I don’t remember who came to see me when I was just born (thank goodness for my blog) but here are some of Ruby’s visitors.
Uncle Jeff – he’s a natural!
Alyssa – she’s a natural too! She was mommy’s doula and mommy really appreciated all her support during the tough decision to have a c-section.
Joann – she was the first person (outside of the docs) to hold me. She’s one of my favorites!
Here are some pictures from the hospital, Ruby was 1 day old…the hospital pictures are way nicer these days!
Wild hair!
Look at those wrinkly toes
Awww, my baby Ruby
The photographer caught me smiling …both my sister and I were in a grumpy mood. She had a really bad tummy ache from something mommy ate, most likely the yucky egg sandwich she had in the morning. Hospital food!
The day after Ruby was born gramma Charyl brought me to the hospital for a visit, I was so excited to meet baby Ruby. I whispered the whole way through the hall way so that I wouldn’t wake up all the sleeping babies.
Mommy!
Awwww…she is sad? She was crying so I wasn’t sure what was going on!
Baby Ruby got me Spiderman, how cool is that!
We brought mommy bread sticks and alfredo from Olive Garden, yummy!
I couldn’t meet my sister while she was dirty so they gave her a bath…
She was all snuggled up with Ruby and the nurse undressed her, how rude!
I like warm baths too Ruby!
Wow, that is what my hair looks like after a bath too!
All snuggled up with Auntie Renee, the very first person to hold her besides the doc, nurses, mommy and daddy.
Today we went to Carter & Camden’s birthday party, we left around 1pm and right as we got in the car mommy’s water broke. I didn’t really know what was going on so I passed out in the car and mommy walked me up to my bedroom for a nap, as she was doing that she basically wet her pants. Yuck! Mommy was super tired too so she cleaned herself up and went to take a nap. While I was sleeping Gramma came over so that she could take care of me and take me to Teagan’s birthday party. While I was at the party playing on the bouncy house and eating bbq, mommy and daddy went to Olive Garden and enjoyed some soup with breadsticks and alfredo. Afterwards they took a 2 hour walk around to get mommy’s contractions going…all was well!
When they arrived to the hospital they were checking into Triage and mommy’s contractions were 4-5 minutes apart…however they slowed down to nothing and the doc suggested a c-section. I gotta say, I’m not surprised, my sisters head was about as big as mine and she was overdue by 10 days (I was only 8), so mommy did what was best for both her and Ruby and agreed to the c-section. My baby sister arrived into the world at 1:30am screaming at the top of her lungs. She was 8 pounds, 8 oz, 21 inches long and had a full head of hair. I look forward to growing up with her and I already love her so much!
Auntie Renee came to join and watch the c-section. Mommy and daddy were both so glad that she was there, she was a huge help and took all the pictures. We love you tons Auntie Renee!
Walking to the Operating Room…mommy holding her gown together so you don’t have to check out her bootie.
Daddy in his stylin’ scrubs
Getting prepped for a spinal…mommy had to curl her back up and in went the shot, she said it hurt!
Mommy said she really liked all the docs in the room, they were all so great and I’m glad that they took good care of my mommy! Holy cow, look at that belly of mommy’s, it’s huge!
Hey, mommy wore those slippers when I was born too! Those must be her lucky slippers!
My baby sisters head!
Dr. Dawn Russell and baby Ruby…look at all that blood, yucky!
She is here, mommy said she looks a bit smaller than I did but we look like spitting images of each other. (She got an 8 on the Apgar Scale)
This was our favorite nurse…hopefully Auntie Renee can remember her name because mommy is drawing a blank! My perfect baby Ruby.
My proud daddy!
Moments after coming back to the room mommy got to have baby Ruby on her chest for some skin to skin contact…baby Ruby was happy! Welcome to the world baby Ruby, I’m going to be the best big brother to you!
Taking a ride on the horsey at the Evergreen State Fair. I love riding horses!
I’m ready for my cake Uncle Seth
My grandma Mina, Uncle Seth, Mommy & Ruby
Make a wish…uncle Seth let me help him blow out the candles
Look at my ice cream
Uncle Seth got an RC car…that is cool, I wanna play!
Now that’s an RC car!
I’m so excited, Uncle Seth got a bi RC car and I got a little RC car, it’s just my size!
I sure do love my mommy and I know she loves me too. Mommy is about to have my baby Ruby anytime now and I can’t wait to meet her.
Mommy decided that she wanted to go the fair to try to walk baby Ruby out…unfortunately, that didn’t happen. However, I had a great time checking out all the rides, eating hot dogs and sharing a strawberry shortcake with mommy. What a fun night!
First ride I went on…they fellow let me on it for free. It was a cool obstacle course…daddy didn’t like the big bridges, they were a but instable without hanging on (as you can see, I have daddy’s hands, no way I was going to cross that without him!).
Coming down the slide, what fun!
Mommy was a bit nervous about this one but she let me go anyways!
Whooo hoooo!
Next, I rode the motorcycles…all by myself!!!
Poppin’ a wheelie
Time to go driving!
I can’t wait to do this for real one day!
Silly smile
Love the carousel, thankfully I was tall enough to go on it.
Flying the airplane, daddy is such a good boy to do these rides with me…round and round we go!
My favorite ride of all…the bouncy cars! I went on this twice, then we went to have strawberry shortcake…afterwards I was “tired out!†I look forward to when I get to go again!
Mommy and Daddy took me to the zoo today and I had so much fun! We were there for 4+ hours and really didn’t see much, but I spend extra time at each place just admiring the animals and asking questions.
Checking out the monkey statues at the front of the zoo…
Daddy told me to pick my nose like a monkey…gross daddy!
Petting the Goat
“She’s a good boy!â€
This is a scary tunnel, it has spiders, I’m outta here!
A gigantic spider web, every boys dream!
Look at me, I’m a turtle!
Don’t let go of me mommy! I don’t want to fall off this tree!
Do you see me?
I’m exploring with this kid…checking out his map and chatting.
I look forward to going back to the zoo and seeing more animals next time!
