What did we ever do without him!

This is what happens every time he eats. Passes out cold. Isn't he adorable!




Taking a nap, looking cute, curled up like always.




We seriously love him more than ever imaginable. He is our little man. I really do not know what we ever did without him. I look forward to coming home everyday just to see his face. I take him with me every morning when I leave, in my heart. I dream about him when I sleep. Amy has got to be one of the best mother's ever. She is so caring, loving, and it is so natural for her. She also looks beautiful, it is truly amazing. God has been good to us, and we praise him for everything he has done for us.

Look at that smile!

Let's start with the best picture yet! This is at only 11 days old! He smiles like an angel, and has his Daddy's dimples! This picture makes it all worth it!




As you can see, spoiled already. Put him in his bassinet for maybe 10 minutes and he eventually ends up here!




Looking too cute.




This is the second favorite way to sleep!

Bryce has to return to the hospital, and the happiness of being home again!

Well many of you know that we found out that Bryce was Jaundice and would be needing therapy to assist in reducing his billiribbon level. Below are pictures of his therapy.

This is the photo therapy booth. It is the first phase of photo therapy for jaundice babies. Everything was o.k. until he woke up with eyes wide open and realized,
"oh this mask has to go back over my eyes". That is when it became a nightmare! He cried from 11pm until 5am the next morning, raking at the mask on his face, pulling it off several times. It was heart wrenching! But we made it through it, thanks to the strength from GOD!




Here is a closer look at the photo therapy booth. Bless his little heart.




Looking like a lightning bug! This is the second phase of the photo therapy for jaundice. It is a fiber optic blanket, called a billi blanket. Much better than the first phase which turned out to be a nightmare!!




On a much happier note, these are the times that we cherish with our little one.

Looking into mommas eyes. It is amazing how much they love each other!




Looking so fresh and so clean, after my first bath at home!




Stretching out on the changing table after a long nap.




Looking so cute you could eat him!!

Tired, but loving every minute of it.

So, its been 6 nights with little sleep, and we are very tired. But to keep this little guy in my arms I would go sleep free for a thousand nights!! Man do we love this little guy!

Looking real cute!!




Time to eat!!




Freshly fed, and now it's my favorite time, NAP TIME!!




Taking over Mommy and Daddy's bed.




"I sleep well in Daddy's arms."

We're Home!

Our beautiful little boy buckled in to his car seat for the first time, in his coming home outfit.



The new Family leaving the hospital.




Daddy and little man watching the race. He doesn't realize how much he will love racing yet.




Amy and little man taking their first nap at home.




It truly is amazing the amount of love that you have for someone that you have known for such a short period of time. I would gladly lay my life down for him and I've only known him for 3 days. The joy that he brings when I look at him makes me want to be a good father, and a better man. This experience has made me love my wife more than ever. Above all I feel that my relationship with God has moved to a new level. All in all, life right now is amazing.

April 4th, Bryce meets his extended Family.

Love you all.

Bryce has arrived!! 8lbs. 12oz., 21.5 in. long!! And one sore and tired Mommy!

8 lbs. 12oz., 21.5 in. and if you can believe this, his head measured 15 in.!!

His birthday is April 3rd. I cannot explain to you how strong Amy was through this process, I was, and am truly amazed! I want to praise God for his glory, and his blessings. He is the most beautiful baby boy that has ever been born.

It's BABY TIME!!

It is April 3rd and we checked in to the hospital last night. Amy slept on and off throughout the night and did pretty well. She received cervadil which is supposed to thin the cervix and help her dilate further. As of this morning she had thinned to 80%, dilated to about 2.5, and stationed to 0. Dr. Ray was very happy with her progress and believes that everything should go well. Everyone keep us in your prayers and please check out the pictures below.

Pictures from the night of April 2nd






As of today, hopefully his birthday, April 3rd





The Vitals

The top line is little man's heart rate, it has been pretty consistant at 140 or so. The second line is contractions, they are pretty strong now and about 4 minutes apart.



In this picture you will see from left to right, his heart rate, contraction intensity, her blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen level.
