Mel & Ava

This is our good friend, Melissa Keppel visiting Ava the day she was born. Melissa found out she was pregnant one week after me with a due date two weeks after mine. She's the one that convinced me the pregnancy test was NOT broken. She delivered Gabrielle Keppel, her second child, a few hours after this picture was taken! We're pretty sure Ava & Gabe will be getting married someday!

Here's a close-up of Ava's cute little face! I was a little apprehensive about unwrapping Ava that first day and 'inspecting' my baby and Melissa just unwrapped her for me and said "why not, she's your Baby! Let's check out her cute little body!" I'll never forget the feeling of unwrapping my little bundled baby that I've waited to meet for so long!
