A little over a week ago, our family vacation drastically changed when my water broke at 32 weeks. And one week ago today, our family of four became five. If you have not heard the story yet, you can start reading about it here.
I am feeling so much better. I finally took my camera to the NICU and took the time to get some good pictures, it was killing me not having good pictures and not being able to see them. So I brought along my camera and am using my father-in-laws Mac to get see them all. I did not realize how important and what an outlet photography is for me until this past week. I have been missing having and taking good pictures. So here are pictures from today's visit.
Yay for pictures! These are so great. Seeing Eric hold him reminds me just how little he is too! And Lucas' hand on Ryder's head looks giant! And I seriously think Ryder looks like Eric already!
ReplyDeleteYou guys are the most darling family of five.
Wow, seeing Eric hold him really shows how small he is! Oh, I just realized Rachel said that exact thing. I guess that makes it true ;)
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to see a family picture. Glad to hear he's doing well!
Ryder is beautiful! What great pictures! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteLove these pictures and I love the kids red hair....reminds me of my oldest daughter's hair.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are feeling better :)
Oh. my. goodness. What a beautiful precious baby. All three. All five of you. Just a beautiful family.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to see the pictures. He is so tiny, but he will bulk up real soon.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful family. Ryder is so sweet-looking. I love that one of the nurses made the sign for his bed. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat ADORABLE photos!
ReplyDeleteAdorable!
ReplyDeleteLove seeing you all together! He is beautiful and I am so glad that you are feeling better.
ReplyDeleteYour family is so cute! Your little girl is especially adorable!
ReplyDeleteholy cow, that little itty bitty guy is so cute! Great Pics!
ReplyDeleteThe one of your husband holding your son's head is award wining! So amazing!
ReplyDeleteOh Emmy! Those pictures are amazing! True keepsakes. Ryder looks perfect. Such good color! I wish you would have been at the hospital when my kids were born. I would love to have beautiful shots like that!
ReplyDeleteSo glad to see photos!!! He looks so much like my Little One when he born ... same hair and a similar face!
ReplyDeleteAnd how tiny he is!! Precious! Good to see all of you smiling and together!
He's totally gorgeous and he doesn't look all bumpy and squishy like most newborns. It's totally not fair. So glad to hear that everyone is doing so well.
ReplyDeleteHe is so tiny! It's hard to beleive how quickly the grow.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad that things are going better.
Don't worry he'll catch on to the eating thing before to long. Have they given you a shield yet?
Adorable! He looks big until you see him next to your husband's hand!
ReplyDeleteOkay, Ryder already needs a haircut. How did that happen? He looks so tiny next to his older siblings. And thank you for the closeup of his face. It is such a perfect and beautiful face! What an angel you have, and how lucky you are. Again, congratulations!
ReplyDeleteYou and Ryder both look so great! I can't get over the picture of Eric's hands holding Ryder's head. Oh my goodness, that really puts it in perspective...
ReplyDeleteLooks like Lucas and Alex love him already!
dang, i want that nurse to make one for me! great idea. love his cheeks.
ReplyDeleteOh, he's so sweet. They are all just lovely kids!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures, I'm one of those people who say, wow - he's really big for his age and looks *so* good.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking about you all often!
Great pictures. He's just adorable, they all are. Hope he's home soon.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, I have been so out of touch. Life has been crazy busy (or so I thought) but wow, yours even more so. Looking back at these posts reminded me so much of when Eli was born at 35 weeks (but stopped developing at 32 weeks) so we has 4 pounds, 5 ounces.
ReplyDeleteYou know how all of that turned out :)
Congratulations to all of you!
