Before and After.
Britt's sigh of relief here... my feet are back!
The transition to motherhood has been quite an adjustment for me. Things seem to get better day by day and I was very happy when at our two week check-up, Abby weighed 6lbs. 8oz. --Quite a jump from her birth weight of 5lbs. 13oz.
This was Dan's innovative way to hold Abby's head in place in the car seat. I'm happy to say we've since gotten a smaller head prop device.
This picture displays our efforts to wake Abby up for feeding time. We wet a paper towel with cold water and put it on her head. It usually doesn't work. Abby is still seriously confused about when daytime is, i.e. primary wake time, and when nighttime is, i.e. primary sleep time.
We sure love our little girl and are very grateful that she made it here safely.
Meet Daniel and Brittany
The challenge that began with "Have a nice life, Daniel Burton" is progressing with favorable results. Surviving and thriving on lively discussions about books, Abby, or the post-grad school world, the Burtons show signs of excellent health and familial success.
Dan and Britt met on a hot July 4th in 2005. Shortly after inviting her to join him for a panoramic view of the Independence Day fireworks, and not long after her denial, Daniel and Britt agreed to break the ice over ice cream. They soon realized that they were both book geeks, decided a permanent union was worth evaluating, and were married just over a year later on another beautiful July day.
After graduating with a law degree from both he and Brittany's alma mater's rival, Daniel is corporate counsel at the Woodbury Corporation, a commercial real estate management and development company in Salt Lake City. Meanwhile, and far more interestingly, Brittany is raising a new generation of Burtons as full-time mother and family creative director. Abby is two and a half, and #2 is on the way, with arrival expected in late June of 2011. The Burtons look forward to many years of exploring canyons, creeks, and mountain tops, swapping novels, notes, and ideas, and enjoying great discussions about people, politics, and their family.
Daniel and Brittany are both graduates of the 2002 class of Brigham Young University. Abby is gunning to graduate from diapers, sooner than later.
We sure love our little girl and are very grateful that she made it here safely.
