both of my best friends growing up are having babies…and coincidentally both of their due dates are the first week in november! one is out in SLC, Utah and i’ve been so excited that i’ll be out there this coming week and hopefully not miss the event!
but that meant i would miss out on lisa’s little man when he came. they live here in GA.
BUT! yesterday couldn’t have been more perfect timing…little troy decided to join us on Halloween! and it just so happens that i got off work early at 3:30 and was able to head to the hospital in Fayetteville right away!



auntie amber came by for a visit! (college roommate bestie)
and turns out we all knew emily…one of the “cone head” nurses! (even the hospital had fun on Halloween)

after a few hours they switched mommy and daddy to a more comfortable room

getting help from the nurse….(i love seeing babies all bundled into a ball of joy!)

pete is SUCH a good daddy already…
the nurse would come to check troy’s temperature and re-swaddle him
(he has big feet and long fingers like his momma! haha)


i LOVE his head full of hair…and blonde! lisa was blonde when she was little.
(they used the vacuum to get him out…so his head is extra long for now)
i played Aunt Whitney for a while…
(the lil guy does not like being moved much!)

i am his official babysitter. i decided.
love, whit





thanks for taking these wonderful pictures. We feel so bad we aren’t there.
you’re very welcome! i LOVED being there. i can play grandma and grandpa and auntie and uncle all at once!!
What a blessing and miracle and this little guy will have a birthday to remember! He does have some big feet for a wee one and that head of blond hair – he will be a heartbreaker for sure:)
Thank you for posting this! He’s so so cute! Thanks for making it feel like I’m there visiting. I cant wait to give him a big hug!
Congrats Auntie Whit! Very exciting indeed. Gorgeous pics – he is such a cutie!
thank you! i agree
