Here she is, our little Avery Brooke Downey. It seems like we were waiting for her forever, and then suddenly she was here. And I really mean suddenly! My labor with Trent lasted 22 hours, but this little girl was in a hurry and the labor was only 3 hours long. Everything happened so fast that they weren't able to give me an epidural until about 15 minutes before she was born, and it never really kicked in so it was basically a natural, painful birth and I wasn't really prepared for that. But at least it was over quickly.So she was born March 16th at 2:56 am. She was 7 lbs. 11 oz. and 21 inches long. She has dark blue eyes like Trent, and her hair is dark blonde with a little red. So far she shows no signs of being colicky like Trent was (thank goodness!) and she's a great sleeper. We look forward to getting to know her more as her little personality grows and develops!

Congratulations! She is beautiful!
Wonderful picture! Wow - she did cooperate for that one! We loved meeting her in person - thanks for letting us come!
Awwww...what a delightful photo! Very cute. I hear you on the epidural not kicking in...with David they gave me nothing, and with Kara the anesthesiologist must have been on a long lunch or something, so he was too late. I had an epidural for the last 2 pushes. (Natural is SO not for me.)
Yippee, that part is over! Hope you can get a tiny bit of sleep now and then.
Congratulations you guys! She is absolutely adorable! Keep us posted with pictures!
She's beautiful and looks a lot like her Mama! So sorry about the epidural, but I bet you are sure glad to have her out! I can't wait to meet her!
Finally! It does seem that you were pregnant forever. But it's over now. And what a precious trophy you have to show for it. I can't wait to meet her.
Beautiful adorable, wonderful....the words are insufficient.
Congratulations! She's so cute!
