Verity Arrives

Verity was born February 22nd, 2019, at 10:28PM. She weighed 7 pounds, 14 ounces, and was 20 inches tall. The week of February 18th didn't start out looking like it would be too eventful. Kim still had a couple weeks before her official due date, and we were in no hurry to get the baby out, because although Kim has always been excited to be done with those last weeks of pregnancy, we found out that our primary OB/GYN was going on vacation for the next weekend. Kim was still newly recovered from an ankle break in October, and had had a number of other minor pregnancy complications to deal with, so we figured we had the issues out of the way and had a week or two to relax and prep for the delivery. As it turns out, the baby was not going to cooperate with that schedule.

Verity Fae Turned One!

It's been almost a month since our sweet little Veri Bean celebrated her first birthday. It was a whirlwind of a week, full of wonderful family, decorating, sewing, and savoring the last days of her tiniest. I know realistically nothing really changes between day 364 on this earth and 366, and yet it felt like a giant mountain we were about to summit, and see in full view, but have to cross to the other side, leaving the climb behind. Knowing that Verity is out last and final baby, it was bittersweet to say the least. I cannot say enough wonderful things about our beautiful daughter. A great friend of mine (Megan Brothers), said to me once upon a chat, "How did we live so long without her?" It's exactly how I feel. Every single day. She is joy in it's entirety. She has the sweetest disposition, is very watchful and observant and loves to be a jokester too. I shared this to my social media platforms the day after her birthday, Feb. 23rd this year... Verity
