I Love Being a Mom...

So I have to be honest...I knew I was ready to have kids, but I wasn't sure how well I would embrace the Mommy role. But I can now officially say it is the greatest thing in the world.

Ryan is an amazing baby. He's really good, and we've actually gotten into a descent routine. He loves to sleep, but now wakes up on his own (most of the time) to eat. We usually go to bed around 1:30 or 2:00 a.m., and then he'll sleep for 4 hours straight, which is wonderful. He's starting to spend more time awake and alert, which is really fun. He has these beautiful, sparkling blue eyes and when he's awake, all I want to do is look at him.

I love our little family and couldn't be happier. Ryan is truly our little angel...

I thought I'd share some new photos of Baby Ryan, since he is changing so much every single day.

We are all doing well, just tired. Ryan is a sleeper, but he lost more than 10% of his initial body weight so we've been on a feeding schedule of every 2 hours since last Thursday. Needless to say, it's a bit taxing, but well worth it.

We are loving parenthood and the joy that comes with being a family. Bryan has completely taken to the role of Daddy and I couldn't ask for a better partner in figuring out this fun new adventure...

Here are a few...there will be plenty more to come, because these give you absolutely no idea just how cute little Ryan really is...

Ryan is Here!

Ryan Taft Colby made his debut on July 1 at 2:47 a.m. He weighed 7 pounds, 6 ounces and was 19 1/2 inches long.

He is an amazing baby and we are so excited to call him our own. I will post pictures as soon as I get them moved onto my computer. He is absolutely adorable.

Labor was not nearly as bad as I anticipated until the very end. After 25 hours, including 3 hours of pushing, the prize was more than worth the effort.

We're still trying to get everything figured out, but as soon as I have some time I will post more details.
