Ryan Trent Harris

He’s here!  He weighed 8 lbs. 10 oz, was 21 1/2 " long and is blonde as can be….unlike Ben who had thick black hair.   I started to have high blood pressure last week so they were going to induce me Wednesday night, but I went into labor myself anyways and had a super fast labor and delivery.  ( I dilated from 4 cm to 10 in an hour…..luckily I had already had the epidural!)  We are happy to be home today and Ryan is just as sweet as can be.

Ben has been SO excited for Ryan to come.  He’s been reminding us that next week Ryan will be big enough to play with him.  :)

I’m sure we’ll have lots more pictures to come in the next few days, but for now we’re enjoying snuggling our new little man!
