| getting to know my daughter... |
here she is!lil' miss ava jai crocker
arrived on july 16, 2010 at 8:07 am
she weighed 9lbs, 2oz and was 19" long.
later on i found out what a difficult time my doctor had delivering her.
she was breech and pretty stubborn, but they finally wrestled her out!
(which made for a super FUN recovery!!!)
all in all, i was just so relieved that she was healthy!
no NICU stays for this baby!

| so happy and relieved... | |

 |
| proud daddy! |

 |
| ta-da! |
the anticipated arrival!
to everyone's surprise, (especially my doctor!)
baby chocolate chip didn't make her appearance early.
she was a big baby and i was carrying ALOT of fluid,
so my doctor thought for sure she would come early.
as a matter of fact, she tried to stay as long as she could on the day of her scheduled arrival.
dr. johnson later told me that she DID NOT want to come out...
they had a tough time convincing her to come out and meet us!
 |
| about to leave the labor unit |

| mark's sister, sandy, got to assist in the delivery! |

 |
| about to meet our lil' chocolate chip! |
