Sweet Little Avery

Nate and Jamie Hogle have just introduced Avery Marie:


To understand the miracle behind, Avery Marie, you have to know a little bit about Nate and Jamie's story. Because of complications, Jamie was placed on bed rest at 23 weeks into her pregnancy. This is not ordinary bed rest at home with movies and ice cream, this was bed rest at Evergreen Hospital until her due date (March 29th).

Jamie was not even allowed to sit up in bed. Her friends and family were there almost everyday of her bed rest, visiting with her, watching movies, eating, even Christmas! Nate stayed with her every night in the hospital room by her side to make sure she was okay. He also had the responsibilities of buying Christmas presents, decorating the babies room, remodeling the closets, working full time, and trying not to stress out about his wife.



Jamie did an amazing job at keeping the baby healthy to grow and develop. So after 56 days in the hospital, 32 weeks along, they could not stop the labor. And here is our sweet little miracle born, Avery Marie Hogle. She was born at 10:52pm on February 2, 2009, which happens to be Aunt Whitney's half birthday. The other ironic fact is that when Whitney was born, she weighed 4 lbs 14 oz, which happens to be the same weight as Avery.

She will probably have to stay in the hosptial for a little while, but she is doing great...breathing on her own, suckling and gaining weight. We can't wait for both Jamie and Avery to leave the hospital.
