Hey Everybody! Ava Claire Is Here!

The newest member of our family, Ava Claire Dickerson, made her debut April 2 at 5:00 pm. Her very excited big brother, Ethan, ran into the waiting room and yelled, "Hey everybody! Ava Claire is here!" He was so happy and excited. He kept looking at her and saying, "She's beautiful. She loves me!" It was so precious.

She weighed 6 pounds 9 ounces and was 20.5 inches long. We finally got to come home Saturday after 2 long days in the hospital. Nana and Poppy came home with us. Nana stayed for Ava's first week at home to help out Mommy and Daddy although I think Ethan kept Nana more busy than baby Ava. We are so happy to finally have Ava here!038
