Aliya's fist days home


It's been quite a week. We've been adjusting to life as a new family and are having a great time with our new baby girl. We are loving every minute of being parents and enjoy watching Aliya do new things every day. She is a very good eater and sleeper and had a great 1 week check up at the dr. That sure made our day. Here are some pictures from her first days at home.

















Aliya's journey home

Here is Aliya's first car ride - she slept all the way home from the hospital.

















When we got home from the hospital Aliya was greeted by grandma and grandpa Butzen and aunt Annie.


















Grandma Rivera also made the trip out East shortly after she was born.

It's a ...

Baby Girl!!!

Announcing Aliya Riley Rivera. She made her grand entrance into the world at 4:53 a.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 9. She weighs 8 pounds exactly and is 19.5 inches long. She is absolutely gorgeous, of course we're biased, and most importantly healthy. We love her to pieces already.

Still Waiting...

Well, peanut's due date was Friday, Nov. 28 - Black Friday.... But, here we are nearly a week later and we're still waiting. Apparently Black Friday shopping wasn't enough to stir him/her up to come out and meet us.

We hope to have good news to share soon!
