She’s here and Baby Ava couldn’t be any sweeter, cuter and little. It simply amazes me every. single. time. WOW! A little life just five days old! I loved getting to go and capture her in her new home. Older sister Claire was adjusting to having a new baby sister and in her family as all kids do. She was loving the extra time she was getting with her two grandmothers who were in town and helping. Thank goodness for that. I remember crying when my mother-in-law left after a week of helping with EVERYTHING- I wasn’t sure how I was going to do it. It’s a lot when you first get home with a newborn and are adjusting and have no sleep AND you have a toddler too. The wild thing about having a toddler who is your first baby is that all of a sudden she’s not the baby anymore. Just like that, she seems so big, so much older. Even just from the maternity shoot three weeks ago. Shannon, Dan, Claire, and now baby Ava are starting their new life, all together. I’m looking forward to capturing their family as they grow together.

Getting my daughter to sleep took up most of my time and I was just exhausted. Thank you Kelli for sharing the link. I decided to buy Susan Urban’s audiobook (it’s great because I could listen to it while doing other things with my child) and I am delighted. My life has changed and I am now the happiest mother in the world! Thank you again
That’s so cute! I cannot wait for my second baby to arrive… But you are right – lack of sleep may be challenging. Although I remember using a sleep training guide in a nutshell from http://www.parental-love.com and there were pretty smart tips for newborns as well. But the feedings… Anyway it’s going to be magical!
