Oakley is 8 weeks and 1 day old.

Oakley is now 8 weeks and 1 day old. We have been home for 4 weeks today.
Oakley continues to do wonderful. Being our fourth child she is by far the best
baby that we have had. She sleeps well, eats well and is just such a joy to be with.
She does sleep most of the day and wakes up around 8pm and stays awake until 12am. She is starting to makes lots of noises and trys really hard to coo but nothing
has come out just yet. Oakley's brothers think that she is all that and then some.
Peyton our 7 year old calls her Oakley Doodle Bug and he tells her all the time that
she is a little miracle. Christopher or Fatback loves to play with her and loves to wake her up to talk with her. Auston our oldest thinks if she crys that someone is hurting her when all she needs is a diaper change or a bottle. I never would have thought that they would all be so wonderful with a little sister. All I can say is the boys will never knock on our door with these brothers.


Brian and I had prepared ourselves for so much, when we found out that our baby had CDH. I say this knowing that I never prepared myself for the worse, which would have been loosing her. We never concidered that to be an option for us. Some how we knew that she was going to be ok and God gave us that peace.

We pray for all CDH babies and their families daily. We have met some wonderful people through this whole thing and we know each day that we are amoung the few that are truely Blessed.
