Martina has c-sections, so this was all 'planned'. Originally we were just going to stay away (since it's a 3 hour trip) and we knew it would be hard to get away during the week. But last week Ryan mentioned that we probably should head over. It ended up working out perfectly - we took today off and surprised them by making the trip. It was awesome. I had mentioned to Blair last night that we were thinking of coming, but wanted it to be a surprise for Martina. We got to Sioux City and she wasn't quite ready for visitors yet... so we visited with Ryan's folks and Martina's folks, then it was time to meet Rhett.
Martina saw me first in the hallway... and she instantly had tears, which then made me tear up too. I loved it. I loved every second.
Anyway, we were able to spend about 4 hours at the hospital - not all with them, but just enough time to visit and snuggle on Rhett. Yeah, it was a short trip, but it was great.
We will go back the 18th of February with the kiddos... just us, spend some more time there and have the kids meet their new cousin.
Here are a few pics of the little guy. So sweet.
