Pictures!!

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.
Our first family picture with all 5

On Ryder's bed-one of the nurses made it for him

And I figured while I am at it I might as well link up with Photo Sharing Friday.

  1. 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!

    You guys are the most darling family of five.

  2. 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 ;)

    It's nice to see a family picture. Glad to hear he's doing well!

  14. 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.

  15. He is so tiny! It's hard to beleive how quickly the grow.
    I 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?

  17. Okay, 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!

  18. You 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...
    Looks like Lucas and Alex love him already!

  21. Great pictures, I'm one of those people who say, wow - he's really big for his age and looks *so* good.

    I'm thinking about you all often!

  22. Great pictures. He's just adorable, they all are. Hope he's home soon.

  23. Oh 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.

    You know how all of that turned out :)

    Congratulations to all of you!
