Rolling, rolling, rolling!

Roy learned a new trick the other day (Feb 25th). He dosen't stay on his belly for long now!!

going over!

Yeah, he made it!!!

Baby Toes

I love these little piggies. I have always love little baby feet, and the best part are the little baby toes. Roy's toes are long and he will even hold onto your finger if you put it under them!

My Three Sons!!

I am still is shock that I have another son. It seems like just yesterday that I was a "girls" mom. Now I have these cute energetic boys, I am so blessed!!! I tried to get some pictures of them right after Roy was born... it proved to be difficult! Here is the littlest brother, our cute baby Roy (he is just under two weeks in this photo).

Wally is so concerned... it is ok baby! Nelson is oblivious!
New baby? What new baby?!
Uh, mom could you take him? Cool new sunglasses!!

This was the best shot I could get. My "Big Bros" and the "little brother." I am truly so blessed!

Roy's 1st bath

The entire family crowded into the bathroom the other day to watch Roy get his first official bath. It was a cozy time and the room was very warm. At first Roy really enjoyed the water and was very relaxed and mellow.

Then, when I started to wash him and move him around, he started to get a little angry.

He continued to be upset until I got his clothes back on him. It was a great family activity and the kids really enjoyed watching. The big disappointment was that he didn't pee in the tub like all of the others had!!!

Stocking Stuffer

As you all know we recieved the most wonderful gift for Christmas this year. Baby Roy was given a stocking at the hospital to celebrate his arrival. We decided to take a few pictures of him with it.

Meme asking baby Roy if he'd like to participate in a photo shoot!
"This isn't exactly what I expected!"
Cute Christmas Baby
"Aren't I adorable!"
Another random shot for viewing pleasure.... I love my new baby brother!

"Lights"

After Roy was born we had to take him back to the hospital to have his bilirubin levels checked. He was high and we had to keep going to the hospital to get his levels checked. While at home he had to be on special lights to help him break down the bilirubin in his system. Here are a few pictures...

Hi Meme!

I was, in almost all ways, glad that Roy decided to come early. I was however, very sad that my mom wasn't here for the birth. Roy is the only grandchild that she hasn't seen come into this world. Disappointing yes, but I suppose that it just makes him unique!

It was hard for Meme to wait almost and entire week to meet him! She came on December 31st, and here she is greeting Roy for the first time in the airport!
I am sure she loves him just as much as the others!!! It was a very sweet meeting!!

Coming Home!

Roy came home from the hospital on December 26th. Here he is after his first washing. He looks so grumpy about the whole thing!!

This is his going home outfit. If you look closely you will see it has lions on it. A lion is the stuffed animal that I got for him when I found out I was pregnant.
This was his first washing. He was not overly excited to be cleaned off!!

Merry Birthday!!

At 3:30 am Christmas morning I awoke to a surprise... my water had broken. Not only was this the first time I have had my water break at home, but our little one wasn't due to arrive for another two and a half weeks! Due to some complications we hurried to the hospital. Thanks to technology we Deric and I were able to watch the kids open their gifts via Skype on the computer. Later in the day 5:33pm to be exact, our sweet little baby Roy was born. He weighed 10lbs 2 oz and was 21 1/2 inches long. What a special Christmas gift! Here he is with his dad for the first time!

Roy with his Mom, only minutes old. Notice the blood splatter all over... that is from the spray that occurred when Deric cut the cord (that has never happened before!!)

Later that night the kids all came to receive the greatest gift of the day... a new baby brother. Here they are seeing him for the first time. Individual shots to follow!

34 Weeks!

I lost my camera battery and couldn't put this picture up right away. I was about 34 weeks when it was taken but I was measuring almost 42!!! Little Roy is definitely not so little! I am now almost 36 weeks and if you can believe it I am quite a bit bigger!!

Baby Roy, 30 Weeks

I have neglected to post any pictures of our new little one (or really not so little one). Our soon to be third terror!! I have to say that the ultrasound machine is one of the most barbaric ones I have ever seen. The pictures aren't great but you can make out the profile on the top two, his feet on the bottom left and his hand bottom right. We are so excited to welcome this guy into our family. Even Wally now points to my belly and says "Roy" ? Then he looks through my belly button to see him!!
