Calister Grey Whitlock







I hate that I can't figure out how to put theses pictures in order, but i'm sure it's pretty clear what came first, second, so on...! We're so excited to announce that Calister Grey Whitlock entered into this world on 12/2/13, We're assuming he didn't want to miss out on any of the Christmas festivities and so joined us a bit earlier then planned, his planned due date was 12/25/13. He had some respiratory problems and eating problems, so had to stay in the NICU for 10 days, that was a trial itself, plus trying to balance the other 2 kiddos. I have to say we're so blessed though, there were so many other babies in there that had been there alot longer then we were anc had to be. I'm so grateful for modern medicines and technology! Calister weighed in at a whoppin 7lbs 1 ounce and 19 3/4 inches long, pretty good for 3 1/2 weeks early! So far he LOVES sleeping and loves warm baths, but does not like getting out of the bath or the rub down that comes afterward. We're still trying to get things down with 3 kids but I think it will just come with practice! We've been so spoiled by family, friends, neighbors, we couldn't ask for better people in our lifes, how lucky we are!
