Alexander Bartley Rivera

Before the procedure....those contractions were killing me (but I'm glad I went into labor on my own.)
Here he is.....sweet little boy!
Mami holding him for the first time. He was a really good nurser....like he's been doing it for years.

Isabella giving her "new baby" a kiss. She loves her new baby Alexander.

Mami and Papi after the recovery period was over and we were allowed to have a room.

Papi holding Alexander for the first time. He was so excited to have a son. Ronald is such a good Papi. I love my husband.


Isabella loves to rub Alexander's hair. When she first saw him, she just kept rubbing his head over and over.
Checking out the new baby.

Holding Alexander for the first time. She loves to hold him.
Sleepy boy
Our new family of four. Isabella requested that she hold the baby. What a good big sister.
This is when Isabella saw Alexander for the first time. She was so excited! Brandon was playing peek-a-boo with him.


Our sweet baby boy came into this world on Saturday, October 11, 2008. He was born at 7:25pm, weighed 7lbs 8 ozs, and was 20 inches long. He is a very calm baby, and LOVES to eat. Isabella is a very good big sister, although she is having a little trouble adjusting to sharing mami. Alexander loves his big sister. We are very glad that this sweet baby is here, and that we are home now.

Wow all the pictures were soooo good! I got so excited when I saw that you made a post, yay! That means I can call you and talk to you! I've been trying my best to give you some space but I must say, I'm dying to talk to you! I love the picture of Isabella holding Alexander and kissing him, the one of you and Ronald holding Alexander and the new family picture with all four of you. It's a crime to look that gorgeous after giving birth Caitlin, you look gorgeous! Alexander is such a little chunk already and he is sooo darling and handsome already! I can't wiat to come and hold him soon!

Oh my goodness! Congratulations! Here I was thinking you were being induced this week...Stake Conference sure threw me off!

He's beautiful. And see? Those husbands can just sense when they're going to have a son.

Please let us know when we can bring you dinner! Yay! Seth has a friend!

Oh, we couldn't be happier for you! He is absolutely beautiful! Just when you thought there couldn't be a cuter kid than isabella...and now you have two! Give yourself a good two weeks of just holding that baby...everything else will still be there later, but our little ones grow so fast! Isn't being a momma the best!?!?!?

Congratulations Sweetie! You have such a beautiful family. (And by the way, how do you look so fabulous after having a baby? I need the secret for my next one!)

He is such a handsome little boy! I'm so happy for you! I secretly wanted you to have a boy. I think it's awesome that you now have a little girl and boy. Way to go!
