Man, she's growing fast!

So I know it's been way too long since I've done an update. I have a good excuse, I swear!

About 3 weeks after delivery I wound up with a nasty bacterial infection called C. Diff. It took 2 weeks to be diagnosed and even that wasn't until after a trip to the ER, a doctor's visit, and a couple of unpleasant tests. Apparently it was from all the antibiotics I had during delivery and ironically enough, it was an antibiotic I would have to take to get rid of it. Long story short, I was miserable for a couple weeks and now I am much better. I finally feel like myself again...for the first time since I found out I was pregnant!

On to the fun stuff, here's some pictures we've been taking along the way and just haven't uploaded yet.

We did our own little photo shoot when Avery was 2 weeks old.

She wasn't really all that amused.

"I'll give you one more, Mom. Just one."

My sweet sweet little girl.

This is a favorite of mine. Daddy's girl

This picture made me laugh because I could only think of those cards where the dogs heads are bigger than their bodies.

Look at my little bird girl. (She did have a diaper on!)

She fills this chair out a little better these days!

Avery's first Illinois game with Daddy. See the socks?

Daddy called her his little troll doll. We learned not to let Daddy have control of her hair while it's wet.

I really can't believe how fast Avery Jo is growing. I already can't remember how small she started and miss those days. It is wonderful, though, getting to spend so much time with open eyes. And the extra sleep doesn't hurt either. Our little girl has been very good to us in the sleep category. The last two nights she's gone down at 9 or 9:30 p.m. and slept until 3 a.m. then up again at 7:30 or 8 a.m. I'm hoping this becomes the new pattern until she sleeps through the night!

I'll try to do better at keeping up with posts now. Hopefully I can get a good routine going before heading back to work!
