Baby Riv

Rivers David Foust was born on Dec 4th at 9:26 am. he was 8lbs 13oz and was 22 inches long. He is such a big baby! I went in on the third at 8pm to be induced. They induced me at 10 and it seemed to go by so fast from there. I started pushing at 8 am and he was here just an hour and a half later. He is such a good baby and we are totally in love with him!!


he was just a few minutes old here and look at those cheeks!

Wow, he's so cute and HUGE. Well I definitely feel for you, having a baby more than 1/2 lb bigger than me!! I hate to ask, but did you tear or have an episiotomy (sp?) or what? I just hope you heal fast. Gage was such a good sleeper since he was big so I bet you'll have the same luck. Glad you're doing well, you look great.

Yay! That is so exciting! That is great that labor went so quick for you- my induction lasted a lot longer!!! He is so cute- and such a chunk. Enjoy him while he is "tiny" though cause it doesn't last long!

I'm so happy for you guys! Way to go. And he couldn't be sweeter or cuter! Love the hair, and love that he was so big. I love big babies myself. Maybe you can work up to a 10 pounder by your 4th like me :)
