Welcome Home Tatum!


Our dear friends, Charity & Michael, had their precious baby, Tatum, exactly a week ago today, February 15th at 7:07 in the morning. She weighed only 4lbs, 5oz and is the cutest little thing I've ever seen. She came into this world 5 weeks early with only needing extra warmth for the first few days. I saw her the day after she was born so I wasn't able to hold her or unwrap her and see her cute little body. She was able to go home with mama & daddy on Saturday. She is a precious gift from God and we are so thankful for her safe and healthy arrival.


Here are a couple pictures of Charity and I on the Friday night before she delivered (of course didn't realize this at the time). Our due dates were only 2 days apart - what are the chances of that happening?! But our kids will still have birthdays about a month apart.




Congratulations Michael & Charity! We are so happy for you. Tatum has two of the most wonderful parents who will love her to pieces. May God richly bless your family in the months and years to come. We love you!

Hello! My parents are good friends with Matt's dad and Bobbie, and we had a 35 week baby girl on the 17th of February and she was bitty too, only 5 lbs 2.9 oz. I know exactly what it feels like to go home from the hosptial without your newborn. I'm glad to hear that this baby and mommy are doing well!
