I am incredibly happy this weekend. On Friday, we celebrated the safe arrival of Aiden Riley Wilhelmsen. He was born on Friday, February 8th at 9:55 pm. Aiden weighed 7 lbs, 15.3 oz and was 19 inches long at birth. He has been passing his various tests, from sugar levels to hearing, and seems to be very healthy. We were released from the hospital around 12:30 today and are attempting to rest comfortably at home.
Erin and I both are amazed with the powerful feelings of love we immediately feel toward our little one. It is truly more than you can prepare for, and that love instantly binds you as a family. As I write this post, Erin is trying to sleep (on her stomach [yay!] – in our room) and Aiden is sleeping here by our computers. I have some work that needs to be complete for tomorrow, and I had better get on that.
I realize that if anyone had looked at my blog for the last nine months, they would have no idea that Erin had been pregnant. I could attribute my lack of posts to sloth, but I’ll simply pretend it was intentional. I’ll write frequently when we are pregnant next time, and compare and contrast the two. It will make for better prose. :)
