We are so pleased and proud to announce that our little girl, Avery Jane, is now home from the hospital. After 26 days in the hospital NICU, she was discharged today and we were able to bring Avery home this afternoon. So far, things have been going very well. She had a great feeding and is now sleeping soundly for mom and dad. (I'm sure that will change). :)
We are doing well as we attempt to figure everything out. A BIG thank you to our nurses in the NICU at St Johns Hospital. They took such excellent care of Avery and fell in love with her. We are so grateful to each and every one of them.
We also wanted to send another HUGE thank you to all of you! Your prayers, emails, cards, gifts and phone calls have meant the world to us - more than you can imagine. God has blessed us with a beautiful baby girl and with support and love from so many family and friends. THANK YOU!

Welcome home Avery! We are so excited you are home with your wonderful Mommy and Daddy! :)
YipPEE!!!! Isn't it a weird feeling?? We have the same carseat, love it. And we had our 5.14 baby girl in it. Now she is hanging off the ends, it will be no time! So happy for you and praying for lots of nighttime sleep!! Love you!
Yeah!! We are so excited that Avery is home! :) Can't wait to catch up with you soon.
Great news ... Avery is adorable! She looks so cute in her seat. Austin is a bit on the heft side for a five month old but he has the same seat and is already getting too big for it.
They grow up so fast ... :)

Yea! Welcome home, Avery! We have that same travel system too, and we loved it. Soon, you won't be able to imagine how your home ever was without your darling little girl in it.
