Connor Daniel Ratliff


Hello Everyone!
I have been trying to post these pictures for a few days now, but it's kinda hard to get to the blog these days! Connor is doing great and we are sooo blessed and happy to have such a wonderful, calm, and loving son! He could not be a better boy! He only squeals to let us know if he needs something! Breastfeeding is wonderful and he is a GREAT eater! We are up a lot at night, but I don't believe it's anymore than I was up the last 6 weeks of pregnancy and I'm so glad that my body was prepared for this! Jason and I love every second we spend with our son and thank God for the best gift that we could ever have gotten! Enjoy the pictures and let me know what you think!
This is Jason and I at the hospital, the morning of the induction...


Ready to meet our Connor...

All I could eat all day was ice chips and Popsicles - and Misty did a GREAT job of making sure I was filled up with cherry, grape, banana, and orange pops! Thanks Misty!

Head band is on and I'm ready to push! What I did not mention before is that I jammed out to Dave Matthews Band on the Ipod throughout the pushing "process" :)
