Our newest addition

I guess he isn't so new anymore since he's almost two weeks old, plus I think anyone that reads our blog knows he's here and has seen pictures or met him in person. :) But, I feel the need to commemorate it.

Miles John Knightly was born on November 19th at 9:36 PM weighing 10 pounds and measuring 21.5" long. There was some discrepancy on both his weight and height. The kilogram measurement of his weight converted to 10lbs 2ozs but when they switched the scale to pounds, it showed up as 10lbs 0.06oz. The first is probably more accurate. His length in the hospital was 19.3" but at his newborn doctor's visit he was 21.5". The nurse there said it's very common for the hospital to get the length wrong because they do everything so fast, so I'm going with the more accurate doctor's office measurement.

For those wondering, YES I DID GO NATURAL! Although, it was really more by necessity than choice because he came really fast. We left our house around 7:15 and got to the hospital around 7:45. I don't know what time it was they got me up to L&D, maybe around 9:00? My water broke shortly after we got up there, and by then I was too dilated to get an epidural or any sort of drugs. Thankfully he came super fast--I pushed through three contractions for a total of four minutes. It worked out well because I felt great afterwards and was up and moving around a lot sooner than when I had an epidural with Will.

Anyway, here are some pictures of our new baby boy from when he was first born:
