I thought that moment would never come. After June 5th came and went, every day seemed to drag on. I spent all day watching the clock and counting down the hours until I got to leave for the hospital. As much as I dreamed about my little girl, I never knew I could feel this way about anyone.

Ava and I would like to thank everyone who came to the hospital to visit. It meant a lot to have family and friends there. I know it was a bit out of the way for some of you, but it was very much appreciated.
Since we've been home, Ava has adapted very well to living outside my tummy. I still can't believe she fit inside me. Some nights are better than others, but for the most part she's letting me get at least 5 or 6 hours of sleep. I'm so grateful for that and hope it lasts. Apparently, at some point I missed the part where I became an all-you-can-eat buffet. She eats like crazy! I have a feeling she'll be packing on the lbs in no time at all. Other than sleeping, eating, and of course pooping, she has really shown a cute personality. She's got the cutest smiles (I don't care if they're from gas or not) and I love just holding her and spending time together. I can't wait to see what the years ahead look like, but on the other hand, I wish she would stay this little forever.
