wedding has rotted my brain. i can't believe you are a momma! poor popples is probably feeling horribly neglected! we'll have to get together soon! our parents handled us alone, so you can do it! we aren't that damaged, right?

What a sweetie! I remember being scared when Jon went back to work too! It happened so soon! But I actually loved my alone time with my new son and bonded with him so much more quickly.

Well if I had paid more attention, I could have seen him before I left town. Thanks for trying to accomodate. I couldn't believe it when Katelyn told me you had delivered Avery, especially after our conversation on Easter Sunday. Kent and I are so happy for you. You and Michael are in for the best time of your lives!!!! We love you and pray blessings over you.

It was so great to see him..I cant get over how tiny he is..which is strange, considering the babies we deal with!! Enjoy the time with your mom and when she's gone feel free to call me to come help/stalk you!!

I had missed the posts because I had a computer crash. It was good to get back up and find all the news and pictures of sweet Avery. Praying that you will just be blessed beyond all you can ask or imagine (Ephesians 3:20)
