Merry Christmas

For William's first Christmas we wanted to start our own family traditions. Our first tradition is to spend the day at our house opening gifts. We also went to church (Will did not sleep, of course, but was very good) and had a wonderful dinner. After opening his stocking in the morning and going to church Will took a two and half hour nap. Once he woke up and had something to eat it was time to open presents (this is probably the only year he will be able to wait and open presents at 3:30 in the afternoon). He wasn't too sure of the wrapping paper on the gifts, but he sat with us as each of his and our presents were opened. We now have many of the presents under the tree and he walks over to them and decides what he wants to play with - a toy box for Will under the tree!

Welcoming William

On Saturday, Mach 1, 2008 William entered the world. Will was born at Riverside Hospital at 5:25pm. He weighed 7lbs. 14oz. and was 21 inches long. During the month of February, Mimi was scheduled to be induced at least one time due to pregnancy induced high blood pressure. We both wanted Will to be born naturally and luckily our visit to the doctor on February 28 proved that we could go up to his due date of March 5 without being induced. On Friday, February 29, Michael Bailey, a college friend of Michael's, and his sister, Laura, came to visit. That night we went to bed later than usual and woke up at 5am realizingt it was time to head to the hospital. By 3:10 that afternoon Mimi was starting to push and by 5:25 Will was born; a happy and healthy baby! The nurses and doctor were wonderful during our 12 hours in the labor and delivery room; checking on both Mom & Dad to make sure we were both okay.Visiting family members and friends made the hospital stay easier!
