Wilson

Here are a few pictures of our little guy. This was just after he was born. So cute!!!



This is Wilson in his Utah hat his grandma got him. Everyone at the hospital loved his hat!!! In fact one night he had to go to the nursery and the Nurse told me there was another baby there that was wearing a BYU hat and the other nurses were commenting on how good the Utah baby was and that the BYU baby kept crying. I just told them was because the BYU baby was nervous about the game on Saturday, but Wilson knows we are going to do great!!!


This is me and Wilson (the only picture of me in the hospital that looked even remotely okay to post).


Wilson and his daddy. Ryan has been so wonderful with him. He takes such good care of the both of use. Wilson LOVES his daddy!!! And they look so much alike!


This is a good picture of all of his hair.

And we have baby!

After nearly a full 24 hours in labor, the young fella has arrived! He was kind of hesitant and slow to come down, kind of like a little kid that is scared to go down a waterslide but then finally the lifeguard pulls him down the waterslide as he tries his hardest to cling to it the whole way down. He just loved it so much in there and didn't want to come out. He weighed in at 7 lbs 3 oz and measured 21.5 inches. He has a pretty good head of dark brown hair and he is adorable! (He definitely gets the adorableness from his mom). We will have pictures of little Wilson Riley up soon enough.

Here He Comes!

This post is coming to you from the hospital. Mindi's water broke at 6:30 this morning and our little guy is on his way. By Tuesday morning, we should have a little baby! The only problem is we still haven't decided whether to name him Rastus Revenge Madongo Hettinger or Neptune Renegade Hettinger. I guess we better figure that out quick!

What can I say....He is just wonderful!

If you know anything about my husband Ryan it is that he is a Utah fan through and through. Ryan and I have season tickets the Utah football and last Thursday was the big Utah VS TCU blackout game. Ryan and I found ourselves in a bit of a dilemma. That night we also had our third trimester baby class (Ryan likes to refer to the class as baby catching class). I knew how important that game was to our season and to Ryan and I wanted to go also so I told Ryan we should skip class and go to the game. To my surprise Ryan told me that I could go to the game without him, but he was going to the class. He told me that he loved me and our baby more than the game and wanted to learn about the stuff that would be covered in class. Needless to say despite mocking from family members and friends we went to class oh and Utah beat TCU. Go UTES!!!
