Katherine Avery

// November 16th, 2009 // Featured, Headline

Katherine was born November 10, 2009, in San Antonio, TX at 7:51am weighing 5 lbs 3 oz and measuring 17 inches long. She was born 3 weeks premature and, prior to delivery, was expected to stay in the hospital for almost a month in the newborn intensive care unit.

The morning of her delivery was bittersweet for me and my wife.  We were excited that we were going to be able to see her, but pretty depressed that we were not going to be able to take her home for almost a month – or even hold her for longer than a few minutes after delivery.

Thankfully, Katherine arrived almost 2 lbs heavier than the doctors expected and very healthy.  She never went to the NICU and was able to come home with us after only 2 days in the hospital.

The happiest moment of my life was in the delivery room after they weighed her and announced her weight.  She’s perfect!
