Ava 1 week!

Our little Boca baby is one week old! Today is actually her due date and it's already going by too fast. NNNOoooooo! She has been amazing so far. Pretty much just eats, sleeps, and poops. She's been so much easier than my last two. Ava has been doing wonderfully at nursing however her first latch is really strong and I'm cringing every time I put her on the breast. Luckily it's only at first. My shoulders and muscle knots already ache from nursing around the clock, but I will get stronger. Her birth weight was 6 lbs 6 oz, 6lbs 1 oz when we left the hospital and she's now 6 lbs 9 oz so the weight is coming on. 

The other girls had colds when I went into labor and a few days later H and I both got what they had, so we've all been sick in the house. We've been watching Ava like a hawk for any signs of a cold but she has been healthy with no signs of a cold. Thank God! We're praying she doesn't catch it.

  1. Congratulations on your littlest baby girl! I love her name (my little girl is Ava too!) I'll also be praying that she doesn't catch that cold, fortunately she's getting all of your immunities from nursing!

    1. Thank you Lisa! I hear you. Everyone always mentions the boy or if we will try for another one, but I think 4 is a good even number lol and I love having girls.
