Okay, so I have been promising many of you photos for two days now and just haven't had time until now. However, the camera is at the hospital with Melanie. So I guess you'll just have to imagine what she looks like until tomorrow.
Rylie Noelle Jones was born at 3:44 PM, Thursday, December 21, 2006. She was 7 pounds 6 ounces, 19 inches. She is fairly bald on top with dark hair on the sides and back of her head. She has the sweetest little spirit about her and thus far Brendan has absolutely loved to hold her, kiss her and give her loves. We still need to work on the whole "being gentle" part of big brothering. Dad's rough housing everyday has formed some interesting habits in terms of newborns being in his (Brendan's) arms.
Both Melanie and Rylie are doing well and will be home tomorrow for any who wish to call and chat. Melanie had a "good" labor (if labor can ever be called good). Things went smoothly and quickly with no complications. Oh,and in case anyone cares, I'm doing good too although I'm not sure that anyone who designed those "beds" for Dad's to sleep on at the hospital actually slept in them--they're awful!! But that's a whole different conversation--probably once the pains of labor, delivery, and recovery have worn off. I can't really complain much at this point, an uncomfortable board for two nights just doesn't seem to compare to 10 months of sleepless nights ending with...well, I think you see where this is headed.
Check back soon for pictures.
