Finally here!!!

We really enjoyed having Grandma here this past week and getting to show her all the cool things about Lake Havasu :)  I'm sure she was glad to get back home today after being around our crazy bunch of boys all week! 

We were getting a little worried that Spider Ryder wasn't going to come while Grandma was still here, but I had an appt. on Thursday and my Dr. said she didn't have a problem breaking my water since I was past my due date.  So Friday afternoon we went into the hospital.  I actually started having some contractions before the Dr. came, so I'm pretty sure we would have been going in that day anyway.  Dr. broke my water at about 6:15 p.m. and I told the nurse I wanted an epidural.  As the contractions got more and more intense and closer and closer together we found out that the anesthesiologist was in a case and they didn't know when he would be done- so no epidural for me :(   After about an hour and 1/2 of labor and 3 or 4 pushes our BIG...... no, make that HUGE!! boy was finally here!  I couldn't believe it when they said he weighed 9 lbs. 12 oz.!  We are so glad to finally have him here and that Grandma and the older boys were able to meet him before they all had to leave! 

I know most of you have seen all of these photos, but we wanted to post them again for those that haven't :)

The 2 little boys weren't allowed in the L&D unit because of RSV and Flu season,
but the older 2 got to come in and meet their new little brother before they headed to CA for Spring Break.
LOVE this picture of Grandma and Ryder- so cute!  :)

I somehow managed to squeeze him into the little newborn outfit I packed to take him home in. 

Levi held his hand the whole way home :)

Ahhhh....finally home!

Lots of loves!

Little Spider Ryder is definitely loved by his older brothers!  Max has asked to hold him about a dozen times since we got home from the hospital today :)    Everyone's doing great and glad to be home!
