Phew! What a busy 10 days it has been! Avi is here and healthy!!! The birth went a little different than planned, but all that matters is that Avi and I are doing great and we're home learning how to be a family of four! Adam and I went in for an induction on Saturday morning and Avi was born at 2:09am on Sunday (4/8/18) via c-section. I labored and labored and labored but he wasn't progressing (despite getting fully dilated) and his heart rate was dropping with contractions so c-section it was... Recovery has been slower but not too bad. Avi weighed 7 pounds 12 oz- (only a oz bigger than Isla- she was 7pounds 11 oz) after all the worry about him being too big! We spent 3 nights at the hospital and had wonderful nurses. Being home has been great and Isla is doing very well with her new "big sister" role! Avi is a mellow baby and just wants to eat and sleep a lot! We were super thankful that my parents live so close and were able to watch Isla while we were in hospital!
