We're Home

After a little delay, we made it home today at around 2:30.



Miles did very well on the car ride home and is adjusting to life in the new surroundings. Now we'll have to wait and see if Mommy and Daddy adjust to not having the night nursery anymore :).

My sister provided a lovely meal this evening and we are looking forward to what tomorrow brings!

Coming Home

After an actually enjoyable stay in the hospital, we will be coming home on Tuesday.

Miles has been doing well, gaining strength, and enjoying getting visited by big brother Graham and a lot more of his immediate family.

We are hoping that the move home will be uneventful and that our final days of remodeling/construction will be completed this week and we can have a few peaceful days at home!

Now if we can all just be as peaceful as Miles in this picture.

We are still trying to figure out who he looks like. I think he looks a lot like his older brother, but he does have some more of Mom's coloring and so his features may lean that way in the long run too. Only time will tell.

Graham has truly fallen in love with his new baby brother. He enjoys holding him, feeding him (although not the whole time) and singing to him.

He tore at our heartstrings yesterday when he said, "Mommy, thank you for my new baby brother". He is going to be a very good big brother.

Miles has arrived!

Miles decided that things still operate on his schedule, so after several weeks of keeping Mom up at night he decided to give us all as surprise and show up 3 weeks early (or 2 weeks from his scheduled date of June 8th).

Caroline's water broke on Friday morning and Miles arrived via C-section at 12:39 pm. He weighed in at a healthy 7 lbs., 4 oz. and was 20 1/2 inches long. After a short stay at the Transitions nursery to get his blood sugar up and his breathing slowed down he has adjusted nicely to our room and the Well Nursery.

He's a bit of a slow eater, but he has been sleeping like a champ (let's hope he keeps that up!).

Graham got to meet Miles today and absolutely loved it. He was very proud of his new brother and sang Miles several songs. He was very excited to be a big brother.

We will be home in a few days and will pass along more updates.

Here's Graham and Caroline at the "Farm" in Louisville earlier this year. Graham loves running around the "Farm", especially when he gets to see the cows and goats and chickens.

Getting Started

With the day approaching for the addition of Miles to the family Caroline, Graham and I wanted to create a space where family and friends far and wide can get updates on how things are going and see pictures and videos of the expanding family.

Look for more updates soon!
