Afton Murphy Willander is finally here!!




It was a long and sometimes painful 26 hours but at 9:45PM on Thursday the 12th of June Afton made his way out into the world. He was perfectly healthy with apgar scores of 8, and 9. He weighed 6lb 2 oz and was 19.5 inches long. Both him and mommy were happy to have the laboring portion to be over. Afton enjoys eating, sleeping, and sleeping. As far as mommy goes she is doing good as well. A bit tired, a bit sore, but other than the expected she is doing fantastic. Dad is doing well to. Besides the severe back trauma I received while sleeping in the fake leather chair I am doing good. It is expected that we will get to go home some time tomorrow meaning Saturday, and we are ready for that. It is a constant line it seems of nurses coming in and out, doctors checking Aislinn. and Afton but I know they are just doing there job. One cool thing is that there is 24 hour room service here and the menu is not to bad. Well I will keepeveryoneposted with the latest news and pictures so stay tuned.
