#avoletgrace

Last year in September my grandmother passed away. When I found out I was pregnant I really wanted something of my grandma's made into a bear for my baby.

My mom and I rummaged through her clothes to find the perfect item, I was hoping for something she wore regularly that was the right material for a bear, we had no luck.

My mom and aunt actually found my grandma's cape and commissioned someone to make a bear for me. I got the bear after our one month milestone picture but I intend to use it for milestone comparisons.

My sweet little muffin. ❤

We bought a house. A lovely 3 bedroom, 2 bath, with 2 city lots! The house is a two story with lots of great original woodwork, french doors leading into our living room, it was newly carpeted and painted. The bedrooms are a bit smalled than we are used to, but we get so much extra stuff it's totally worth it.

At 37 weeks and 6 days at 11:41pm we welcomed our princess Avolet Grace into this world. She was 9 pounds 6 ounces and 21 and 1/4 long. She came via C-Section. I was having contractions all day but other things weren't progress so I made the decision to go C-section. (I found out later that had I continued naturally I would have ended up being forced to that route anyway because she was too big.)
