First Week At Home

Hard to believe our precious little Sweet Pea has been home for a week already! She's met so many important people in that time frame and Mommy has had great fun taking pictures of all her first encounters. We are so grateful that we have so much love and support around us! We are truly blessed with great friends and family...this little girl will grow up with more love than she knows what to do with! When I was pregnant, I was telling one good friend of mine that this baby was going to have so many aunties and uncles that she was going to have a hard time keeping track of who was actually biologically related to her. His response was "As long as she's got lots of love around her, it really doesn't matter!" I like that thought. :)

Meet Michaela Debbie Wester

We became the proud parents of a beautiful baby girl February 1, 2011 at 05:14am. Michaela Debbie Wester entered the world, and our lives truly will never be the same. Even though we had to stay in hospital a little longer than expected due to her jaundice, we have honestly loved every minute with her so far and couldn't be more happy that she is here and she is ours! Enjoy the pictures!

Waiting For Baby

Well, here we are! Baby Wester is due February 3, 2011...3 short weeks away! So many emotions come with a moment like this. I'm so ready to meet this little person who's been inside me for all this time, and yet not at all ready for the nights spent pacing back and forth wondering how to make my baby stop crying. I'm ready to give up the aches and pains of being pregnant, but not at all ready for a simple outing to take twice as long to prepare for. Yet as Brad and I were discussing all of this tonight, we both know that as soon as this little person arrives, we won't be able to imagine life without him or her. Everything we know is about to change, but I know it's for the better! Baby, we're ready when you are!
