He’s here!!!
Miles Keith was born April 15 2008 at 12:45pm. He was 2 weeks early and I was starting to think that maybe he’d never come and I’d be taking him to kindergarten while still inside of me.
After 30 hours of labor and 3 hours of pushing he was delivered by c-section. He’s perfect, 10 fingers, 10 toes, a head full of dark brown hair. He’s a great eater and sleeper already and the biggest problem his mommy and daddy seem to have is arguing over who gets to hold him.
Miles had to spend some time under the tanning lights in the hospital due to jaundice and I’ve had some c-section complications but things are still going pretty well.
Here’s a picture of my new little guy. I hope you all understand why I might not be around as much as I used to.
Update: OK, I’m trying to post a picture but I’m having some technical difficulties. I’ll have one up as soon as I can.

Congratulations!! Can’t wait to see pictures. And hugs on all the labor.
Our little guy needed the jaundice lights, too. He got over it pretty quick.
Enjoy those new baby snuggles!

Awww, Emma! Congratulations! I’ve been wondering why we didn’t see any announcement at PI yet and came looking for you — and here you are!
I had 24 hours of labor with my first one before a C-section, too — sux, doesn’t it? But I didn’t care — I was so damn tired, I just about cried with relief when I figured out I wasn’t going to have to push. And then he had to go back to the hospital to spend some time under the lights for jaundice, too. That first one is always so traumatic!
