Its been almost three weeks since our little Ava joined our family and its been full of ups and downs. We don't have a schedule, as much as we'd like to have one, so we just go with the flow. We're supplimenting Ava's feedings with formula so she is getting enough to eat, which took some time for me to get over... but man is it more convenient and she does sleep longer! (YAY!) And of course Mom isn't getting much sleep, maybe 2 or 2-1/2 hours between feedings at night. Although that does change quite a bit, and right now feedings seem to be coming more often since we are in our 3rd week growth spurt.
Ava is changing every day and she is such a good baby. We can't tell you what joy and love, not to mention laughs, she has brought into our life. She is amazing and we are so thankful to God for sending her to us....we're just hoping we raise her the best we can according to God's will.
We'll its about lunch time for Miss Ava, so we'll leave you with a few pictures we've taken over the past week or so. Enjoy!

Yay! Too cute! I love the bath towel pictures! She will grow so fast! Don't worry too much about the schedule - in the grand scheme of things, weeks and months don't add up to much. She'll get there and they'll go through so many growth spurts, life changes (like rolling over, crawling, teething, etc) your schedule may be in flux for a while! :) I know you're doing terrific - I have complete confidence in God's grace in you to help you raise her well! :)
We hope to see you sometime!!!
