First Sunday

Well, as per the previous post, our first Sunday was pretty uneventful until after the meeting when Rhys decided to fill his drawers to overloaded! Unfortunately (and fortunately!) Eldon was holding him at the time. :)

This picture is just after I pointed out to Eldon that he had poo on his hand! Hilarious to everyone but Eldon!

Caught in the middle of a yawn!

Rhys laying on the Cabelas camo blanket Uncle Arlen bought him even before we knew he was a boy!

More pics of Baby Rhys

So sorry to keep you all waiting for updated pictures! We have had a really interesting week settling into our new life with Rhys! We are getting a little sleep at night at least! We had our first Sunday with him this morning....he was very good all meeting long! We are still getting used to his wanting to pee everywhere just when you have his nappy off! Anyway, this morning I was changing his nappy on our car after the meeting and he decided to have a really good pee all over the changing pad, car, me, and anything else in reach! It was very funny! Straight after we got that mess sorted out and a new nappy put on, he decided to have his first major blowout! Poor Eldon copped that one! It's all new and interesting in this household right now!

False Alarm

Well, 4 days overdue now...still hanging in there so to speak. :) Last Saturday we had a bit of a false alarm and we ended up in hospital being monitored for a couple of hours. Fortunately (or unfortunately) nothing came of it. Eldon said I would look back on these pics and be glad for the record...I suppose he is right but they aren't very complimentary!

In other exciting news....Mom and Dad arrive today in about 4 1/2 hours! Woo hoo!
