The Greene's visit

The Greene's came down to visit for a week to meet baby Bryce and hang with the kids.  We went to the beach and played in the sand and the boys all went to the Padres vs Giants game and got to go on the field during batting practice.

On Sunday they took Braydon and Siena to Disneyland for three days!  The best Auntie and cousins ever!  The kids were in heaven and Craig and I got some quality alone time with Bryce while they were playing.

They got to stay at the Paradise Pier hotel and watch fireworks from the room. 

Our little thrill seeker Siena went on the Cars ride twice and Space Mountain and Thunder Mountain.

A highlight of the trip was meeting the Zootopia characters.

And Braydon got to be a Jedi in training!   Something he's been dying to do forever!

Aunt Cristin and Uncle Chris fly down to meet Bryce

Uncle Chris is a pilot so he and Aunt Cristin flew down to Palomar Airport in a small airplane and we greeted them when they landed.  The kids loved it!  Craig went up in the air with Chris and took the "wheel" for the first time.  It was a great experience.  

Lil Browski

Braydon and Siena LOVE their little brother to pieces!  When they walk in the door they don't even barely say hi to me anymore, they run straight to Bryce and hold him and hug him and kiss him.  Braydon calls him Little Browski which we think is pretty funny.  Braydon stares at him and talks about how cute he is or "Mom, he's going to have curly hair" or "Look he's smiling in his sleep".  He's a very loved little boy!

Bryce Arthur Schwarz is born! July 4, 2016

I had a doctor visit on Thursday June 30th and due to my blood pressure and contractions we decided it would be best to move the C Section to July 4th, making Bryce a 4th of July baby!  We went in at 10am and he was born at 12:39pm.  The doctor held him up and said "He's a big boy!"  and he is!  He weighed in at 8 pounds 9 ounces and 20 inches long (although a few days later he measured 21.25 inches) and he has a full head of brown hair!  He's super strong and the most mild mannered baby.  We donated his cord blood and they told us it was the biggest cord blood donation in their history.  He's already breaking records ;)  He scored a 8/9 on his Apgar although when he came out he had a hard time clearing the liquid from his lungs so they had to do a special thing to him with tubes and suction to get it out.

Craig and I and Bryce stayed in the hospital for several days and the kids came to visit each day with Mimi and Grampy.  Grandma and Granda Schwarz came to visit on the 4th as well.  Braydon and Siena LOVE him!  They fight over who gets to hold him and give him tons of hugs and kisses.  I overheard Braydon telling him he's "like a brand new really cool Lego".

His weight is in the 78th percentile and height is 96th.  He LOVES to eat and sleep and smiles and grunts in his sleep.  He's the greatest blessing and addition to our now complete family of 5!

The day before delivery.  Momma had a BIG belly!

First time we laid eyes on each other.

The first time the kids met Baby B!  They LOVE him!

Headed home!
