Mikko arrived at 12:58 on Monday, May 11th. I had to have a planned Cesarean Section because Mikko was Breech and would not move. He was in the pike position with his head up and his feet in front of his face. His butt was down - not the best way to be born, so it was advised, and agreed, that a CSection was the safest. We chose the name Mikko because it was my Mom's (Marlene's) father's name. He was an immigrant from Finland. The middle name "Robert" is for Damon's grandfather.
We did not know if we were having a boy or a girl so it was thrilling to go to the hospital! Most people thought we were having a girl. Having a planned CSection was not what I had ever intended, so not knowing the sex of the baby added some "magic" to the event. If I had another baby (no, there are no plans), I'd defintely not find out again!!
David first meets his new brother.
David brought a toy to the hospital for Mikko to play with.
Arriving home on Thursday
Mikko has dark blue eyes, blond hair. He looks quite a bit like David, but his hair lighter.
He weighed 7 lbs 2 oz at birth. He probably would have weighed 7 lb 3 oz, but peed all over the doctor when he came out!
Playtime for the Lee Boys.
David arrives to take Mikko home from the hospital.
