Grandparents View of Wyatt

May 21, 2009

He have been expecting it for two weeks. Finally, Mat and Andi told us that the doctors decided that their baby would be induced on Thursday, May 21, 2009 - if he didn't come before then. Oh how we had to plan.

Mar and Brea went to Mat and Andi's house on Wednesday night. Mat and Andi went to the hospital that night, so Mar and Brea were the baby sitters. There job was to get Andrew and Mylie off to school. Andrew was no problem, a piece of cake. But Mylie went to school a little bit later. So the plan was that Breanne would drop Mar off at the hospital so she could be there when the baby was born, and then drive Mylie to pre-school and then go back to the hospital. It worked out just like that, except the baby didn't wait. he came two minutes before Mar got there. Mar was still very happy - did I say very happy - overjoyed. Wondrously thrilled. He is just perfect.

His name is Wyatt Wilson Stones. He is 7 pounds 7 ounces. He is 20 inches long. He is beautiful and healthy and considerate. He did not beat up his mother too bad on his trip out.

Mar and Brea had to make a dash for home all too soon (see the previous entry), but Mar took me down in the evening to meet the little tyke. Did I say he was beautiful. Also he is very small - tiny. You forget how little they are when the older brothers and sisters and cousins are about.

Well, we are happy - and I think that because of Wyatt, the world is definitely a better place. Well done Mat and Andi. Bravo.
