Ava Irene Taggart

August 21st 2015

8lbs 8oz 20" 

8 am

At my 37 week appointment my Dr. found that Ava had turned and was now breech!  He said if she didn't flip on her own we would have to do a C- section.  Well she thought that having her head in my ribs was the most comfortable and so she never did turn over.  

Mom at 28 weeks pregnant....

                                 
                         The big day....

 Big Brother and sister were so excited to meet her....

                       1st family photo as a family of 5.  Do you know how hard it was to get a picture of all of us looking at the camera?  ;)

                                     Ready to go home....

                                   1st bath at home.  Dad had plenty of "help"

                                 Big yawn....

                                     4 weeks old.....

We decided 8 must be her lucky #. she was born in the 8th month, weighing 8lbs 8oz @ 8am!

She has brought a lot of happiness to our house.  Sadie and Finn love her to pieces.  Finn loves to call her "Miss Ava". Sadie can't get enough time holding her. We were lucky to have Grandma and Grandpa Taggart stay with us for 2 weeks while I recovered.  They were so helpful, entertaining the big kids, helping with Ava (they even did night duty!) cooking, cleaning and so much more.  I am trying to adjust to having 3 kids it has been a change to say the least.  How thankful we are she has come to join our family.  Love you Miss Ava!!
