Ava Espyn Murset

She's here! We arrived at the hospital around 9:30 and they gave Monica the pitocin soon after we arrived and Ava was born soon after. The labor was very short and everything went really well. Monica is resting now and has fed Ava already.

She was 7 lbs. 14 oz. and 21" long. She was born at 12:39 p.m. If she would have come on her own she'd have been in the mid 8 lb. range.

Here she is!

I'm sitting right here next to Tyler posting this. It's funny that I went to your blog to look at pictures of Ava rather than looking immediately to my left where she is being held by Lori. Ahhh technology.
