London Faith Weldon arrived on Sunday at 3:23pm - October 12th, 2014 weighing 5lbs 5 oz and 18 1/2" long. Due to a knot in her umbilical cord and it being wrapped around her neck and stomach along with little fluid in mommy's belly she needed to come right away. Mom felt a big change in London's movement on Saturday and it was fast change from an active lady on Friday to nothing.....Mom called the doctor on Sunday morning and went to the hospital to get it checked out. After a few test and dad joined mom's side it was a decision that London needed to come and the Weldon family would grow that day. London came in with a great scream and has showed us her strong lady style ever since. There has been some hurtles but this lady just was not ready to enter the world yet and so she is fighting to come in the way she wants ;) Mom is staying at the hospital while she gets ready to come home with lots of visits from dad and Duke - who always bring great brightness and laughter to the day!
Take a look at some good times we had prior to Baby's arrival and some great moments we have shared as a family of 4!
