Okay...Finally, the day has arrived to present our new addition! Avonlea Grace Crain was born Monday, June 7th at 10:52 pm. She weighed in at 7 lbs. 3 oz. & measured 19 1/4 inches long.
She was welcomed into the world with "the Dirty Dozen" waiting for her to arrive in the waiting room. This included: Mom & Dad, Uncle Patrick, Jeff's Parents, Grandma Crain, Janie & Billy, Great Aunts Denise, Julie, & Helen, & Stacy. Thank you to all of you for putting in the LONG hours for Ms. Avonlea.
The Hospital. We checked in Sunday, June 6th at 5pm to start medication for the induction. Contractions started that night, but were very slow. Pitocin (drug to bring on labor) followed the next day. Avonlea didn't come until 10:52pm, so it was a long day! We have been loving every second with our sweet baby girl! I'm sure that I will be updating again soon.
Here are some highlights of the big event...
Love it! Wish I could have been among the dirty dozen, but so glad you had lots of great cheerleaders. Give Avonlea a big kiss and tell her she's got lots of love floating down from Dallas.
