Avery's First Beach Trip

-
Yesterday Meg and I took Avery to Long Beach Island. While it was way too hot to set foot on the sand or even take a walk, we had a great time driving down and hanging out in my grandparents' air conditioned house!

Here are some pictures from yesterday's excursion...

There wasn't a cloud in the sky!!!





















Avery was great...She LOVED the ceiling fans and slept peacefully through both of her naps.





















Avery loved being the center of attention (as usual)!








































She enjoyed spending time with her great grandparents (I'm pretty sure they loved it too!!)
































But nothing compared to spending quality time with her moms...


I think it's safe to say that this happy little girl will grow up loving LBI as much as Meg and I do...

















BONUS:

I managed to catch Avery's first attempt at a roll (Don't get too excited. She's far from rolling over, but her smile is too cute for words!)


Meg Update:

Meg had her 6 week OB check up on Tuesday. All of our favorite nurses came out to sneak a peak of Avery while we were sitting in the waiting room. It's so amazing how many people love this little girl (including many of you)...As far as the visit went, the doctor said everything looked great and that Meg's episiotomy healed perfectly.

Unfortunately, the doctor also told us that she will be leaving the practice in August (She's moving to DC to be with her husband. Apparently they've been living apart for the past year!!!)

The only other news I have to report is that Meg got her period on Wednesday. She's slightly uncomfortable from that, but otherwise is doing well.

I know it's been a few days since I last blogged, so I just wanted to give you an update... Meg and I have been busy getting ready for the new school year (she came to school with my mom and I and organized my classroom library!!) She's still feeling nauseous and doesn't seem to have much of an appetite. She claims that it's all worth it, so that's a good sign! Friday is our next ultrasound appointment...I think we're supposed to hear the heartbeat, so that's exciting! With only 2-4 weeks left at RMA we're running out of time to find an obgyn. This afternoon I spoke with a receptionist from a doctor's office affiliated with a brand new hospital opening in November. It's only 17 minutes from our house, so it's perfect AND it's located in NJ, so my name can go on the birth certificate at the time of the birth. BONUS! The receptionist was really nice. She told me that there are 6 doctors and 4 midwives in the practice and that they w...

Finally...

FINALLY!!! It was only a matter of time before we heard some good news... Today, Meg had her 41 week appointment. They took us back to exam room 3...hooked her up to the monitors for a nonstress test. Avery was very active and looked great. Meg even had 3 minor contractions. Unfortunately Meg showed no progress in terms of dilation. Are you ready for the good news??? The doctor said, "It's time." We are scheduled to go to the hospital tonight at 6. There, we will be greeted by one of our favorite doctors. She will give Meg Cervidil to help ripen her cervix (and will hopefully calm Meg's nerves...she's good like that!) Tomorrow morning another doc will come in to check Meg's progress. She will most likely break Meg's water and administer Pitocin. Avery will hopefully be born on May 3rd and follow in the footsteps of her family (Meg-November 3, Uncle Eddie-October 3rd, Grandpop-September 3rd, Cousin Ryleigh-January 3rd) As our dogs play on the fl...

One Week Later...

It has been 7 days since the birth of our beautiful little girl and I've already learned so much...Here are the highlights so far... 1. I've learned how to change a wet diaper. 2. Keeping with number 1, I've learned that if I don't change Avery's diaper fast enough or if I try to change her before she fully wakes up Avery will pee on me! (definitely not just a boy thing!) 3. I've learned how to change a poopy diaper. 4. Keeping with number 3, I've learned that Avery can (and will) projectile poop if I don't change her diaper fast enough (happened twice so far!) 5. I've learned how to swaddle Avery (Meg is still much better at this than I am!) 6. I've learned how to make a bottle. 7. I've learned how to burp Avery..I'm kind of an expert! 8. I've learned how to tell when Avery is hungry (she does this weird thing with her tongue...Meg calls it rooting...I call it "Barney Crouch-ing"...after the guy in Harry Pot...
