We are proud to announce the arrival of Diana Louise Walcott
b. March 14, 2012 8:03a.m
6 lbs.14 oz and 21 in. long
She was born perfectly healthy with the regular 10 fingers and 10 toes required:) She, however, was born with some extra tissue under her tongue causing her to be tongue tied. (after having Marcy maybe this isn't such a bad thing:)) We decided to have the procedure to clip this tissue in the hospital and now she will be able to lick ice cream cones, walls, or toys--whatever requires her tongue to be able to leave her mouth. Joey also had to have this procedure done but he was a 10 yr old and mourned many a non-licked ice-cream cone so he wanted her to have it done right away:) Procedure called a frenulectomy. Cool name for a three and a half second procedure.
Thanks to everyone for the well wishes, cards, calls, gifts etc... We are finally settled in at home and have already had doctors check-ups. Diana already weighs 7 lbs 15 oz. The frenulectomy doesn't seem to have slowed her down! Marcy is doing allright with this little life changing blob known as a little sister. She calls her Di-na-na-na-na-na-na usually stringing 5-7 na's at the end. Her main job is throwing away the mountain of dirty diaper Diana produces and she takes it very seriously:) So here is a huge dump of pictures from the hospital up until this past weekend--it is CRAZY how quickly Diana has changed in only three weeks of life! We praise God for a healthy little girl who is, at this rate, going to catch up with Marcy by fall!
Marcy loves to talk on the phone:)
