Nascar Racing

So I left Jordan with Avonelle so I could go shower and this is what I came back to. Him on the coach watching the race and her sitting happily in her swing also watching the race. I am out numbered if she is on his side! oh well...

Blessing Day

We had Avonelle blessed this past sunday. My brother Jason is awsome and pretty well set the whole thing up for us. We had her blessed in his ward and he even blessed her for us.

He is great! We are really grateful that he blessed her for us. and that he and Nicole let us steal some of their thunder by blessing her the same day as Broc. They must love us! :0) There are some really cute pictures of the whole thing but these are pretty well the only ones I have so I will have to ask around and get more. She is in the same blessing dress that was my blessing dress...

black and white photos

So my brother Jason and his wife have some really cute pictures of their baby boy Broc (who is 3 days older than Avonelle) and they told me how to do them, so I tried it! and here is the out come! I think they turned out ok since I know nothing of photography! I should take a class. :o)

Better looking every day.

She has that Austin trait. You know, the one where we get better and better looking everyday! haha. It must be a Goff Trait too, so she gets it double. :o)

Avonelle in the beanie I made her

This is Avonelle still in the hospital with her beanie on that I made her.

Baby Avonelle

Avonelle was Born on April 27th. 3 weeks early! It was the day after her Great Grandmother Avonelles birthday whom we named her after. She was 8 pds and 19.5" long. My water broke on the 25th and I wasn't sure whether I was just peeing my pants or not! So I didn't go in... So, if you think you might be peeing your pants just a few drops every 3-4 hours or so... your water could have broken. it doesn't have to come in a gush! My baby shower was on the 26th. And I finally decided that I should at least go to the hospital and check to be safe, since you aren't supposed to go to long with your water broken. The nurse didn't think that my water had broken either, but they did a test under the microscope, and sure enough! it was my water, so they put me on pitocin, and started the contractions! I was up all night with contractions with the nurses turning the pitocin up then for whatever reason they turned it down, and the next nurse never started it back up again so I started un-dialating... my doctor came in mid morning and was pissed! She said either shit or get off the pot! turn the pitocin up as long as the baby is tolerating it. so they turned it up HIGH! it was a never ending contraction!!! I was going to try to do it all natural, but no way! I got the epidural and took a 3 hour nap. woke up and an hour or so later was ready to push. I am lucky I had my doctor. I would have ended up with a c-section if I had another doctor because my water was broken for so long. They kept Avonelle in the nursery most of our hospital stay, because they were giving her antibiotics. POOR LITTLE GIRL! the IV is what is on her arm in the picture. so then she was spoiled and wanted a bottle because it is easy and that is what the nursery gave her.

This is our baby girls ultra sound! I was around 19 weeks along when we got it.

This is her spine and ribs.

And this is her face.

You can see where her

teeth are under her gums.
