The Third Piece of Rees has Arrived!

After working 8 of my 12 hour shift, I was able to pass off my laboring patients to my fellow nurses and be admitted myself! Andrew Elliott Rees arrived at 2:50 am on October 30th, 2010 weighing a grand 8 pounds 11 ounces and was 20.5 inches long. No wonder I was so uncomfortable! We are much happier having our not-so-little Andy on the outside rather than on the inside. He's wonderful! But enough with the talk. Here are some pictures of our sweet boy:

Not just a cone head- a tube head is more like it!


Can you get a cuter face?

First family photo! I was pretty swollen by the end, but I'm blaming that puffy face on the IV fluids.

Meeting Grandpa Rees

The Billibed of Torture! Andy had to be in this bed 24/7 for two days to help get rid of his jaundice. We're glad he's looking pink again!
Grampa Fife making sure that Andy really is healthy (for his mommy's sake)

Saying goodbye to Grandma and Grampa Fife. Wahh!

Andy learns that just because you can suck on it doesn't mean it will taste good!

We are grateful that both mom and baby (and daddy!) are doing well. Thanks to everyone who sent cards, gifts, and good wishes. We have such awesome friends and family!

  5. Soooo cute! (Except for the whole cone-head thing which, I have to say, is pretty amazing. I know I only have my own to compare it to, but that cone has to have set some records.) I think I need to go find something to cuddle.
