Ava story to tell

Well.  Ava Noel Parker entered the world a week ago.  The circumstances of this birth are more lucid.  Of course it did happen a week ago.  This time I had camera in hand.  It was interesting to hear during the procedure the doctor say, "Ok, Dad.  Stand up."  I got a photo of the doctor and nurse holding Ava from the womb.  Is it still called a womb even with a C-section?  How about place of origination?

Wendy is a trooper, as always.  She had some elevated blood pressure toward the end, which threw a kink in some planning issues.  The end result did turn out.

I had forgotten how many diapers one changes with a newborn.  I suppose all babies doo it, but Ava is notorious for causing a diaper change during a diaper change.  If you know what I mean.  And the squiggling.  It is different changing a newborn's diaper and an almost two year old's diaper.

Joy is handling the arrival pretty well.  She enjoys Ava in the bouncer and wants to make sure Ava has plenty of "moosic."

I am sure there will be many adventures of two Parker girls running around.
