The 1st 2 months of Wills' life (July & August '07)

So they say (whoever "they" is, he/she really is right a lot) that motherhood is a full-time job. I tend to think that's an understatement. I'm just glad that I love him so much, or we could have run into a problem. :)

Wills' life (a quick synopsis thus far)... the 1st 11 months

We'll start with Wills. Born July 9, 2007. A hefty 10lbs. 11oz. For those of you who don't know anything about birth weights, trust me, he was big. I couldn't be more grateful for the last minute c-section! :) Anyway, here are a few pics of the last 11 months. I can't believe how this first year has flown. Everyone always says it will, but no one can ever prepare you for how fast. So, an ode to the last 11 months... (following in the next few posts)

July 9, 2007 - The arrival of Wills

So after a long day of labor, I finally had a c-section. If I'd known how big he was going to be, I would have begged for a c-section, so it all worked out. And there he was... all 10lbs 11oz & 22 1/2 inches of him (no, there are no typos in those numbers). And we fell immediately and completely in love...
