Welcome to the World

Miles Christopher was born late Wednesday night. He weighed 8 lbs, 3 oz. and measured 21 inches long.


We're all so happy he's finally here! I'll elaborate on his journey into the world later. Right now I need a nap.

20 Wisecracks:

Wow Melissa! I wish I looked that good after giving birth! Miles is looking pretty good too. What a sweetie!

Jess said...

Congratulations! I look forward to hearing more about your cute little baby. Until then, get as much sleep as you can!

allyn said...

that is such a sweet little face. from what i can see anyway. i am bummed that i can't hold him while he is still tiny. you do look amazingly refreshed. i always feel refreshed after giving birth. congrats to your whole family!!!!

Tammy and Alvin said...

Cute name. He looks like he has the perfect head shape. What great pics! Good luck adjusting to 3.

Kimberly said...

Wheee!!!!!! You guys are great at naming kids. Also, whenever I have another round of kids (never gonna) I want you to tell me how you look awesome in a hospital bed. Congratulations! I promise I'm sending your present...........

Erik said...

Yippee! If #2 had been a boy, we would have named him Miles. Great minds, huh. Congrats and get as much sleep as you can!

Andrea Lee U.R. said...

yeeehaw!!! It is always a good day (no matter how painful it may be) when that baby finally comes out.
Hope it all went well!!

Lindsay said...

Congrats!!!! He is so adorable, and you look amazing!

Brian and I definitely agree that Miles is a great name...seeing as though it's holding a spot in the top 2 (1 for me, 2 for Brian) for what we're going to name our own little guy (only five more weeks)! Good thing we're not the only Mormons in medical school anymore - otherwise it'd be pretty weird to have the same name!!!

Hope you're feeling great!

Uno Kidney said...

Congrats! He is darling. You look great. I heart little tiny babies.

Katy said...

oh, you pretty, pretty people! What a sweet little guy! I love puffy baby faces right after they're born. You look beautiful. Your present will be presented to you presently.
