Where has my brain gone?

I have been so caught up in baby stuff that I failed to mention my smart hubby... he is now a master of Organizational Psychology. Well - pretty much - he still has to take his comp exam in February, but he will pass it for sure. I am so proud of him. We are moving Brea, CA so he can start working for B of A. I am looking forward to being in warmer weather and being close to family. My family is pretty excited,too - not for us to be there, but to have baby Ry so close. I don't blame them - he is a cutie.

Merry Christmas!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful Christmas season! It hasn't quite yet felt like Christmas with all of the changes we have had this last month, but it still a wonderful time of year. Two weeks after Ry-guy was born we packed up all of our stuff and put it on a truck to CA! It was a crazy time, but we are happy to be back on the West Coast. We will miss all of our wonderful friends back in NYC though - I cna't believe that our time there is over! Even though I complained - a lot - I will look back on our time there with fondness. Ryan is getting so big and is as cute as ever! At his 2 week check up he was already almost 10 pounds... where did this kid come from? He is holding up his head and working on his smile - I love seeing his little dimple!Enjoy the many pictures - I couldn't decide which ones to post. Also among the changes - I got new hair! Short and dark... I guess since so much else was changing, why not me too :).

I wish that this could really happen!

One Week Old

It has been almost exactly one week since sweet Ryan was born and I am finally coherent enough to type. My mom just left this morning, so Brett and I are on our own! It seems so surreal. It was so wonderful to have my mom here! We are going to miss having her around. For those of you who don't know the whole story about how baby Ryan came - here is a brief version: I went in to be induced on Nov. 30th at 5am. By 12:00 pm the next day... only 30 hours later, the doctor came in and said that things weren't changing and suggested a c-section. I kinda felt like that was coming, but I was still pretty scared. But it would get him here, so they took me in within the next 15 minutes and Ryan was out by 12:38 pm. He was 8 lbs. 12 oz! We were really suprised how big he was - he was pretty much half of the prenancy weight I had gained! The first thing that Brett said was that he looked like a little Ron (my dad). We are not sure anymore quite who he looks like, but all we know is that he is a cutie patootie It is such a blessing to have him in our lives. He has such a sweet spirit. We are excited to be his parents!

Welcome home baby Ryan!
