Baby Ryan

He made it! Baby Ryan decided to skip his scheduled induction on Friday and start working his way out two days early. He arrived in the middle of the night, and Mom and Dad's immediate reactions were simultaneously: "Wow, he looks so much like Kelsey!". He is healthy and perfect, and we are all completely in love with him! His first day of life was a blur, starting with introductions to Mom and Dad, The Bath,and The Hospital Photo Session. Those crazy people showed up 4 hours after his birth, ready to do a family portrait, catching Mom in a less-than-friendly state of mind. It had been a fairly overwhelming and sleepless past 24 hours, and she told them to GET OUT. But, she admits that the pictures from later in the day turned out well:
This is one of our favorites, because his expression is like a little old man:In the afternoon I got to come to the hospital to meet my new little brother. It was love at first sight. But his cry was very upsetting... and loud!My Aunt Doe and her fiance, Bud, came to the hospital to meet him, too. They stayed at my house for a fun sleepover while Mom and Dad were at the hospital with Ryan. Mom was so happy to see me, and I was thrilled to find her belly deflated, making it easier to cuddle! She said the hardest part of having Baby Ryan was being stuck in the hospital away from me. I made her cry when I said "I missed you alot, and I cried, and I looked for you really hard". I am a sweet girl, and already the best big sister!
