Baby Whit

I decided to just post some pics of our little man. I have no idea where to start in terms of talking about the last few weeks. Quite honestly it has been a whirlwind and I am running on little sleep! Mimi (my mom) stayed with us and helped us with everyday tasks. I wish she lived closer:( Jonathan's parents have made dinner for us which was so nice. Aunt Sarah came for a visit as well and we all went to the New Hope Arts and Crafts Festival for an hour or so. We also enjoyed lunch at Havana. It was nice to get out of the house! Uncle Chris came to town as well to see his little nephew. I cannot begin to tell you the well wishes people have sent; we are truly blessed to have wonderful friends and family!

Hospital Stay

Our stay at the hospital was great! I had a private room which made me very happy. We were discharged on Saturday and our family of three ventured home. Here are a few pics of our stay and welcome home!

Baby Whitaker is Here!

Well, it has been quite some time since my last post and there is so much to share that I don't know where to start!

I will start from the beginning! Baby Whit was born on 9/10/09 at 9:06am. We went to the hospital the night before and after being given medicine, we were told that he would make his debut by 8:00 the next night. Well at midnight things started happening and I got some much needed relief from the Epi at around 1:00am! I slept through the night and was told that I would shower in the morning and expect arrival @ noon. Well, the next thing I know I am on oxygen and told that this baby is coming sooner than expected. At 7:00am I was greeted by two of my doctors and due to the shift change, they both decided to stay and welcome my baby to the world. After a quick and easy labor, Baby Whitaker arrived!!! It was love at first sight.

Whitaker was a picture of good health after a little oxygen! Needless to say, due to the speed of delivery our families were surprised by our phone call stating he had arrived. They were going to get to the hospital at 10:30 for a 12:00 delivery. Due to all of the commotion in the morning, we were unable to let them know he was ahead of schedule.

Pics to follow ASAP!
