Last Thursday Jamie told my parents that Laura went to the hospital the night before because her water broke so we were expecting a baby within 24 hours. Well apparently, that was not happening and Laura was going to stay on hospital bed rest and monitoring for two weeks if they could to give the baby some more time. His due date was June 22, the first day of Summer. His sister was born on the first day of Fall and it would have been fun to have him born on his due date. Late in the morning on Tuesday Jamie said the baby's heart rate was changing so they were going to induce her. I was really hoping he would come on the 16th like Baylor and myself but he waited until the 17th at 5 am. 4 lbs 9 oz he is a wee baby but with a big name. Hubbard McGinnis Miller. I don't know where Hubbard came from but will find out this summer when we go up there. McGinnis is Jamie and my dad's middle name and if I would have had another son, it would have been his middle name as well.
Though tiny, he is mighty and never had to go to the NICU. And by tiny his head is not much bigger than a pack of crackers!
He looks like a doll in her arms. I went online and ordered some preemie clothes to be sent to him because even newborn clothes start at 6 lbs!
They said Presley was obsessed with her little brother, at least for now. She and her brother are about the same age gap and Jamie and myself. Close enough to play but apart enough to have their own interests and friends. So happy he arrived safe and strong.
