Preston Erwin Waite

After 41 weeks of pregnancy and 12 agonizing hours in labor Preston Erwin Waite finally made his big debut into the world at 8:52 a.m. on Tuesday August 21, 2007. Everything went considerably well and painless (thanks to my anesthesiologist) and Preston and I are both doing great. Both my parents and Andy's parents were there to keep me company while we waited which was reassuring and helped to make the time pass by. At birth Preston weighed 7 pounds 14 ounces and was 21 inches long. He was fortunate enough to get his dads good looks and is the sweetest baby in the world. He has dark hair, blue eyes, and the longest little feet and hands I have ever seen on a baby. He's also quite the eater. Within minutes of being born he was ready to eat and picked it up instantly. It's been interesting getting used to having a newborn in the house again. It's amazing how much you forget in just a year and a half. I've definitely had to relearn how to do a few things but it seems to be coming back pretty quickly. I feel so blessed to have such a sweet baby boy. He is the perfect addition to our family and I can't wait to see what great things come from him in the future.
