She's finally here! Avery Kathleen Lazuta was born on Tuesday, September 15th at 2:18 P.M.! She weighed 6 lbs. even at birth, and is 19 1/2 inches long (tall and teeny!). She made a dramatic entrance, as the doctors were a bit worried about her at the end of the delivery! We came home on Thursday, and Avery was doing great! On Friday we had a bit of a bump in the road... Avery had a bit of Jaundice in the hospital, and when they checked it on Friday, it had gone up quite a bit. So... we've had a couple of worry-filled days! She had to start treatment on a "photo-therapy" blanket to pump UV rays into her body to help her metabolize the bilireuben cells that weren't flushing out of her system properly (I could really be messing this up, but this was my understanding of it...). The blanket made her look like a little gloworm- it was really cute, but we were concerned about it working! Right now we are still touch and go. Her levels have gone down some, so we're just waiting to see if she can start to get better! Otherwise, she is absolutely perfect in every way! Here are some pictures from her first few days:).
