We are so excited to announce that Ashlyn Avery arrived at 5:39 pm on November 9, 2010. She was 8 lbs, 4 oz and 21 inches long.
I went in for the biophysical profile and non-stress test on Tuesday morning and when they preformed the ultrasound we found out that there was hardly any amniotic fluid left and she was upside down! The doctor thought all along that she was head down so everyone was very surprised. Because she was breech, the only option was a c-section and it had to be done that day because there wasn't enough amniotic fluid and because I didn't want to start labor with her in the breech position. I was pretty nervous before and during the procedure, especially since everything was happening so fast and I didn't expect to have to have a c-section. Everything went well and she came out a healthy baby.
She is four days old today and we're falling in love with her more and more. She is just so precious! I've been feeling okay, but it's been a struggle trying to recover. It's getting a little better everyday. We got home from the hospital yesterday afternoon.
We really appreciate everyone for praying and sending us sweet notes. Anyone is welcome to come see Ashlyn at our house. All we ask is that you call or send us a text before you come.
