Our baby is here...well... she's been here!

Haha......so it's been a long time since I've posted anything on here and I apologize...life has been crazy lately and it's really hard to find time to blog between feeding every few hours, changing diapers, teaching to potty train and sleeping!! I have a ton of updates though since the last time I posted...which I was still pregnant so a lot has changed since then! Enjoy!!!
First we took Bella to the zoo back in September before little sister came so Bella felt very important with Rob and I!We spent alot of quality time with Bella before Ava came.... we also celebrated my birthday on September 11th and had friends over for dinner and had cake and icecream! The last month of my pregnancy was really hard and uncomfortable so I didn't really do much until I had Ava...so nothing exciting to post....but then on Monday, October 5th.....Ava made her way into the world! I was induced and my delivery went very very fast! I had her in just a few hours and only pushed for 10 minutes!!! Dont hate me girls! haha She was absolutely beautiful!!! Here is Ava Gabrielle Freeman.... Bringing Ava home was quite the change from having one child! I was very overwhelmed at first bc trying to juggle a toddler and a newborn while recovering from labor was not fun! Bella was very good though and Rob's mom was a very big help to us..... It's sad to see Ava get bigger but at the same time I missed my sleep and was going crazy only getting a few hours each night when we were first home.... so even though she kept growing and I missed my tiny newborn...I knew life would be getting easier the bigger she got. Here are some random pics of Bella and her new sister! She loves Ava...alittle too much sometimes...haha
Next came Halloween.....we had so much fun this year, especially having Ava here to share it with!! I took Bella to Boo Barnyard at Thanksgiving Point and we had a blast playing the games and doing the little corn maze and making cookies...
We also carved pumpkins, made homemade pumpkin seeds and obviously went trick-or-treating! Bella was so adorable in her witch costume and Ava was our little pumpkin!
And last.....this is quite the catch up post....we had Ava's first newborn pictures done and she looks like a little angel! Bella loved playing dress up with her in the pictures! Look how cute....

We are so excited to have Ava in our lives...she is such an angel and life is getting fun now that we have our routine back on track!! My mom and dad are coming out for christmas and I am so glad bc its been 6 years since Ive spent a xmas with them! Also they haven't even seen Ava yet! So this will be an awesome month!!! I promise to post more on a regular basis now!!
