Avery is a small little thing that we unfortunately haven't gotten to meet in person yet. I was able to skype with her tonight and got to see her open her eyes a couple times. I know Elli is excited to be a big cousin and is looking forward to skyping with Avery tomorrow. We're hoping to make a quick trip to Indy here within the next couple weeks to meet little Avery!
Welcome Avery Leigh....we can't wait to meet you!!
***************************************************
As I mentioned before, Avery's quick entrance into this world has made Scott and I brainstorm other options for what would happen if I went into labor in the middle of the night. Our original plan was that we'd just take Elli with us until one of our parents got to the hospital to take her home; however, we never considered that things could happen quicker than expected and our parents might not make it in time to take her home. Luckily, we've had a couple offers for people to take her while we head to the hospital. We don't have a definite plan yet, but will slowly develop one within the next couple months. We do know that Elli will stay at our house with our parents while we are in the hospital. Once we are home, we plan to keep things as normal as possible for her. She will continue at daycare 2 days a week while I'm on maternity leave (Multiple people have suggested we do this and since we have to pay for our daycare anyways to hold her spot....I'm all for it!)
We are about 10 weeks away from meeting this little guy and it doesn't seem like any time at all! We've got a couple of projects that we'd like to complete before this little one arrives which will make for a busy summer. We are planning on putting a patio on the back of our house. It looks like August (great timing, huh?) will be the soonest that we'd be able to get this done because of how rainy our spring was. At least we'll be able to enjoy it for a couple of months before it gets too cold. After meeting with a couple companies (we have a couple more coming out this week), we've pretty much decided on a design and have an idea of the type of pavers that will be used. I'm letting Scott take the lead on this since he has wanted this for quite some time, but we are both really excited to have a place for us to go outside! We are also planning on building a jungle gym/swing set this summer (another project I'm letting Scott take the lead on....when he told me he wanted to do this soon I thought he was crazy, but it will be nice to be able just to take Elli out in our backyard once the baby is here rather than taking both of them all the way to the park). We talked to our neighbor this weekend (they have kids very similar in age to ours) and they are just as excited for us to get this since we have the bigger yard. These 2 things, along with getting the kids' rooms ready, and refinancing our house are proving to be a busy summer.
We are really excited to meet this little guy. He is extremely active (in fact, I'm not real sure when he sleeps....he is always moving). His room is slowly coming together. We now have moved all the furniture out of his room and are preparing to move Elli's furniture over there here within the next month! This pregnancy is progressing much quicker than my last!
