Xander's 2nd week

Grandma and Grandpa Rich came to visit in Xander's 2nd week,  they have been staying with us and helping with the baby.  Xander is still very cranky--but only when he is awake:)  We also went on his first outing-to see Xander's cousins and his great-grandma!

Xander at 1 Week!

In Xander's first week all his family came to visit.  Mom stayed with me for the first week, and all the boys (dad, Zack, and Paul) came by after their trip to California.  He certainly has his cranky times, but we are learning and he is growing more beautiful every day!

Xander is here!

Michael Alexander Rich (Xander) was born on Saturday, March 7th at 12:54 p.m.  We went into the hospital at 2 a.m. but after the epidural-there was no pain and Xander was born very easily! We are very grateful for modern medicine!


Rachel and Erik were there for the birth, and my mom, dad, Lexi, and Zack showed up soon after he was born. Becca, Jon, Katie and Tracy all visited us in the hospital!

Xander had some jaundice and was not sleeping well for the first few days.  But he got a clean bill of health from his doctor today!  Plus he slept most of the night last night-without any screaming!
