Week One - Visitors Galore...including some all the way from Chicago!

My first car ride! I wonder where my parents are taking me? I hope the bed is more comfy than that plastic bed at the hospital.


Home Sweet Home!
My uncle and my cousins stopped by after school to see me! Cousin S did a great job holding me, I think she's had a lot of practice with her baby dolls!


Aunt Kathleen and Uncle Paul flew in all the way from Chicago to see me! I had so much fun with them! I can't wait to see them again at Thanksgiving.

Ahh! Sleep! Sleep is especially good when I get to snuggle with Papa!

Hanging in the hospital

My Mom and Dad opted to keep me in the room overnight at the hospital. I did my best to let them know what they were in for! Look at what my Dad looks like at four in the morning.

Welcome Rhian!

Rhian Elizabeth O'Connor was born at 4:10 am on September 20th at St. Agnes Hospital in Baltimore. She was 7 pounds, 8 ounces and supposedly 20 inches long. I say supposedly because 8 days later she was measured to be 21.5 inches long. That would be quite a growth spurt!

Here she is snoozing on the couch wrapped in a blanket from Nana.


And here's another shot from the hospital...
