Aiden James Grigsby arrived on Saturday, September 6th. He weighed 6 pounds and was 17 3/4 inches long.
I know this blog is a little late, but only five days after Aiden was born we had to evacuate for hurricane Ike. Traveling from Houston to Frisco (just north of Dallas) with a 5 day old and a new mom was not a lot of fun. It took 7 hours due to long stops for breastfeeding and diaper changes. Fortunately, when we finally
made it to Frisco we were in good hands with our friends Scott & Leah. Leah, an experienced mother of two was more than helpful with Aiden and spoiled me rotten by waiting on me hand and foot (which was great since I was still recovering from my c-section). Scott, a doctor, was a comfort to have around with a newborn...we already had several of medical questions while we were there & Aiden even got an exam (and passed with flying colors!). We cannot thank them enough for their generosity and hospitality during that difficult time.
So far we are almost one month into our life with child and he has already changed so much. Aiden has gained a little over a pound and has grown 3 inches! I think he looks more like Adam each day but he has my lips (check out his picture to see what you think). He has blonde hair and blue eyes. For the most part he just sleeps and is not too interested in toys or people. We catch little smiles now and then (which is probably gas) - and we look forward to when those smiles will be directed towards us. Aiden loves to take naps in his swing, go for walks, and be cuddled by mom or dad.
We are truly blessed with a beautiful son & we look forward to sharing our new experiences with friends and family.
