We've Reached Five Miles!

Hey! It's me, Dave, writing this post. I'm the Jr. Assistant blogger for Kristen. The head blogger is in a hospital bed holding the fith Miles. Yup that's right! It's been a long road (pun intended), but he is now on the outside.

His name is Joel Philip Miles. He is 8 lbs. 7 ozs. and 21 inches long. And as you'll see he has carried on the family "hair" tradition.

Kristen and baby went through alot. Her labor started at 12:30AM, Monday. Her labor went very well but when she began pushing his heart rate kept dropping and staying low. So they did an emergency "C" section.And it's a good thing. His cord was wrapped arround his neck and his back facing Kristen's back (Not the best direction). But now they are doing great, though Kristen's recovery will be a little slower. He was born at 7:24AM June 2nd.

They should be home Thursday. Thanks for all your prayers! Julie and Alayna are proud big sisters. Julie's been concerned about Mommy and baby. She has alot of questions about Kristen's cut on her tummy. And Alayna just points, touches, and says, "Hi, Baby." I'm not sure she realizes he's coming home with us soon.

Can't wait to show Joel off to every one of you! Oh, and I'm doing fine. Thanks for asking.
