Hawaii Babies

I'm a mom :)

Awww, thanks Kristin for posting that our little boy is finally here :)

My first day back on The Bump, it's been crazy here since we made it back home on Monday!  It's been such a whirlwind around here these days, but here is a picture of the little guy I took on his way from the hospital on my phone

Our little Rawley James - born just an hour after my birthday.  Little stinker!

We just got his newborn pics taken today so I hope to post those soon along with my birth story when I get a few moments :)

Thank you everyone for the well wishes and support throughout this whole experience.  It's great to finally be a mommy :)

Re: I'm a mom :)

  • Yaaaaay congratulations! I like the name Rawley - I've never heard it before. What was the inspiration? It sounds a bit like a surname - is it a family name?
  • Also, I love how chill he looks in that photo. He's all, "Yeah. That's right. I'm here. What's up?" Stick out tongue
  • Congrats!  He's adorable!  Can't wait to see his nb pics.  :)

    Yay! Congratulations!  He's such a cute little man. :) How big is he? And more importantly, how are you feeling mama? 

    He weighed in at 7lbs 14oz 21 inches long which odly enough were my exact same measurements when I was born.  Still recovering, but feeling better each day.  Breast feeding has been my biggest challenge and stress, but I know it will only get easier.

    Lisa, Rawley was originally inspired and liked by MH.  Rawley was named after Rollie Fingers - an old baseball player with a ridiculous and obnoxious moustache....don't even get me started ;)  The name finally grew on me after a while and think it's cute now, especially since now looking at him I can't think of anything else to call him :)

  • What a beautiful little guy! Congrats again. Hope you're doing well.
  • Congrats to you and your DH...what a beautiful boy! :)  And LOVE the name, too...very unique.  BF is definitely hard the first few weeks, but you two will find a rhythm and it'll become second nature soon enough. :)  All the best!

    That is right!  I remember you telling us about that many moons ago!  How perfect!  I love the name! 

    and Congratulations!! It is all new, but it all does get much easier.  (for me at least, nursing was really tough but after about three - four weeks, the pain was entirely gone & that made life much better!)

    Ohh yes I remember you posting about the name Rollie! I think it's great that you found a way to make the name work. Smile

  • congratulations!!  i love that your birthdays are a day apart Big Smile

    (for me, BFing hurt like #%@# for 6 or 8 weeks, so no worries if you're still in pain after 3-4 weeks - i thought it would never get better, but it does!)
