1 week ago was a crazy, amazing and emotional day. At 6:15 am Kristi woke me up and was having back pains. She said we should start writing down her contractions. After 3 hours of contractions and them getting stronger we called the doctor and she told us to go to the hospital and she would meet us there. When we got there Kristi was having lots of contractions and was 3 centimeters. She got an epidural, fell asleep and 4.5 hours later was 9 centimeters. The Labor nurse said it was GO TIME and started to prepare for the delivery. After 24 minutes of pushing, we had Ava Grace.

It was so amazing watching her be born. It was truly a miracle from God. He has blessed Kristi and I tremendously with Ava. After birth Ava had a very high breathing rate and they thought they were going to have to put her in the NICU. I was scared for my baby girl. But again God was good and He slowed her breathing. I was able to help give her very first bath.

To GOD be the glory. Thank you for Ava Grace.

Love Daddy.
