Happy Birthday Benjamin Robert Wilke!

It’s the happiest day of our life – your finally here

Mommy’s water broke at 7:30 a.m. Daddy was about to go to work, leaned down to
kiss me – I tried to get up and my water broke. We went to the hospital, after we stopped
at Starbucks for coffee and a donut for daddy. Mommy labored for 15 hours. You had an
arrhythmia in your heart. After I dilated to a 9 and stayed there for 2 ½ hours the doctor
decided to take you by cesarean section at 10:30 p.m. We were so happy – we were
worried about you and just wanted you to be born so we could make sure you were ok.
You weighed 8 lbs, 6 ounces and were 21 ½ inches long.

June 20 Met your Gramma for the first time. She came to the hospital when mommy was in labor and Stayed until after you were born and she was able to see you.

June 21 Met your Papa for the first time. Papa was working when Mommy went into labor, but He came to the hospital the next day to see you
