On Saturday morning at 12:30 am, Amanda's water broke. We had just come back from playing games at our friends house, and we had our good friends Chris & Julie staying the night. With there help, we loaded up and headed to the hospital. Labor seemed to be going alright, but a couple of hours in, the doctors said the baby's heart was dropping and we might need a c-section. However, it started to look a little better, so we thought we wouldn't have to. Later, the his little heart rate kept dropping, and the next thing we knew we were getting ready for the O.R.! In just a few minutes, at 7:11 am on October 11th Avery Brian Turpin made his first cry. It was the most overjoyous experience- we can't even explain how we felt. He weighed in at 7lbs 15oz and was 20 inches long with dishwater blond hair like Brian's. He was born on Amanda's dad, Bret's, birthday.
Even though we weren't expecting a c-section, we are so thankful and exciting that we have little Avery here with us. He is already bringing so much joy into our lives- he is the most precious thing, and even though he's only been here a few days, we can't imagine life without our little Avery Brian.

Congratulations! I'm so glad to hear that the delivery went well! Just like you said, I too know he'll bring you lots of "joy and happiness!" Can't wait to see more pictures as he grows up! (But he's really cute right now too!)
