Our two beautiful girls!

I cannot even believe that tomorrow will be Ava Grace's 6 week birthday!  Time is just flying by and although I am extremely sleep deprived, :)  life with our two girls has been great.  Kylie is now adjusting very well to being a big sister and finally got over her "little hurdle" over not being the only child anymore.  Thank goodness!  That was a rough period of time for awhile there!  I've posted more pictures of our girls on here.  We are anxiously awaiting the birth of our newest niece or nephew.  Aaron's sister, Amanda, is due at the end of the month but babies have a mind of their own so it may be here sooner than that!  We can't wait to meet him or her!  Aaron's brother and his wife are also expecting and are due in March.  So many babies!

Hope everyone is doing well in the New Year.  I can't believe the weather we have been having lately!  I love it!  Well, Ava is needing some Mommy cuddle time so I better get going and snuggle with my little bunny.  Kylie is with my mom so I can give Ava some attention without Kylie becoming jealous.

Christmas and New Years!

Hoping that everyone had a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.  Here are some pictures of our girls from the holidays.  Ava is already a month old, where has the time gone??  Kylie is continuing to adjust to having a baby sister but loves her baby sister "forever" as she tells us daily.  She says, "I'm going to love Ava forever!"  It is hard to believe that all of the festivities are already over but we had a good holiday season.

Ava Grace is finally here!

Ava Grace Gulliver was born on Friday, November 30th, 2007 at 8:03 a.m.  She was 17 days early but weighed 6 lbs. 9 oz. and was 20 3/4 inches long.  Everything went well in the labor and delivery although my epidural did not do much good as I felt EVERYTHING!  But it was well worth it, as Ava is finally here and we are so excited!

Kylie is adjusting to being a big sister, challenging at times, as she is used to being the only child but does love her baby sister very much.  She likes to give her Baby Ava many, many kisses and always gets me diapers and wipes for Ava.

Ava is a great baby and hardly ever cries.  She only whimpers when she gets her diaper changed but other than that, the only noises she makes are her little baby squeaks.  Ava did have to have a special blanket when she came home from the hospital as she was quite jaundice and they were concerned about her levels.  She had to have a special blanket with a light attached to her 24/7 for the first 3 days after coming home from the hospital.  But after a couple of doctor's appointments, she is much better and got to come off of the blanket on Wednesday.

Thank you to all of our friends and family who have stopped by with flowers, meals, visits, etc.  We appreciate it all so much!  Above are some of the hundreds of pictures we have already taken of Ava and our new family of four.  The very top picture is of Ava on her one week birthday, yesterday.  It is hard to believe it has been a week already!

Baby G

Well, Baby G may be here sooner than we know it! We had a doctor's appointment yesterday afternoon and I had my strep B test and the doctor also checked me to see how things were going since two weeks ago when he last checked me. (I was at 1 1/2 cm. dilated then.) Well, I am at 3 cm. dilated and 80% effaced! The doctor said it could be any day now! I haven't been feeling any contractions yet so it could be another week or so before Baby G makes her arrival. Thankfully I have the rest of the week off of work due to Thanksgiving break so I have a nice long weekend and don't have to worry about missing work if I go into labor in the next day or two! We'll keep you all updated!

On a side note, I wanted to just thank God for Noah Michael Ayers, son of Mike and Kathryn Ayers, (Kathryn is one of my best friends) who was born on November 17th. He was born with the cord wrapped around his neck 3 times and had to spend some quality time in the special care unit of the hospital. He is doing well now and hopefully I will get to see my "nephew" this afternoon before his little girlfriend, Baby G, arrives! God answered prayers and I am so glad that Noah is okay. Congratulations Ayers family! We love you!

We hope everyone has a safe and happy Thanksgiving!
