I am feeling really great for it only being 2 weeks after my c-section. I was all freaked out about having it (before...) but really it's not all that bad. Anne was here yesterday and today so we took Ava to the mall today. She did great! I had to have a feeding session in the dressing room at Kohls and she only cried one other time and was fine once I took her out of the carseat for a bit. It was fun to actually shop in normal departments for me and of course I found a few cute outfits for Ava. I guess everyone had the same idea when buying her clothes because I'll have plenty of the bigger sizes but only really had a few newborn things. I know she'll outgrow those super fast anyway!
Ava is also doing really well. Breastfeeding is going well and she is sleeping about 4 hours at night so I can't complain. We go for her next appointment this Wednesday. I can't wait to see how much she weighs because I SWEAR she is already growing like crazy!!!
She had her first trip to Trav's office, her first sponge bath (and I've washed just her hair several times of course!), and I've since clipped her nails TWICE and I think a few need it again--so no more mittens. hehe! We also had newborn pictures, which I'll post soon. They are absolutely adorable!! My Uncle Dennis and his wife Lori came up to take them (same as maternity photos).
Since I'm feeling human again, I am venturing out to Decatur (Forsyth) tomorrow to see my mom, aunt, cousins, and gma. I'm a little nervous but as long as I feed Ava soon before I leave, she should be fine. She seems to like the car rides and stroller rides so hopefully no crying while I'm trying to drive there! :)

Hey Steph~ I love your Ava Post. She is just a doll. I'm so excited to meet her on Monday. Have you ever known this kind of love? I know I sure haven't! We just got home from FL about 10 this evening. What are the Bettis Babes doing tomorrow? Just curious! We will probably sleep in & spend the day in our pj's--I was just wondering what y'all had planned. Have a blast & enjoy showing off Miss Ava! See you Monday! XOXO
She is sooo cute! She looks like she's gotten a lot bigger since I saw her. Glad you are enjoying being a Mommy. It sounds like you're both doing a great job adjusting to each other...4 hours is awesome!!!!!
