First Bath

Well I guess this is going to be the first of many firsts so here goes!  We have been waiting for what seems like forever for River's umbilical stump to fall off so he could have his first bath and it finally happened.  So on Saturday night River had his first bath but needless to say he did not like it at all.  I think it will just take a while for him to get adjusted to taking a bath.  He had another one last night and he liked it a little better that time.  So here are the pictures I know you are waiting for!

Twitter

For a long time I said that I would never, ever sign up for a Twitter account because I couldn't keep my Facebook status updated, much less Twitter! Well a couple of weeks ago I just decided to jump on the Twitter bandwagon and I signed up for an account! Now I am totally addicted!!! Although most of my posts are about River, I will say that I am keeping up with it pretty well. So if any of you are on Twitter my name is KateMG07 if you want to follow! 

And just a few pictures of little man! Sorry about the quality of the pictures but they are from my phone b/c I haven't uploaded any new ones on my computer yet!
This is how River likes to hold his hands all the time!


He also likes to hold on the the straps of his car seat and I think it is too funny b/c he looks like he is holding on for dear life! And look at those big hands!

Wow!

Following up from my last post, the 2 pictures that I got from the photo shoot the other day are adorable!  I edited them tonight and I absoutely love how they turned out.  I am not going to post them on here until Callie sends out the birth annoucements! Here is more outtakes from the other day!

Photos Gone Wrong!

Yesterday, Callie and I decided that it would be a good time to try and take some pictures of River for his birth annoucement. Apparently River learned of our plans and decided that he did not like them one bit! Let's just say it was pretty much an epic fail! I think I got 2 good usable pictures all day. So for now here are some of the outtakes from the shoot!

Welcome!

Welcome to th world little man! Finally getting around to posting pictures of our first meeting with River.  I was one single most awesome moments of my life.  I didn't ever think that I could love one little person so much.  I absolutely love being an aunt, even if it means I'm a little sleep deprived sometimes (but I will do anything to help my wonderful sister out!





Meeting Gigi for the first time.


Doting Grandmothers


So sweet!


There are no words to explain how much I love this little guy!

Not Me Monday!

I most certainly did not carry around my camera with me everywhere I went for the past 2 weeks just in case River was born and I needed it immediately!

I also did not fail to make sure I am ample room on my memory card for said camera and find out that I needed to delete some pictures so I could get more pictures of my gorgeous nephew! Not Me! I would never do anything like that!

Also during my numerous trips to the hospital, I did not use the panic button to find my car in the parking garage. I always remember where I park my car!

Lastly, I did not start writing this post on Wednesday of last week because I knew I would be too busy holding River to write it before work today!

Head on over to Mckmama's to see what everyone else has been up to!

1st Days at Home

River and Callie came home from the hospital on Friday.  Everyone is doing well but just still trying to get adjusted.  He seems to be having a few tummy issues so they are trying to get that figured out.  He loves to be held and swaddled. 

I stayed with them last night to try to help them out so they can get a little rest.  I now have become the official bottle washer and sterilizer.  I'm just trying to help them out as much as possible around the house and just doing anything I can to help.  I'll stop rambling now and show the pictures.



Swinging Away!


Cute little baby feet


His paci is as big as his whole face.

Details!

Sorry I am just now getting around to posting the details on River! He was born at 7:48 am on April 7, 2010 weighing in at 8lbs 12 oz and 21 inches long. He is just too precious and I am completely in love with him.  He also looks so much like my Dad that I can't believe it!  Callie is doing really well also.  As of now they are planning on coming home tomorrow sometime.  I can't believe he is actually here!  Here are a few pictures that I took with my phone.  I will update later with the pictures from my camera since I left it at the hospital.

Waiting

Right now we are playing the waiting game and waiting on River to decide when he is ready to make his appearance.  Callie is 39 weeks now so it could be any time but I think River is pretty happy right where he is!  Hopefully, for Callie's sake and well ours too (since we can't wait to meet him) that he will decide he is ready to come out soon!
