Welcome to Parenthood!!

It has been a busy month as we welcomed our little bundle of joy, Weatherly Carol Heath, to the world! She was born on October 8, 2013. She actually came on her due date, which is something only 5 percent of babies accomplish. I'm hoping that means she is destined to be punctual for the rest of her life :)





The first two weeks were a whirlwind as Ed and I just tried to get enough sleep to semi-function. We struggled with Weatherly's weight...she wasn't packing on the pounds like she should. We finally figured out the right solution to get her to gain weight and for us to keep our sanity. At her one month appointment, the doctor gave us gold stars as our little girl was finally over 9lbs AND we seemed more alert and happy...(the truth is we were relieved she had made weight!)



We are blessed to have so much support and love from friends and family...all the calls, texts, visits, thoughts, prayers, and gifts have been amazing! Thank you! We were lucky to have Ed's parents stay for two weeks, his sister came for a weekend, and my parents and brother come to visit at least once a week. We are so fortunate to have such a great support group.


We are just living one day at a time and enjoying every minute of it. The dogs love their little sister and are enjoying all the company too. As I write this all three "babies" and Ed are asleep...hopefully I will be soon.
