Ryan Grayson Okruhlik was born today, April 7th 2011 at 9:21am. He is 20 inches long and weighed in at 8 lbs 2 oz. He's a big boy! (Although since I have been dealing with Ava who is 34 lbs old, he seems tiny to me!)
My c-section went well and was pretty much the same as the first except that I had a more severe reaction to my spinal and got a bit nauseous before the surgery started but there were no complications and recovery should be about the same.
We think he is just too cute....my mom (Me-mommy) came by after lunch today to meet him and said he looked just like Ava as a baby...I'll show you a pic of her at the same age below and you can see for yourself that he does indeed look like her as a baby.
Granny & Pops brought Ava up to meet her baby brother in the afternoon. Before the birth, Darren had taken Ava to the store to buy some birthday decorations for the hospital room (Ava's idea)...she brought up a cupcake pinata (or as she likes to say "pinana"), a birthday tiara for me (she got confused as to whose birthday it was), some bracelets for me, a rattle for Ryan, some greeting cards for each of us and some party streamers...too cute! Love that Ava wants to celebrate this and was excited. Know there will be some ups and downs as she adjusts to not being the only child anymore but her sweetness always astounds me.
Me modeling the tiara and reading the cards...definitely a keeper for Ryan's baby book.
And here is a side by side of Ava when she was a baby (on left) and Ryan on the right. Kind of similar right??
