Wow! The first week has been awesome! We are loving being parents.
We stayed two nights in the hospital after Avery was born. We wanted to be there to feed her in the night and spend as much time with her as possible. We stayed one more night in AJ's birthtown, and went to the birthfamily's house for lunch. We enjoy hanging out with them.
Right now, we are staying in Montgomery waiting for the lawyers to work their magic so we can leave the state. We hosted Tracey's Dad, Mom, brother, sister and the birthfamily in our hotel room so everyone could get to know each other. It was a great visit, and everyone felt as if we were family from the beginning. We can't wait to get home, and try to get into some kind of routine for AJ.
AJ is doing really well. We took her to the Air Force base here in Montgomery to enroll her in our insurance and have her weighed. She has gained 5 ounces since she was born. She is normally waking up twice a night (2 AM and 5:30 AM), but last night she slept from 11PM to 5:30 AM. Wooohooo! We sure appreciated that!
We'll keep you all posted from here so check back often.
Go Hogs!

She's beautiful. And Our God is good; He chose to call you from before time began to be adoptive parents, Avery Joy's parents. Just as we have been adopted by our Father into His household, so He brings Avery Joy to yours. By His grace, He gives her to your care so that someday she will experience the ultimate adoption into the house of her Heavenly Father through her Savior. Praying His love, presence and peace guard you and keep you. We love you--Kim, Daniel, Austin and Michael
