Westin has arrived!

Friday morning came fast and crazy. I was back in Wahpeton at home sound asleep and my phone rings. I heard the last ring, but before I could grab it the call ended. It was my beautiful wife Heather calling and telling me that she thinks her water broke. At 6:30 in the morning so i had to move fast being 3 plus hours away from the hospital. Westin sure didn't want to wait any longer! I had a lot to do in a short amount of time. I got up got our dogs ready, got everything loaded up and took off for Minneapolis.

While driving I made and received many calls from Mama Rood to keep me up on how things where going with Heather. Things were okay as the doctors verified that her water did break. So as I drive I thought about how real the day was. It's not the norm when you go to bed not thinking about how your life can change over night.

So finally I got to Abbott to get the scrubs on. I finally figured out why Mama Rood told me to take my time. She had scrubs on to and wanted to be by Heathers side. That's why she is such a good Mom. So finally at around 1:35 p.m. On Friday the 13th our son was born.

Westin Wayne Wiberg arrived ...at 8lbs. 4 oz. His length was 20 inches and head and weight were in the 94%.

P.S.

I just wanted to take this time on here to let you know how amazing my wife Heather is... I don't think many of you realize all that she has gone through to get to this day. She surprises me every day with her strength, love, and support. Every day that I get to spend with her makes me want to be a better person and husband and I cherish everyday that I get to be with her. This may end up being a journey, but there is nobody in the world I would want to go on that journey with than my wife Heather. I have no doubt in my mind that she will make an amazing mom for Westin. I'm so proud of her.

Here was pretty much the 1st photo I got of him after C-section:
