3 weeks old

Baby RC is three weeks old today! We celebrated with a hip ultrasound! The radiologist and pediatrician agreed that everything looked normal. Woo hoo!

Looking hip for her hip ultrasound.

Underwhelmed by the whole process

Good help is hard to find

Rylan came back a little disheveled after a diaper change with Pop.

A few firsts

This week we went for our first walk and introduced Rylan to Uncle Matt, Aunt Romina, Uncle Warren and Aunt Maureen. Rylan also started "playing" with a developmental toy Aunt Romina gave her.

She was unsure about the stroller

Clearly she's a genius 

She showed off her "breechy" legs to Aunt Maureen

Uncle Matt was a little nervous about holding a baby but he ended up being a natural

Two week appointment

Rylan had her second doctor's appointment today. She is 11 days old, 6lbs 9 ounces and 19 inches long. She is up 5 ounces from her birth weight.

Sunday Funday

Rylan's first Sunday home the Chargers traveled to Green Bay to take on the Packers.

She's still trying to decide which team she will cheer for.

Because one picture just wasn't enough...

Happy Birthday Pop!

We celebrated Pop's birthday with a sushi lunch. It was our first outing and a huge success (meaning Rylan slept the whole time)

Visitors!

Rylan had the pleasure of visiting with Nana, Papa, Grandma and the Otto's. She loved every second.

Meeting GG for the first time! 

Like all the grandchildren- she clearly loves Papa already 

So excited to meet Uncle Austin

Taylor was very excited to meet his new cousin but made sure he checked on me and that I was okay first. He held my hand every time a nurse came in to check on me. He is the sweetest little boy I've ever met. 

Sharing Grandma

Reese just wanted to make sure everyone remembers she's still #1! 

Going Home

Two short days after we checked in, we headed home as a family of three!

Rylan borrowed Reese's going home outfit

First time in the car seat! Slept like a champ.

Welcome to the world Rylan Cecelia McCartney!

The day started off early by choice with breakfast at San Diego's oldest bar for those that were up for it. Sean and Papa even enjoyed a beer despite the fact it was 6am.

After breakfast we headed home for a few last minute chores and one final nap!

After everything was finalized at home we headed to the hospital around noon for check in and pre-surgery prep! It was starting to sinking in that our time as a family of two was rapidly coming to an end. While we prepared to meet our baby for the first time our support team hung out in the waiting room patiently awaiting updates.

At 2:47pm we welcomed our little girl into the world! She weighed 6 lbs 4.7 ounces and was 18 inches long. 

We thought she was absolutely perfect. 

Pop had the honor of changing the first diaper. Actually he changed the first 20 or so diapers since I couldn't get out of bed. He was the best care person in the whole world! Rylan and I are lucky girls!
