Ryder is Here!


He's finally here...Tuesday, January 29th, at 3:24pm, Ryder Joseph Dilley came into the world. He was 8lbs. 5oz. and 22in. long and has a full head of mom's dark hair! Everything went well, and mom and baby came through the delivery process great. What an unbelieveable and overwhelming experience!
Priscila was tough throughout the whole labor process, and was actually making jokes with the labor nurses between pushes. The nurses and the doctors at Harris Southwest were awesome and did everything possible to make the whole experience a pleasant one.

After two days and nights with Ryder in the hospital, they finally kicked us out and wouldn't let us take any of the nurses. We're at home now and are adjusting on the fly to the world of parenthood.

Thanks to all that had Priscila and Ryder in their prayers thoughout, and to those that visited in the hospital, called, texted, etc. Here are some pictures...some of many, as I am already the cheesey dad that can't put the camera down.
We can't wait for you all to meet Ryder!
