I told you there would be more pictures coming, and here they are!! It's taken me a little longer to get to them but it seems that newborns take up a lot of your time. If you're not taking care of them, you're trying to get caught up on some much treasured sleep!! I'm not at all surprised by any of this, you hear it from everyone you know that has or had a newborn. It's just that when it's your turn, you actually get to experience what you've always heard. But in all honesty, Ryan has been great!! Although his days and nights are somewhat mixed up, he's not been any trouble at all. If he's not eating he's sleeping. And if he's not eating or sleeping, he's pooping and peeing! Lately his awake time has been increasing. He's very alert and spends alot of time looking around taking in his surroundings. We couldn't be happier!! But I must say that when it comes to changing diapers on a little boy...well...lets just say that the water works can be entertaining...hehe! For the record, Mommy has been hit more than Daddy, but Daddy tends to be the victim of the soak through due to a leaky diaper. We'll remind him of this someday I'm sure. That's it for now...enjoy the pics of our little gift from God!!
Just before leaving for the hospital.
Nine month profile.
Yes I did...I'm playing electronic solitaire while my wife breathes through a contraction!!
I did get a little tired and bored, so I took a spin around the room on the doctors stool. :o)
Preparing to head to the operating room for the C-section. Now lets see...where do these go?

Ahh! That bath stuff ain't so bad after all!
I hope his face straightens out!
