She's Here!!!



MaryAnne arrived just before Easter Sunday. She weighed 8lbs. 1 oz and was 20 inches long. Labor and delivery went without complication. Eric and I couldn't help feeling déjà vu - not only does MaryAnne look just like Ava did as a newborn, but she was essentially the same weight and length. The similarities don't stop there: I went into labor at the same time 1:00AM  both girls were right on their due date and born in the afternoon. The only difference I have noticed so far: MaryAnne is a sleepier baby than Ava was, and she is still working on regaining the weight she lost in her first few days of life.

About 3 hours old

Ava had her Easter Egg hunt in my hospital room since I didn't get discharged until the evening of Easter Sunday.

The day we took MaryAnne home we wanted to get a picture in her Easter bunny shirt . Right before Eric snapped the photo Ava jumped in the picture!
