Avery's First Few Minutes

Click the above window to watch a video of Avery's first minutes of life! We are doing great, not sleeping as much as we would like but certainly worth it! She has been great so far and not too fussy. We'll see, supposed to go home Saturday morning!

It's a Girl! Avery Eleanor Reinold

We are pleased to introduce Avery Eleanor Reinold, born at 9:15 AM on Thursday December 11, 2008. She weighs 5 lbs. 15 oz. and measured 18 1/2 inches! Avery and Sandi are both recovering well. Thank you everyone for all your phone calls, emails, and text messages!

Labor

We are heading into the hospital later on tonight to spend the evening and start inducing. Hope to have Baby Reinold at some point tomorrow! Hope to have news soon!

Christmas Party

Baby Reinold was officially due yesterday but obviously is deciding to be "fashionably late." So, instead of spending our due date in the Labor and Delivery ward, Mike and I went to my work Christmas Party! It was nice to see all of my work buddies! I have another MD appointment on Monday (unless Baby decides to come on Mike's birthday, Sunday)! I will keep you all posted!

Our Nursery

I have had a lot of people asking me about our nursery so here is a little collage of pictures for you. If you click on the collage, you can see the pictures in a larger scale. It's pretty cute and cozier in person...maybe not so cute or cozy once that Diaper Champ starts being used!

Baby Reinold

Well...11 days until our due date and NO sign of Baby Reinold just yet. Thankfully my last day of work is this wednesday. I really don't know how many more times I can hear patients comment "Oh...you've dropped" or "You're still here!!" I will miss my co-workers over the next few months but am looking forward to the BIG change ahead! We'll keep you posted on Bambino's arrival!
