Wyatt Sohl Brother Howe

He was born on Feb 27, 2008 at 2:51am
Weighing 9lbs 4oz (big guy)
Measuring 21 1/2 inches long.

Lily's water broke at 10:30pm on the 25th, we went to the hospital at 4am on the 26th, Lily started pushing around 11:30pm that night, and after a long, courageous three hours, our son was born (without needing a C-Section!).

Both mom and baby are doing great!

And yes, his middle name is Sohl Brother (we had Brother first -- my brothers have a band called Brother Howe and we also want to raise our son to be a brother to everyone -- and Sohl is Korean for "Evergreen" (because no matter which season it is, an Evergreen tree remains consistent), which Lily's parents came up with.

That is it for now. Just trying to get rested.

Jeremy, Lily, and Wyatt

Water! Breaking! Hospital! Waiting!

So Lily's water broke last night at 10:30. We rested and came to the hospital at 4am. Lily got an epidural around 10:30am, and at noon, the Dr. said Lily had only dilated 1.5 centimeters (you need to be 10 so you can push babies out). So now, we wait (until probably 8 or 9pm tonight, with a slight chance of C-Section).

In the meantime, please enjoy these photos of our hospital room with view.


Our View.














The top chart is our baby, but I don't know what that means. The bottom chart (the roller coaster looking one) is Lily's contractions, which she can't feel because of the epidural.

The couch next to Lily is where Jeremy sleeps.

One More Week?

We have one more week until our due date, but who knows when this little guy will arrive. Until then, please enjoy a video from Lily's Point of View. And if you can guess the movie that's playing in the background, you get 10 extra bonus points.

Getting There

Not too much to report, other than we're less than four weeks away from our due date (Feb 24). Lily's doing well, and so is the baby. We have an appointment on Friday, so we'll keep you posted.

Belly

This is Lily's belly. It's big.

Baby Shower

"Opening" the gift from Michigan. It wasn't wrapped, so we faked it for you. Thanks again.

Welcome

Hey everyone, this is our blog. Figured it's the best way to show you all us now before the baby, and to keep you updated after the baby comes. I'm going to try to post some videos of the baby shower, if I can figure it out.
