I’m so happy to share with you all my baby girl Ava Marie Douglas. She was born today at 12:40 central time. She weighs 6lbs 15.5 ounces and she is 21 inches long. She has a beautiful head of hair, unlike her pops. I love her so much. Mom and baby are doing fine, I have an iv of Mt. Dew in and am recovering. My little girl is only one day old and already a tv star. Click here to see video and an interview with a proud pappa. Also click here to listen to Spider-Man’s daddy Stan Lee welcome little Ava into the world.
