HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MEEEE!
Averie was so excited to wake up with a balloon in her room! She says "baaoo!" This morning we came into her room with her presents and sang Happy Birthday! She was all smiles! We also took her to Max and Erma's for lunch and they all sang to her! She just looked at them! We than went and got her one year old pictures done at Sears! We got some serious ones and two smile ones. They turned out very good (it was a little struggle to get those smiles though)!
AVERIE'S STORY
Averie was born at 8:26 a.m. Born by C-section on a very chilly, yet sunny March 10, 2005. I (mommy) can remember the sun just beeming in the operating room right into my eyes as I was surrounded by Dr.'s and nurses doing their jobs. It was surreal. I can remember laying there waiting for daddy to come in. Finally he did and they were ready to go. Moments later Dr. N. said "We have a head! Full of hair!" Mommy said laughing, "Is it girl hair or is it boy hair?" "Everyone laughed, but were nervous-exicited to see you come out healthy. Then moments later, "It's a....GIRL!!!!" Mommy said with tears in her eyes, "YEAAAAAA!!!" (She wanted a girl). Daddy and mommy were so happy. You were NOT happy, you were wailing soooo loudly! You were healthy. They swiftly brought you by our left side on the way to the room to weigh you and get you warm! You were perfect! Shortly after that, daddy went in and snapped your picture (posted below...4 minutes after your birth)! You were so sweet and perfect. They laid you on me for a little bit but I was nervous you'd fall off...so daddy just held you with joy! You still didn't have an official name...It was Kendall or Averie. But by the time we reached the recovery room you were Averie. We did have to write it out before we picked the spelling. You were perfect in every way. You nursed right away...for 20 minutes on both sides. And you just laid there in everyones arms and were admired and loved. Just as you are today! We love you and can't wait to spend ours lives making you happy and admiring you...our little girl! Happy Birthday BIG GIRL! We love you! Love, Mommy and Daddy



Not the one I was looking for...I'll keep looking! This is in the recovery room. Maybe 1 hour old.


At Max and Erma's!
