Reminiscing...October 2007

Leaving the hospital was a bit surreal. It felt weird to leave with a newborn. It was like "Really? They are just going to let us leave with this baby? No rule book? No one is going to check up on us? We can just....take her?"

On the car ride home from the hospital, we listened to Bob Marley - Is this love. (Cheesy? Maybe. It's not like I'd planned out what we'd listen to - I was emotional, and that's what I wanted to hear.) Mat and I cried the whole way. We were filled with so much love for our little baby girl.

Avary was a easy baby aside from spitting up VERY often - which we later found out was due to acid reflux - which later turned out to be a cows milk intolerance.

Our late nights were filled with the standard - feedings, diapers, and...
The Allman Brothers.
2 am. Me, holding my newborn, swaddled in her pink receiving blanket...Mat, rocking 'Midnight rider' on his guitar. This quickly became our routine. Mat tried playing other songs for her - but none calmed her down faster.
She's a rocker like her daddy.
