Birth Mark

When Ava was born, she has what is commonly known as a "Stork Bite" on the back of her head. It's essentially a birth mark that will probably fade by the time she's 18 months old.

Scene: I'm sitting upstairs in bed with the baby and Blake comes in the room.

R: I am so in love with this little girl!
B: That's a good thing, she is pretty amazing.
R: What is your favorite part of her?
B: All of her.
R: You have to choose just one.
B: I think right now it's her "Ostrich Peck".
R: Her what?
B: The birthmark on her head, the "Ostrich Peck!"

She's Here!

Ava Kathryn Hendrickson was born on July 2nd, 2010 at 8:30pm. She weighed in at 6lbs and was 19.5" long. We've now been home for about 3.5 weeks, and things are great! She is the most amazing, perfect, funny, sweet, wonderful little being that we have ever met in our lives. Had we known what parenthood would have been, we would have done this a long time ago!
