Mommy and Riley

This is Mommy's favorite picture of us. 

Mommy's first hold

It took two days, but Mommy finally got to hold and feed me for the first time today.  I'm still learning to suck, swallow AND breathe..... and try to keep my oxygen levels up.

....but we eventually got the hang of it !

It's my birthday!

Happy Birthday to Me!

Me and Daddy

Me and Mommy

I had a hard time learning to suck, swallow AND breathe at first.  After a short stint with an NG tube, I finally learned.  Now, if I could keep my O2 levels up I can get outta this joint!

Hospital Here We Come!

Here's the happy family on delivery day at 39 weeks gestation. 

We rode up in Oma's car (she would join us later with big sister Traci).

Mommy was so ready for this day to come and so excited to see our little guy.
