Benjamin Ryan


We've got Ben! Holy crap that labor was hard! When I get a chance I'll maybe describe what it was like, you know me- I'm honest about the pregnancy stuff, and that was not fun. Although COMPLETELY worth it when he made his first cry and I got to hold him! I was so delirious and out of it that I don't remember a lot of it except for the pain and the HOURS of labor (11 or 12) and then getting him out. I think Heavenly Father made it that way for me so that I wont really remember the next time!
He was born at 4:30pm March 3rd, 2008. He was 6 lbs 14 ozs and 19 1/2 inches long. I think he's a pretty cute little newborn, of course I am biased. He's got long eye lashes and is just a cutie. He's got a pretty full head of hair, believe it or not- it's even almost in a natural Mohawk! I am in love with my little man and feel so blessed to have such a beautiful little person to take care of that me and the man I love created together. I'm glad the pregnancy and birth are over- now we're on to a whole new way of life and new set of challenges!

Oh he is just beautiful!!! I'm VERY anxious for more pictures and stories. :) Isn't it just the most beautiful thing ever?! Well... not the delivery part... But the holding that little precious angel part. And I think you are right - everything for me is super blurry and I am SO glad it's that way! Or else I'd probably never have another! Ha!
