With Oakley's birth being at a birth center, we were able to leave the center as soon as we wanted to. So, after a good feeding, and a thorough physical exam of Oakley, we left about 4 hours after she was born. Arriving at home around 5 o'clock in the morning, we were blessed with the scampering of excited feet running to our room only 2 hours later. With puffy eyes I turned the light on so that the kids could see their brand new baby sister. It was such a spiritual/crazy few minutes. The room was dim, the kids were trying to be quiet and each one took their turn kissing and touching their new sister. Thankfully, Grandma Heath came and took the kids to her house a few minutes later until Jess came in to town. Austin and I were exhausted. I was glad the kids got to see Oakley before they left though.
Grandma Heath's first visit with Oakley.
Aunt Jessie helped out so much. I could not have don't it without her. Her and Jenna took the kids with them for the whole week. It gave me time to rest, recover, and enjoy our new little angel. Thank you so much Jess. Seriously. Words don't quite say enough.
