        baby's heartbeat was hard to monitor if she laid on her left side, a
        determined Beth stated that she preferred to just lay on her right side
        continually. (Beth would later attribute Harley's definite preference to
        sleep cuddled close to her as she laid on her right side to this labor
        room experience.)

           Family waited close by to welcome Harley who weighed 7 lbs.
        9.75 oz. upon his joyous arrival. Everyone remarked, as they took
        photos of the newborn, that he was so incredibly wide awake and alert
        so soon after his delivery.

           Beth, who hadn't eaten all day, was thrilled when she discovered
        that her nephew, Doug, had brought her a Whataburger. She remarked
        that   it   tasted   amazing   even   though   slightly   cold.   Undeniably,
        Whataburger fast food would become a permanent on-going craving
        of the Fetterman family.
