Time is flying by!

Wow where has the time gone? I can't believe I haven't posted anything in 2 weeks! Avery is now 6 weeks old! I can hardly believe it! She is growing up so fast. I am trying to enjoy every minute before she grows too fast. We haven't done a whole lot in the past few weeks. We watched a couple of Christian's lacrosse games up at kingwood high school. Avery always gets a good nap in at the game, so I'm sure she enjoys going. Other than hanging out with Brian, Avery and I have just been relaxing at home, while I try to get some of my school work done. We are planning to visit Fargo in May and I'm so excited! I'm glad the flooding will be done by then!
Avery loves her bumbo from Papa John and Great Grandma Shirley!

Avery Anne Hotten


Today is the first time I'm trying out this whole blog thing, so we will see how it goes. I can not believe that Avery is going to be one month old tomorrow! Boy, time has flown by so fast! Her delivery went really well. I woke up Tuesday, Feb. 10th at 4a.m. with some contractions, but wasn't sure if it was true labor. At about 7:30 a.m. I called my doctor and she told me to come in. I got to the hospital around 9:30 and was already 6 centimeters dilated! Although I never really felt much pain, I still got an epidural and I'm so glad I did. Several hours later, Avery was born at 3:08p.m. The delivery went really well and was way easier then I thought it would be. Avery was born on Feb. 10, 2009 and was 8lbs 15oz, 21 1/4 inches long! 4 weeks later, I look back and am so thankful for such an easy pregnancy, delivery, and recovery! She is an absolute angel and I would go through the 9 months again in a heartbeat for her. I will try to remember and find time to post on here so check back often!
