Today was Ava’s first day home! We were finally released from the Ohio State University hospital at about 12:30 PM, and all is well. Kate is recovering quickly, and Ava seems to be pretty enamored with sleeping. If she’s not eating, she’s sleeping…sleep and eat…that seems to pretty much be her routine. Normal stuff for newborns, of course, but my favorite moments are when she exhibits those fleeting sings of recognition. Her eyes might focus for a second on something, and you can almost feel her neurons firing as she tries to make some sort of connection, and then it’s gone. What an experience this is going to be…watching her grow, and learn, and become a full-fledged human being!
