Dec 30th 2005

Avery's Birthday, she is 3 years old, we had a fun day yesterday going to see Disney on Ice and she got to meet Cinderella, but she was too shy to wave to her, her words not mine.

We had a long but fun day - Birthday party is this weekend.

LABOR DAY - Dec 30th 2005

When I had Avery I was induced at 8:00am on Dec 29th due to high blood pressure. I was in 20 hours of labor, the epi did not work for me so I did it completely med free, I was tired hungry (did not eat or drink for a total of 36 hours - they would not let me)I pushed for 2 1/2 hours and then she arrived int he world, it was the most profound moment of my life. I fell in love immediately. So did Dh. We tried BFing but she was tongue tied so I pumped but that soon became awful or after 4 weeks we went totally to formula. Labor day was awful but it gave me the best gift ever and if you had asked me that day if i would have done it again, I would have said YES!

Happy 3rd Birthday Avery!

Happy Birthday Avery! What a rough labor day(s) you had! I hope the 2nd one is MUCH easier :)
