Well, last weekend didn't exactly go as planned, but we still had a good time anyway. Adam, Aimee, and the boys were supposed to drive down from Denver on Tuesday, and we should've had a long weekend of visiting with them... unfortunately, between CO and GA, Conner (the 2 year old) came down with croup, so our plans changed. Instead of coming over right away when they got into town on Wednesday evening, they visited Aimee's family and friends. Thursday morning, they took Conner to Avery's pediatrician where he received a shot and they learned that he'd be contagious for another 24-36 hours. This, of course, was bad news for us.
We were finally able to visit with all of them on Saturday. We had dinner with them on Saturday night and they came back over on Sunday afternoon and stayed the night with us. Since Avery is still too young to go out and about, there's not a whole lot to talk about from the time we all spent together. It was mainly just a good visit with family.
We did attempt a walk to our neighborhood playground, but the distance was grossly misjudged, it was misting rain, and there was a beer-spilling incident before we even got down the street. So needless to say, it just ended up being just a walk to get the excess energy out of the kids and dog (mainly the dog, I'd say).
Avery did get her first shot at the pediatrician's office on Friday. She could have gotten it at the hospital, but we chose to hold off until her one month visit. As expected, she cried and her momma was upset for her, but she recovered very quickly as soon as I picked her up. She weighs 8 lbs 13 oz now and is 21 in long. She's growing like a champ!
Here's a few photos from this weekend:

Ed and I also had our follow up visit with our doula, Tracey, this past Saturday. We talked about the labor and how we felt about it, she gave us a timeline of the day, and she showed us the photos she took while she was there (she gave us these as well). This is a photo of Tracey, Avery, and I. We are so glad we hired her for our birth. It would've been a completely different experience without her there.
Anyhow, enough for now. I must go spend some time with my husband and our little girl now that he's home from work. Have a great rest of the week!
