Soon after saying goodbye to Fred and Cathy, Elise and I decided to head to bed. It was Friday, May 22nd around 11:30 pm. Within a few minutes, Elise’s water broke. We gathered our things, and placed two sleeping boys into the van. At one point, Jacob woke up and asked, “Where are we going?” I replied, “To Nonni and Grandpa’s house.” Quietly Jacob stated, “Yay!” before falling back asleep.
We drove to Eden Prairie and transferred the boys to the waiting arms of Elise’s parents, before driving to the hospital in Waconia. We checked in at 1:30 am, and were ushered to a birthing suite. Things progressed nicely and on May 23rd at 9:08 AM, William Michael Werth became the newest addition to our family. He measured 20 inches and weighed 8 lbs, 15.5 oz, which rounded to an official weight of 9 lbs.
Throughout the day, both Elise and William recovered beautifully. Several hours later, after waking from their afternoon nap, Jacob and Henry came to visit their new baby brother, eager to see their little brother and their mama (now with a much smaller tummy!). On Monday everyone will be reunited at home.
Welcome to the family, William!
