At midnight on Saturday July 18th, Dawn went into labor and we rushed to the hospital. A short time later, at 2:27am, Ava was born! It was a short but difficult labor and Dawn was remarkably strong and focused. Ava came so quickly that the main doctor didn’t even make it into the room for the delivery! She came out healthy, crying, and beautiful! She was 8lbs 1oz and 20 inches long, although to us she seems a little bit smaller than her measurements suggest. She has just a little bit of hair. We haven’t had a chance to sleep since then, so we are very tired and are going to try to get some rest tonight. So for now, we’ll just post some pictures of our new little girl!
Absolutely adorable!! I especially LOVE the picture with the daisy headband!!!
Hi Matt & Dawn

Ava shares her birthday with me & I’m thrilled by that! Would love to see her soon.
