Baby Miles


Well, now that I can finally get up the stairs again, it is time to show off my beautiful baby boy, Miles Burton Wanberg. He was "yanked into the world," as John puts it, on August 27th at 11:36 am. He weighed 8 lbs. 4 oz., and had a huge noggin (14.5 inches circumference). He is adorable! He looks just like a miniature John. He is a good baby, but is not shy about screaming LOUDLY when he is in need of assistance. We are so excited to have our new little man, and are learning to adjust to two babies at home. Eden has done pretty well accepting her baby brother. She keeps walking over to his bouncy chair and saying, "Hey, dude," or "Hey broth'a."(mimicking mom and dad).

Char and Miles in Recovery

Miles at Two Weeks



My recovery this time has been rougher than it was with Eden. My incision actually opened up on the day we came home from the hospital. (I'll spare you the pictures my wound care nurse took.) But thanks to family, friends, and my home care nurse Angela, I am doing much better...almost completely healed. A BIG THANKS to my two moms, my sis-in-love Emily, my dad, Liz and Johnny for taking good care of Eden and me while I was unable to do much.

Wow Charlotte, you look really good after just giving birth (or being yanked on). With all of my babies, I have huge dark circles under my eyes. You look fabulous! Miles is such a cute name, I guess to go along with such a cute baby! Congratulations on you new addition. I'm glad that you are finally on the mend. I'm sure that must be very hard.

Congratulations! I have been checking often to see pics of the new baby. I didn't want to say anything until I knew all was safe and sound. He is adorable, and I agree with Jen that you look GREAT post delivery! Glad everything is going well with your cute family!

He is so sweet! I'm so glad to finally see pictures. I heard he was at church Sunday but I missed you! So sorry to hear about your rough recovery, please let me know if there is anything I can do. We need to have Eden over for a play date, please let me know when it will work and we'll take her for a few hours.
