Here's to the Beginning!!

As of November 29, 2007, we have officially become three instead of two. Oh...plus Lucy, our cute puppy!! Ryu Ivan Whiteman was born at 3:17pm. He was 21 inches and 7 pounds even. He is the spitting image of his daddy, with a hint of mommy in his smile and chin. He has been so much fun, even in the middle of the night. It is amazing to look into the eyes of your own creation. He looks at us so intensely. I think he is trying to figure out what we are all about.
He had his two week check up on the 14th of December. He has gained nearly a pound. He is a great eater. Again...just like daddy! They measured him only at 20 inches instead of the original 21 inches. I figure that is due to his amazing cone head at birth. Poor little man! I am glad to say that his head looks pretty good now!!
So, this is my attempt at keeping up with the rest of you! I hope that I will be able to make this a weekly routine. I hope all is well and you are all ready for CHRISTMAS!!!
