Just walked in from the hospital!

Such a good big brother!

Had to take a picture of his first little out fit.

My 3 handsome boys.

The look of wonder, Ethan didnt know what to think at first but after a second he was okay with it.
Right after Riley was born, I feel bad that we didnt get a family picture with Ethan but he didnt get to come in to see Riley till the next morning cause they Took Riley for all this checks and things and by the time the brought him back in Layne had gone to get Ethan and put him to bed. But we well get some family pictures here soon. :)
Proud daddy.Proud Mommy. And here is our BRAND NEW BABY RILEY!
He was born at 6:47pm on June 26th 2010.
Weight was 7 lbs 10 oz and 19.5 inches long.
He came out with the blondest of hair and looked totally bald, but there is a little hair there. :)
Layne relaxing while I do all the hard work. ;)
Labor went well no complications with the babe or with me, other then I was an idiot and forgot to preregister at the hospital and on top of that Saturday I wasnt planning on having a baby! I was going to take Ethan to the pool and then my friend calls to see if you can take Ethan to play at the park with her kids! So I totally was fine with that, so she came and got him I got some things done and then went to relax down at the pool! Well thats when they started... After a while I got a call from Layne and he was so sick he couldnt even drive... He said that he was dizzy and couldnt see.. So i had to go find him to bring him home while having contractions, I thought great we are both going to be in the hospital!! Well we got home and my friend said she would keep Ethan and we came home I got showered did my hair, put my make up on... Just to make sure it was REAL labor! Well of course when I get there Im about ready to get Hostile on people (Layne), and because i didnt get registered they were not able to give me ANYTHING for the pain... all I could think was man those tough pioneer women...
Well when the Nurse checked me she said that I was a 6 and that I should have been in there an hour ago... So of course I go, well your not sending me home right!? She laughed and said "OH Heavens NO, Doll your having a baby today!"
So I had to sit and wait for an hour and a half before they could give me anything for the pain.
After they did I got my heaven on earth and things went quickly after that, I only had to push 3 times and he was here!! healthy and strong!
So now we are living a life with 2 kids in Houston and we are enjoying the addition. Im so thankful he is such a good eater and sleeper!
I cant wait to come home at the end of July to see everyone and to show off my cute little boys! :) Thanks to everyone for your help and your well wishes! we love and are so blessed to have you in our lives!
