Ava Marie Nolte is finally here!!!
She was born at 7:18am on Wednesday, May 7th, 2008.
7 lbs 1 oz & 21 inches long
She is even more amazing than we could have imagined!
Mom and baby Ava are both doing well.
Erica's water broke Tuesday at 3:30pm while teaching at school. Auntie Melisa, Grandma Jean, and Grandpa Dave sprang into action getting Erica to the hospital and taking care of things at the house. Meanwhile, Ryan was working in Evansville, Indiana. He was getting ready to fly to Chicago when he got the call 45 minutes before his scheduled flight. Fortunately, Ryan was able to catch a flight home and arrived in Minneapolis at 9:30pm. He got to the hospital in plenty of time to help Mom through her toughest labor. Erica (and Ryan) survived 16 hours of contractions and laboring with the help of wonderful nurses, doctors and some EXCELLENT drugs :)
We can't describe in words how we felt the moment Ava was born - it was absolutely the most amazing thing ever! We are beyond excited and loving her like crazy - neither of us can take our eyes off her - She's so beautiful!!!
We can't decide who she looks like...we'll let you be the judge...pics coming soon!
