Baby Avery!

I am letting Dayna take a break from blogging, so that means everyone reading this will get the privilege of reading my first official post! (yeah I'm a little behind the times!)

We are excited to bring you pictures of our new little girl.
She was born earlier today (October 27, 2008) at 1:03 pm. She weighed 8 lbs. 3 oz's and she was 20" long. (and the cutest baby girl in the world....sorry everyone else your kids will have to take a back seat in this contest)
Both Dayna and Avery are doing very well. (knock on wood)

Quick Summary:

Sunday (Oct 26)

8:30 pm
We arrived at the hospital and got checked in and settled in our room, so they could start the whole process. Once they checked Dayna they realized that they didn't need to strip her membrane since she was having too many contractions already. This means that we didn't really need to come in Sunday night, but since we were there we stayed the night.

Monday (Oct 27)

3:00 am
Dayna was given a regular drip of the petocin to start the induction process.

~6:30 am
Dayna's doctor came in and broke her water. (I'm a little curious how you can break water?!...unless it's frozen.)

~8:00 am
Dayna got her epidural! Yeah! here's a picture of her smiling face right after she got it!
