He's here!!

With very thankful hearts, we are proud to announce the birth of our son, 

Miles Jonathan Arnold 
Born on April 21, 2012 @6:22AM 
8 lbs 1 oz. 21 inches long 

Both Miles and Stef are doing great! 
Labor began around 1am, but wasn't taken seriously until the water broke 
around 3:40AM. We headed to the hospital and got admitted at 7 CM's
and fully effaced - labor was very intense, but
pushing began about an hour after we were admitted. 
It all happened fast, but went smooth and everyone is happy and healthy :)

His name:
Miles, for being the first family member born 'miles' away from 
where we were all born, in California. 
Miles also means strong soldier and we felt after 3 miscarriages, 
God made this little guy very strong for us. 
Jonathan means 'God has given' and is also a family name on 
Stef's side. He is named after her Uncle Jon and cousin Jonathan.

Welcome to the world, sweet little baby Miles! What a gift and joy you are to your family!
Stef, congratulations. What bliss.
And hey, did he end up being your fourth baby born ON their due date?! Insane, girl. And was he the same size as the others??
I find God to be very humorous sometimes. :)
Hugs and salutations.
