Holding Avery!!

Tonight was a wonderful experience, we finally got to hold Avery. Right after she was born, she was taken to the NICU to prepare for surgery. Since then, she was been too fragile to hold. She is so sweet and precious! Hopefully we'll be able to hold her each day!

Here are some pictures:
