Introducing Avery Laine!

Surprise!!! Avery Laine decided her induction date of Tuesday was too far away. Instead, Saturday, February 2nd sounded like the perfect day to meet her mommy and daddy!

So, after a quick and drug-free labor (yes, that's right---no time for an epidural!), my HERO of a sister, delivered beautiful Avery Laine Henke at 8:32 am this morning. Cortni will share the whole story when she is home, but let me just say that she and Adam arrived at the hospital at 7:50 and had a baby 40 minutes later. :)

She is absolutely precious with the most kissable cheeks you've ever seen. 9 pounds, 1 ounce and 20 1/4 inches of cuteness! Our family is once again thankful for another beautiful, healthy baby.

Everyone is doing very well, and will update with much more detail when they arrive home, hopefully Monday morning.

Here are a few pictures until then...
She already has a fan club following...these kids were glued to the window!
Big Brother Braden gives his first kiss to Baby Avery...
And, for the grand finale, Avery's first bowhead picture. It makes her aunt Chelsea proud. :)We love you, Baby Avery!

Oh my gosh, Cortni. I can't wait to hear this story! Way to go having that baby drug-free (even though you didn't choose it). I totally know what that is like and it's not fun! But the result is beautiful! I love the bow!
