Welcome Little Crawford


We welcomed Crawford Dill Pittman into our family last week. He was born on Tuesday, January 15th at 12:02pm. He weighed 7 lbs 8oz and was 19 inches long. He has already captured our hearts.


As many of you know, I was trying to have a natural delivery. After 12 long hours of labor our doctor informed us that labor was regressing and recommended we proceed with an epidural. Several hours later, our little one's heart rate started to drop and I had to have a C-Setion. Although it was not the delivery I dreamed of, the end result is just the same. We were so happy when the doctor said..."It's a Boy!"


I would not have made it through that long labor without my three coaches - Greer, my sister Laura and my doula Jessie. They did an amazing job getting me through some pretty strong labor pains and consecutive close contractions.

Crawford is a precious little boy. He looks a lot like his daddy. His eyes even get swollen when he is tired. He sleeps well and loves to eat. He surpassed his birth weight within 3 days of leaving the hospital. The doctor was amazed and Greer was quite proud.

We hope you enjoy keeping up with our family. We will try to keep you posted as our little one grows!
