Avery Mae Paschal

Little miss Avery Mae Paschal arrived on December 14, 2012 at 7:53 a.m.  She was perfect, healthy, and so beautiful!  I had a schedulued c-section so everything went very smoothly.  Jacob, my mom and I headed to the hosptial that morning around 5:30 a.m.  After arriving at the hospital I had to change into the hospital gown, sign a lot of paperwork, and then get hooked up to an iv to get the fluids going.  The anesthesiologist came in to talk to me around 7:15 about the epidural and then the surgical nurse took me back to the operating room at 7:30 a.m.  I got my epidural and the nurses got me all prepped and ready for surgery.  I was pretty shaky because I was a bit nervous so my sweet nurse got me several warm blankets and covered me all up.  My amazing doctor came into the OR and was all ready to get miss Avery out. Thankfully once she started doing the c-section I stopped shaking and calmed down.  I felt so peaceful and couldn't wait for my baby girl to be born.  After starting surgery they brought Jacob in and I squeezed his hand really hard for the rest of the c-section.  Probably within about 2 minutes of Jacob coming in our sweet baby girl was born.  I remember the dr. assisting my dr. said "ok there's going to be a lot of pressure" and then they pulled her out.  As soon as she came out she was crying very loud and that was the best sound that we could've heard!  She was crying really loud little fast cries.  I remember saying "baby, baby, baby, oh baby!"  I was so glad she came out crying!  Jacob got to see her when she came out and then they took her into the little side room inside of the OR to get her cleaned up, checked and weighed.  I kept asking Jacob who she looked like and saying that I wanted to see her.  Jacob couldn't quite tell who she looked like yet but he did take a picture of her and brought it over to show me while they were finishing up the surgery.  After a few minutes they brought her out for me to see her and she was so perfect!  I first thought that she looked a lot like Jayda.  Now I think she looks a lot like both girls, and me (yay)!  It seems like she is going to look a lot like Sydney, but have Jayda's eyes.  Such a great combination!  Once they finished the surgery and put me onto the recovery bed the nurse laid her on my chest and they wheeled me back to my room.  Avery was so beautiful and sweet and I was so in love with her!  She had lots of bubbles coming out of her mouth at first since she was born via c-section and didn't have everything squeezed out.  She just kept looking at me and blowing bubbles.  She also started putting her hands in her mouth a lot.  I figured she'd want to nurse since she kept sucking on her hands so I tried and she latched on right away as if she'd done it 100 times.  It was so sweet and she has been a great nurser ever since!  She did great in the hospital and slept well too.  It was so nice to have the nursery for her to go to at night so that Jacob and I could get some sleep.  Avery is such a good baby and so sweet, we could not ask for anything more! 

 

 The night before Avery was born we had a big sister party for Jayda and Sydney.  They got a few big sister shirts and some other big sister gifts.  They were both so excited and ready to meet their baby sister Avery!

She did so good and didn't even cry at all when we put her in the car seat, or all the way home.

Woo-hoo, leaving the hospital!

So excited to take my sweet baby home.

We couldn't forget the monkey from Sydney. :)

Jayda had to hold her as soon as we got home!

And Sydney did too!

A few days after Avery was born we took her to get newborn photos done.  I'm so glad we did this and they turned out beautiful!  I love all of these pictures of our sweet baby girl!
