Nana saved us during the 1st week of Nathan's life. To say that she kept the Walker household going is an understatement! Not only did she keep Helen on schedule while we were in the hospital, but she made huge & delicious meals for us every night. She also went back and forth to the grocery store to fetch me very high calorie and high fat foods (think cream cheese cakes, cheese dip, and all things drenched in butter.) If you've just delivered a baby, you deserve to eat exactly what you want!! She cleaned the kitchen every night and even took a few night shifts with sweet Nathan when he decided that sleep can only happen while he is being held. Truly, I don't know what we would have done without her!
Nathan had his first doctor's appt on Friday, 10/23. He had gained almost back to his birth weight thanks to his demading to be nursed every 2 hours exactly. Helen also got checked while we were there thanks to a massive amount of snot that presented itself 1 day after Nathan was born. 2nd children never have a chance to stay germ free!!
Nana kept a big smile throughout her week of servitude! PaPaw came up for his share of baby holding, too!
