Well, we did it! We got through having our first baby, and boy was it an experience to remember. 14 hours of labor, with 2 1/2 hours of pushing at the end of it all... Such hard, painful work, but he was so worth it! He ended up weighing 7 lbs 13 oz, 21 1/2 inches long. I am so glad he was 4 days early!! Enjoy these pictures of sweet, little baby Van Ryan Hicken...
Our first family photo...
Dr Layton... we loved this Dr. so much, he was great!
With Grandma Reeves... who has been at my house everyday this week. I couldn't have gotten through this very emotional recovery time without your help. Thank you for all you do for me. I love you so much!!
With Grandpa Reeves... Who is responsible for some of these pictures. Thanks for capturing all the precious moments, dad!
With Mamaw and Papa Hicken... We were SO happy they were able to see him and visit with him for a little bit before they left for their mission, and so were they!!
Ryan took this sweet picture after we got home... doesn't he look like a little angel? This is probably my ALL TIME favorite photo!
We've learned that parenting is EXTREMELY tiring!
I just love him so much, and still can't believe he is ours!
He is SO CUTE!! I am glad that you made it through and everyone is healthy! It is so nice to have moms there with you after you have a baby. They always make everything better! Well Congrats Kimber and Ryan...he really is adorable!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Kimber!! Van is adorable!
ReplyDeleteWe are so happy for you! Isn't a relief when they finally get here? When I saw Ryan the other day, he DID look EXHAUSTED! So funny! You two will be perfect parents!
ReplyDeleteYou and Ryan are going to be great parents and I really enjoyed coming over every day to be with you and Van. It was so fun for me to hold and feed him and spoil him for a few days! Just let me know if you ever need me again! love you all...
