The Wolcott Family's "new colt" !!
« on: October 06, 2016, 09:29:52 PM »
Well, Ryan Benjamin Wolcott arrived this morning at 8:11 am.  He was 4 lbs. 9 oz, and 17" long.  Not much baby fat, but long arms and legs and THANKS TO ALL MY FRIENDS HERE FOR THEIR PRAYERS....he is doing just fine!!

Again, I can't thank you enough for the prayers for his safety.  Mom and baby doing fine, and my son Benjamin is "over the moon" !!

Yes, with all the plane flights delayed, and planes moved away from the east coast or put in hangers, that's NOT surprising!

I'll be looking for it, and let you know when they arrive!!  Can't wait!

Hope it's on time and not lost in the mail with the storm on the coast.  Tracking still says Tuesday, but still hasn't been scanned again since leaving our state hub.

I thought today was a government holiday, as it's Columbus day, but tracking says it was delivered to your front door today. I sure hope it's there for you.  [About noonish today, according to tracking.]

Beautiful little Ryan, welcome to our crazy mixed-up world!! I'm sure your adopted aunties and uncle will be following your life with great interest and many prayers and blessings.

My twins were a little heavier than you when they were born at 36 weeks. They've grown into two beautiful people. I wish the same for you.

Back up to 4 lbs 6 ozs, as he lost a little weight, which was expected.  But he's eating well, and had his first visit with the Pediatrician, who said he's doing just fine.

I haven't seen him this week, as I got sick on Monday.  Guess this crazy school schedule finally caught up with me.  Not as young as I used to be, and my body just needed a day off, I guess, since I haven't had a day off since the 10th of September going to class each weekend. So I was home yesterday and today trying to quit coughing and get rid of my fever.  Don't want to infect the little guy, so I will hopefully see him in a few days when I'm better.

My twins weighed less than him, so I reminded Ben that he will still grow into a strapping young man, even though we're starting out small.  Ben is over 6 feet along with his twin, in fact all my kids are over 6 feet, so he's got a lot of growing to do!!

wow, you grew some big colts and fillies.
Do you mind if I ask how tall you are?  Or does it come from their dad?
Sorry you've been under the weather, hope you are better soon, so you can get your hands on that little one again, soon.
