Sorry for the laps in the birth to when we got
pictures up.  Ryan had some yuckys that was
making breathing not quite as easy.  So they
took me down to the nursery with him and got
checked out, bathed, etc.  He didnt cry much,
just a little bit when he came because he didnt
like being cold.  He cried a little when
getting his shots too.  Otherwise he's been
very content and happy.
