Miles Stanley born March 31, 2009 at 2:43 AM Mckay-Dee Hospital
He weighed 7 lbs. 13 oz. and was 20 inches long at birth
We arrived at the hospital around 11:30 that night and from there everything happened very quickly! The nurse was suprised at how quickly things progressed and our doc barely made it in time. He was healthy and very alert and wanted to stay awake through the night. Needless to say mom and dad got zero sleep and are still adjusting.

He is a very good baby and hardly ever cries unless he is getting his diaper changed. Watch out if you ever have that job--he has pooped and peed on his parents at least half a dozen times in the 5 days he has been home.

He had jaundice that progressed until Friday and we had to put him in a "billibed" around the clock-- it looks like a miniature tanning bed. We were really worried he would hate it, but he just laid in there with his baby goggles and snoozed under the warm lights. Thankfully, his last billiruben test for jaundice showed good progress and he doesn't have to lay in the bed anymore.

Last night he only woke up 3 times and I can't describe how much better I (Allison) feel today. Drew is back at work and bummed to not be here with Miles. He is already growing like a weed and is 8 lbs. 3 oz. at just under a week old. His little stump already fell off and he has an outie belly button like his mom. Other than that he looks like a mini version of his dad.

Here are some pics so far:

Yay for epidurals!

Still blue-- dad

and still a little blue baby

Finally got to hold him after they cleaned out his lungs.

Just like dad :)

On a break from the Billibed (in the background) I make this face a lot

Feed me!

Already thinking...
