Going back to work was extremely difficult for me. I suffered from post partum depression. Learning how to balance our new life was a challenge, especially with having family so far away.
Since my last post Josh has completed his first year of grad school, yay!!!! He has been staying home over the summer and taking care of Ava while I work. Supporting a family of three is a very different experience than a family of two but it is such a joy to be able to do so.
Ava is now 6 1/2 months old. She got another set of shots at her 6 month check up :( We also found out that she now weighs 17lbs 2 oz and is measuring 26 1/4 inches long. Both are in the 75%. Her head on the other hand is still in the 97%, but we knew that was going to be the case. Having 60 stitches from childbirth, i knew her head was going to be on the.... bigger than average size.
