So as you all know we have the cutest new little baby in our family. His name is Greyson Grant Mantell he was born June 6 at 2:19 P.M.. He weighed 7 lbs. 4 oz. and he was 19 1/2 inches long. He has long dark hair (which explains the horrible heartburn I had)! I never expected any of my kids to have hair. I thought I was going to have all bald babies. So we were shocked when he came with this head of hair. It is the softest hair ever and I love running my fingers through it!!! He is a very good baby. He hardly ever cries. He is a pretty good sleeper at nights for being a new born baby. He has long fingers and toes and cute chubby cheeks. We love having him in our family a ton!!!!!! Ryler has been the best big brother.
This time was a totally different experience this time around we got to schedule a c-section. We got to the hospital and called on the little phone and waited for a nurse to come and get us. Just so you know I do not miss those last pregnancy days. This time everything happened so much faster which I was extremely happy about. No 18 hours a labor. They took us in and got us already for the big moment. Sean loved his outfit so much. He especially likes the shoes and the collar on the one piece suit.
and then here is me don't we look fancy!
Then just a short time after we get to see and hold our beautiful little baby boy. It is the best feeling ever to meet them for the first time and hear their little cry. It is awesome. This time I didn't get sick or shaky like last time I was so glad. I felt like I was more aware of what was going on and I was actually smiling the whole time. The surgery went well. (what a relief) Then we get a long stay at the hospital which I don't mind. I actually like the extra time at the hospital other than being away from Ryler that long I missed him but it is nice to get to rest and just get to hang out with sean and get to hold my new baby and not to mention the unlimited grape juice and italian ice!
I just have to say Sean is the best husband and dad ever! He is so supportive. He has helped me so much with everything he has helped me clean, cook, run errands everywhere. He plays withe ryler for hours. Plus he works very hard at school and at his job on top of everything else.
He would seriousely do anything for me and our kids not to mention Ryler absolutely adores him and I know all of our kids will be the same way.
Our first family picture with us four. Sean says we are real family now that we have two kids.
I love my boys!
Seans parents and brother came to see us. They were a huge help to us. Ryler got to spend some time with them and he got taken very good care of so thanks to them for all of their help.
Ryler liked the hospital and all the stuff to see he really liked wearing the masks, helping me eat my food and drinking out of my mug.
The cutest kids ever!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ryler has been such a good help to me. He helps me with Greyson so much. He loves to hold him and even though he doesn't really like to touch the dirty diapers he is always quick to throw them away for me. Ryler is 3 years old now and he is getting so big. He loves to play every sport there is. He loves baseball and can hit a ball like a champ (without the tee). He loves to watch sports on tv and he thinks he is Kevin Durrant. He loves to swim and has been going swimg almost everyday. He was on a soccer team called the monkey and he was very good he scored five goals in one game. He loves to go to the park and he makes friends wherever he goes. He is very social. He loves to go to church. He likes to watch for bugs with me. He is very smart and loves to read books and he memorizes them. He is such a good boy and Greyson is very lucky to have him as an older brother.
My mom and brother Trent got to come out and see us. It was a very fun week. They got to play pretty much every sport there is with Ryler. We loved having them come out and wished they could have stayed longer
So far we love being a family of four and we are all doing really good. We love having Greyson in our family so much and so glad he is finally here.
