What a year

January
first week of bedrest, full of fear of the unknown.
February 
brought hope that our baby boy would have a good chance of survival if he came at that time.
March 
stressful, with a few medical setbacks and many trips to the hospital.

April
our baby boy arrived after a long week of failure (see birth story).


Big shout out to Jared for supporting me through 14 1/2 weeks of bedrest. Thank you for every snack, meal, and bottle of water!
 Love you!
Just before the final induction, 40 weeks exactly.
Miles's first moments
and first days.

Gift wrap

Milestone (today!)
-Miles started feeding himself pieces of chicken! (He loves chicken.)

Pictures
Miles has a new favorite place to stand. He loves dropping into my lap and standing back up by the jumparoo.
Playing with his personalized light block.

More interested in toys out of the gift wrap this time.
Simon is also curious what is inside the wrapping paper.
Oooh, box!
Finally got him to tear some paper.
