Rocking Ks: Calvin's Fan Club

After a night of sleep interrupted by two tiny cries (one resulted in me building a pillow cave on my hospital bed to hold your swaddled body next to mine so we could sleep together--it's tough when you miss your momma), the visitors flocked to see our little man. We tried our best to take photos of everyone that came to see us--Beth Lewerke escaped unphotographed! We entertained guests from morning until night (I got a little nap in there somewhere...pretty sure...). Here are photos of just a few of the 20 people he graciously entertained:

Great Aunt Patty and Great Uncle Todd and crazy cousin Halle flew all the way from Arizona to meet him. (Well, not exactly, but we're actually writing history here. Let's make it sound grand!) Since they were in visiting before anyone else, they each got to hold him as long as they could stand his cuteness. Doesn't he look handsome after his bath?!

Crazy Cousins. I'd say they are both pretty darn cute!

Great Uncle Dave, Mary Rose, and Great Grandma Keeling were in the next shift. G2K said that he was the first grand and great grand baby that she got to see and hold in the hospital. That's pretty impressive since she has 30. It was a special moment for her. And, I loved that she came to sit on the edge of my bed and talk with me about her births, who he might look like, how great it was that he was born while she was visiting, and how everyone was recovering. She is one proud G2K.

Again, people came from far and wide to meet the One And Only Calvin Maurice. Uncle Seamus flew in from Seattle to take this picture. He and his wife Meg are waiting for their first baby, too, so Seamus got a little practice in! This is a pretty good look for him, I'd say. Uncle Jeff also earned mad props for a baby holding session. These two earned lots of punches on their MFV (Most Frequent Visitor) and MVV (Most Valuable Visitor) cards. We're lucky and honored to have them as friends!
