RB EB Happenings

They say a picture is worth 1000 words...I think so.  Knowing we would have one child, it became apparent and very important to me to capture as much of Rhett's childhood as possible.  Especially in this day and age of digital imagry, video etc., it seems crazy not to!  Before he was born, I sought out a great photographer, studying photos and studios etc.  Finally with the help of Facebook and a referral from a friend, we came across Barbie.  We booked a newborn session, dependent upon Rhett's arrival date, and were set to capture his newness before it wore off.  We took him at 7 days old, his 2nd outing only after his pediatrician appointment.  It was quite the afternoon of events, well....for Rhett anyway.  We had a long session with Barbie at her home studio...with a space heater!  Have to keep a naked baby happy and warmth is the key!  Rhett was fairly happy to be posed, and turned...until hunger struck.  We had to snack...and ...

He's just over a week old!  Amazingly, everything is going very well.  He's learning how to make it through this big ol' world, eating, pooping and sleepin' it up!  Grandma Judy and Grandad Countess are here visiting, helping with the endless baby stuff.  I think Grandma just wants to hold him and love him as much as possible before having to go back to Colorado. We had some professional photos take on his one week birthday, and will post those later...a teaser!  Here are a few pics below in the mean time that Mommy or Daddy took. Like Father, Like Son....

Our baby boy has arrived....John Rhett Brown, we will call him Rhett. After 31 long hours.  But what the heck, we already waited 9 months right... 2/8/10 at 10:04 p.m. Weighing 8lbs, 8oz 21" long Light sandy brown/blonde hair Bright Blue Eyes Beautiful...

This may very well be the last post before Baby B arrives!  We went to the Doctor this morning, and we have officially been scheduled for induction next Monday, February 8th.  However, that does NOT mean that we will have him on the 8th.  If the hospital is really busy that day with deliveries, they will bump us over to Tuesday.  Also, he is very happy and content in there, not really wanting to come out into this world, so this could very well be a LONG experience, and possibly end up in a C-Section.  Now, I know LOTS of Mom's that say to avoid a C-Section at all costs...and maybe I will have that opinion later too....but it's looking like if this baby boy is as stubborn as his father can be...it may end up a C-Section.  I'm not opposed, as long as he and I are both healthy and as long as I have lots of good drugs and little pain.  Pain & I are NOT friends.  This kid is comin' out one way or another, that's for sure! After he has arri...
