Ava Mae

Well, today is our sweet baby’s original due date! However, to be honest – I had a feeling our little girl wasn’t going to wait until today for her big debut. I am so happy to say Ava Mae was born on Friday, January 15, 2016 at 5:29PM at Grant Medical Center! She was a healthy little arrival weighing in at 8 lbs. 1 oz. and measuring 20 inches.

I have nothing but amazing things to say about the nursing care I received at Grant! Our stay was made as comfortable as possible. My doctor and labor and delivery nurses were the best team I could’ve asked for and when I think back, the entire day was a surreal experience. Absolutely life changing. It boggles my mind that this little human has been living inside of me for the past 10 months. We are so in love and are trying to soak up every bit of the snuggles and newborn stage because we’ve been told many times – it goes fast!

People have asked – am I still going to blog? Well, of course! I don’t want this to become a “mommy blog,” but I am a mommy now, so, naturally I can’t help but share things I am excited about. I also don’t want to share a million pictures of Ava, but every now and then, it may be appropriate. I am working on a post that will talk about the baby products we have used every day for the past 10 days but until then, I’m enjoying my new role and will circle back around with you all as soon as I can. Love y’all and hope you’re staying warm!

    What a cutie! Soak up every moment! I’ve had so many friends that have had babies recently and it is amazing how quickly they learn and grow.

🤍 It's time to refresh our towels + bedding for the New Year! After heading to @meijerstores, I picked up fresh white towels, pretty patterned sheets + pillowcases, and a classic, crisp white quilt. 🥰 To keep everything tidy, I added in some woven baskets + wire bins. I layered in greenery 🌱 for natural elements as well as pretty + functional cleaners, a gorgeous candle, and a sign with personality! How do you keep your bath and bedroom linens organized? #Meijer #NewYear #Organization

This was intentional & planned before what happened this week. Just because I’ve been silent on here doesn’t mean I haven’t been speaking out in real life. I chose to listen on here, quite a lost art that I’m personally working on improving this year. 🤍 I’ll leave you with this: The other day, Ava and I were reading Parker Looks Up, one of the books we’re reading this month. 📖 She looked at me and said, “I love her skin Mommy. Isn’t it pretty?” Yes, my dear it is. ❤️
