So she's growing

Rio went to the Dr and all seems to be going well. She is now a whopping 7lbs 6oz and measures a HUGE 19 3/4 inches. That's all the new news, there are more pictures to come since the family is here and everyone is snapping away. Cooper was very excited to meet his cousin, he is already very protective of her.

More pictures

So not a lot of news right now. Rio is still eating, sleeping, peeing and or pooping and that is about it. We will let you know the second she does anything other then these 3 things. In the mean time here are some pictures for you.

Some new pictures

Ok, so I have not updated anything in a few days. Rio is doing well, here are some new pictures.
I will post more soon.

Our Dr. visit

So all is well with Miss Rio, she is back to her birth weight of 6lbs 13oz so we know that she is eating well. She was also lucky enough to find her thumb today, she seems to like it a lot, we will just have to make sure that she does not claw out her eye in the process.

Poop N Stuff

So there has been a lack of updating going on the past few days, Mel and I are flying solo now and just trying to figure out how all of this is going to work. We have been sleeping a little, longest stretch is around 3-4 hrs overnight which from what I understand is pretty good. Considering Mel and I used to go to sleep at 10pm with a 5:30am wake up it takes a bit of getting used to going to bed at midnight waking up at 3am up for an hour and back to bed for a bit. It is a bit of a shock to the system, but after a bit of time I think we will be good to go. Rio is doing well, she has gained 4oz in the 4 days we have been home and she is peeing and pooping like a champ. Actually today little Rio shot her poop about 4ft across the room so her pooping power is pretty impressive, which is nice. The lesson learned here is that it does not matter that you just took off a dirty diaper and cleaned her up a bit make sure you get the new diaper on ASAP, a baby can can reload rather quickly and you must always be ready for friendly fire.
Hope your all well, we love ya.

Posting comments

A few people have sent emails asking how they can leave a comment on one of my new posts, as it turns out it is pretty simple.
Under the date and title for each new post you will see the following:
"Posted by JR at 0:30PM 0 comments" usually the time and comment is in pink, if you click on the word comments it will bring you to a page where you can see all the comments left by people if any and will also ask you on that page if you would like to post your own comment. Just type your comment in the box, when your done click publish comment. That should be all there is to it.
Hope this helps.

Family photo

My dad snapped this off as my folks were leaving town, upon receipt we realized that this is our very first family photo. That's pretty cool!!! And check Rio out, she's working it for the camera and everything.

Rio's 1st film

Here's a quick video we took before leaving the hospital, we will add more later.
Love ya.

Here's Rio

Well, she's here, a bit early but we are psyched to finally meet her. Rio Macy was born on 11/1/08 at 10:47am, she weighed in at a whopping 6lbs 13oz, I guess no one was really expecting Melissa and I to have a giant anyway. Here is a quick photo, I will add some more in the next day or two but I just wanted to make sure that you could put a face with name. Thank you all so much for your love and support, it means soooo much to Mel and I that you are all thinking about us even though we are all so far away. On another note, you may notice that this blog is now at a new address, you will also see that on the top right of this page there is a place that says email subscribe. If you enter you email address you will get a email in your box each time that I update the site, that way I do not have to send a mass email out to everyone whenever something new goes up. Thanks so much again, we love you and miss you. Hope to see everyone soon!
