last saturday…

I woke up at 4 am with that unmistakable pain I’ve only felt three other times in my life, yet somehow had managed to forget.
 Seven and a half hours later…

She was here.

World, meet Ava.

We’re in love.



Ava Marie

    Awwwww she’s so gorgeous, a big congrats to you and your family!
    I looooove her chubby cheeks, if I lived closer I would so knock on your door for a cuddle ( in a non freaky stranger get away from my baby way) ;)
    Glad she arrived safe and well. Loving the photos, big sister and brothers look very proud of her.

    I can NOT get over those cheeks!! That can’t be a newborn! haha Newborns look weird, not all chubby and gorgeous right off! ;) My sister just had a baby over a month ago and named her Ava (also on my list of girl names, good thing we’re done right?!), so sweet! We have two girls and two boys as well, so much fun! Congratulations!
