River Salem
Prince (0)
We welcomed our son
River Salem
Prince on
April 14. We were trying for a baby and were successful :). I bought a little outfit that said "I love my daddy", and put it in a bag as a present for
Tony.
He was so shocked, and happy when he found out. We did the same thing for our parents, but with grandparents on them. We kept going back in forth on if we wanted to find out the gender, in the end we had to find out we just couldn't wait. I liked more out there names, and he seemed somewhat hesitant with those types, but was in the end one over.
He now loves unusual names.
I gave birth to
Rio (as we sometimes call him) at home in water. Overall it was a lovely experience, but very painful! I thought I wasn't going to be able to handle it, but I did.
Tony, and a midwife were there with me surrounded by family.
Tony delivered
River, and cut the cord.
River was born at 12:30 PM on
April 14th weighing in at 8 lbs even, and 20 inches long.
We decided on the name
River because it's been my favorite name for a very long time. We gave him two middle names because we couldn't decide which one to use! Salem comes from our love of the Bible, we took it as a short version of Jerusalem, and
Prince because he's our little prince!
River is such a good baby, he's so cute.
He rarely cries unless he's hungry or tired.
He loves to play with his favorite toy a little boat we got him.
He is breastfeeding wonderfully, and we use cloth diapers for him. I also make organic baby food.
