Long time no talk!!!

Ok, so I know I'm a terrible blogger! I just realized that I have not blogged since March 2009. Sooo much has happened since then. Two months after my last blog, Will and I found out that we were pregnant with our first child, William Garrard Ulmer II. He was born Jan. 5, 2010. What a blessing he has been. His original due date was Jan. 14th...Thank goodness they induced me because he weighed in at a whopping 9lbs 6oz. I had an easy pregnancy besides all the swelling I had. The labor and delivery was a breeze. We left the hospital on the 6th and on the 8th I went back in with postpartum cardiomyopathy which is basically congestive heart failure brought on by having a baby. My heart was only functioning 25% (very scary). I stayed in the hospital for almost a week and was finally able to go home to my baby boy. Little Will was such a wonderful baby. He slept good and ate good. He was very laid back and went with the flow. In April I went to see my heart doctor and at that time my heart was functioning 45% which was awesome news. A normal heart functions anywhere from 50% and above. In July we headed to the beach with my family. We had the best time and cant wait til we do it again. Little Will was 6 months old and he liked the water pretty good. He slept most of the time. In September football started and Little Will got to experience his first MSU football game. He did great and went to just about all of the games. He was such a trooper. We tailgated all day and then attended all of the night games. We just recently celebrated his 1st birthday...I cant believe how fast the year went by. Little Will is all over the board these days. He is not walking quiet yet but just about. He loves to play and loves his momma and dada. Will and I are so thankful that God chose us to be Little Will's parents and our pray is that Little Will grows up to be a strong christian man.
Here are some pictures from this past year!
