Finally the day had arrived when Miles was scheduled to be born via c-section. Early in the morning we started preparing and Grandma Becky arrived around 8:30 A.M. to our house to watch the girls while Ronnie and I left for the hospital. We arrived at Northwest Medical Center in Bentonville around 10:00 A.M. We had to register and then waited around for 2 1/2 hours for our doctor to arrive. We were scheduled at noon, however the doc was late! Miles finally arrived at 1:02 P.M. via cesarean section. He weighed 7 lbs 1 oz., measuring 19 1/2 inches long. He was perfect! Ronnie went to the nursery with Miles while I recovered for an hour. I finally got to hold my sweet baby boy after that. I remember I was sort of "out of it" from the medicine, so I don't even remember holding him for the first time. Grandma Becky was there with the girls, along with Grandma Rhonda and Pepa. I felt bad as they had to wait a long time for Miles to get here.
We spent Monday, the day of his birth, through Wednesday at the hospital and got to go home Wednesday afternoon. The girls stayed with Grandma Becky at her hotel during that time and got to go swimming and also played at our house during some of that time. Our neighbor, Mrs. Linda, also came by to visit us at the hospital.
I have to say, everything went very smooth, except for the actual c-section in which I felt very sick during the surgery. But it was all worth it when the little guy arrived! The last picture is of him when we came home from the hospital. He wore a little white outfit my aunt Susie had bought him. The first few days after we got home were rough. Miles had difficulty nursing and I was exhausted! But we made it through it all. We are so blessed to have Miles in our lives! He's the best :)
