Nathan-By the Week

In an effort to catch up, I thought I would just go back through my pictures of Nathan and post a picture of him from each week. They aren't necessarily the best pictures I have of him, but the ones that were taken on each Wednesday that celebrated another week in in his life!

1 Week old:


My mom was here for the first 4 weeks of Nathan's life! I can not even begin to express how wonderful it was for Matt and I to have her not only helping with the care of Nathan but sharing in our joy those first few weeks. Matt and I both missed her when she left. I think Nathan did too!! :)


2 Weeks old:


3 Weeks old:


My dad came out to meet Nathan at the end of Mom's trip. Nathan and Pappy hit it off right away...even at the airport :)










4 Weeks old:


Dad and Mom Witt and the girls came out to meet Nathan between 4 & 5 Weeks! Here's some shots of them with their new grandson/nephew.








We also got to celebrate Mom Witt's birthday while she was out here!

And tomorrow he will be 12 weeks old! Oh how the time flies! Speaking of 12 weeks...that is the official end of my maternity leave. However, I told my work about a month ago that I will not be returning so that I can stay at home with Nathan. They have graciously offered to keep me on as hourly and are providing me with some work to do at home and occasionally coming into the office with Nathan...at a maximum of eight hours a week. So it is wonderful to still have the connection with a work family that I love, and also be able to give my real family all of the love and attention they need by dedicating my time to them in the home. So thank you for all who have said a prayer on our behalf in regards to this decision. God has been so good!
