Truman Reading Hartwell

Our sweet little Truman—or "Toomey," as big sister calls him— arrived on Tuesday, March 5 at 8:03 pm. (Apparently my due dates are 5 days too early.) He's our chunker, weighing in at 8 lbs 5 oz and was 20 inches long. He's a doll and we're all completely smitten.


I'm so grateful to have Chris by my side through these life changes. Filling out the paperwork there were lots of questions about paternity, parents being married, etc. I was so glad I didn't have to worry about it. In Truman's short life we've already had a really crappy day and an ER visit. Come to think of it, it was actually the same day. It was overwhelming. And my sweet husband just did what he needed to do to take care of us, inconvenient and messy, all while sleep deprived. Our little family of four is going to be just fine with him at the head.

A huge shout out to my mom who has made the transition from one to two a little smoother. Her and Millie are the best of buds, and it's been so nice to have her holding down the home front. She's taken great care of all of us, and we'll be sad to see her go tomorrow.

What a cutie! I love chunky babies! Okay so you need to expound on the ER visit...is everything alright? Maybe once you get a bit more sleep, right??? :)
I'll tell you, going from 1 to 2 kiddos is pretty crazy. I think I got the hang of it 6 months into it ;) Haha!

He is beautiful! I'm sorry it's been a rough start though. Thank goodness for moms! Mine stayed with me for two weeks, and I don't know how I would have made it without her...and I didn't even have another kiddo waiting on me! Both of your babies are gorgeous, and I'm so happy for you!

Congratulations! I can't tell if he looks more like Deidra or Chris, but he definitely belongs in your family! Good luck!
