Week 3

Wesley is 3 weeks old today we are starting to get the hang of it. Luckily Dave is still in town and we had my Mom (Nana) to help for a few days. We had some fun happenings....His umbilical cord fell off (still wondering if he's an innie or an outie), we went to our first mommy and me class learning about new baby stuff and meeting other newbies, and we tried the Pacifier. This was a huge discovery because it made evening fussies a little more bearable. Here are a few pics from this week- enjoy our little boy like we have!

Thanks for the grub

Thank you to everyone who provided meals for us in the last few weeks we are incredibly blessed to have so many people who love us and have come along side us during this fun and exhausted adventure!

Wesley First Week

New Baby Wesley

Well, here he is, Wesley Richard Woodruff Thomas. Our new son was born on Nov. 1, 2008, at 2:58 in the morning. Kristal had a 27 hour labor, and made it through, all be it exhausted. She started her labor early Halloween morning, about 1am. We made it to the hospital about 1pm that day, and things SLOWLY progressed from there. For those of you who have kids, you know what an amazing thing it is to watch the birth of a child. I (Dave) will never forget that day, what my wife endured for our new son, what the first cry was like, the first time I was able to hold his tiny little hand, the fear I felt at first knowing the responsibility, the peace that comes and the love that washes away that fear. It is an experience like no other. There are a couple of pictures below, one with Nana (Kristal's Mom), and a couple more of the boy. We thank you for the prayers, the endless help offered, the food that keeps coming, and most of all we thank God for all the amazing people in our lives that have helped us enjoy this time even more!
