Ryder's Cousin

We finally got to meet our little nephew (well, not so little) Jonas (god I love that name)! This was the nephew who weighed in at ten pounds at birth, and from the looks of him here, at three months, I say: "MOTHER OF GOD"! He's definitely a huge sack of Pillsbury dough, and yes, I wanted to shove every bit of him into my mouth.

Mom and Chris are fabulous, and I found out all the gory details of Jonas' birth. If you're pregnant, you might want to stop here- and if you're a mommy- you can thank your lucky stars. First of all, he was late, by a week. Second of all, she tried having him vaginally but to no avail. Then they gave her pitocin to help her along, but nope- that didn't work either. Her cervix was actually closing with each increase of the cervical dilating med, and not only that, she had serious and painful contractions because of it. And then Jonas' heartbeat began to drop from all the pressure, sooo they just gave her a c-section. Jesus, I'm telling ya... Mom's RULE!

He's got a pair of "stumbling blue eyes" and a killer smile to go with them. He's such a little hotty already!

Can there be ANY MORE cute babies in this world right now?
