Ava is 4lbs 4ozs now and is in a crib. She is doing well. She is becoming a newborn baby now. She loves to be held and rocked. She hates when I put her back in her crib. We are so ready for her to come home. We are driving down to the hospital everyday. The doctors are thinking another two-four weeks. I am trying to nurse her as much as I can. She has had three bottles so far, but is not doing very well with them. She likes to nurse but gets very upset when the milk doesn't come out quick enough. Ava and I are learning together about nursing. The more she grows the better it gets. We take three steps forward and then one step back.
Ethan and Bella are excited for their little sister to come home. Isabella loves helping me get everything ready. She is excited to one day share a room with her little sister.
We are now feeling like we had a baby. We can't believe it has been ten weeks already. It feels long but short. It has been a long road, but we feel very grateful and blessed to have Ava Grace apart of our family.
