Welcome! Parker Ryan Netherton!

I have a new nephew!!! Alden has a new cousin!! His first BOY cousin!! :)

Parker was born yesterday, May 28th at 10:09 AM. 7 lbs 2 oz. Congratulations to my sister and Brother-In-Law Sarah and Clint! :)

Sunday night I got a call from my dad saying that my sister went into labor. He was heading to the hospital will my mom and they were watching my sister's girls, Alexie and Emma. I said I would watch the girls for them so they could go be with my sister. Around 10 PM that night, the girls showed up and I set up a sleep-over bed on the living room floor. Thank goodness Lyndon agreed to sleep on the couch with them so they wouldn't get scared. There was no way at 7 months pregnant I could comfortably sleep on the couch.

We got up the next morning around 8 AM and I made some breakfast. Lyndon didn't have to work because it was Memorial Day. What a blessing! We were planning on going to the Zoo, but we didn't go. My dad called and told me she was almost ready to deliver. I told him to call back when the girls could head over to see their new baby brother!

To stall (Since the girls knew what was going on... they are 7 and 5 years old) I had them take baths, I did their hair and we went to the store that is about a block away from our house to get some gifts for little Parker. Emma picked out booties, shampoo and diapers. Alexie picked out a blanket, socks, and lotion. They also got a balloon for him.

We made it to the hospital about 1 hour after she delivered. The girls were so excited. They did so good walking through the hospital. Nice and quiet. They even got to hold him for a minute before he was passed back to Mom to eat. :) The day was quite an adventure.

We are very excited to have Parker in our family! He will definitely be loved.

Parker has more hair than Alden, and Alden is 16 months old! He's definitely a cutie pie!
