Los Alamos, NM Oliver Ruxson (Rux) Privette

Today, our grandson, Oliver Ruxson (Rux) Privette, was welcomed to our world.  

Jessica started labor about 11:30 am.  The people in this picture left to right are: Rhonda (her best friend), George (Jessica's father), Beverly (George's wife) and Tic.  I'm taking the picture.  We've been waiting out here a while.  One nurse walked by and told us the baby had blonde hair. Of course two people with blond hair and blue eyes, you would expect the child to also have blond hair and blue eyes.

Finally we got this picture via text.  

A little later, the doctor came out.  Dr. Dawson is in the middle, obviously. 

 Three hours after Rux was born we were finally allowed back to see our new grandson.  James, Daddy, said he just got to hold him and he was not letting go.  We could not blame him.  We only stayed about 15 minutes.  We left about 7:45 pm.  

This picture came to me via text about 11:15 pm.  Isn't he a precious bundle.

We arrived at the hospital about 9:15am.  She was nursing and the doctor arrived just after we got there.  We waited in the waiting area again.  About 10am we got to go in.

Oh yes!  Nana W finally got to hold Rux.  Look at this reddish blonde hair.  He looks so much better today than he did just after birth.  What a surprise!

Rux even opened one eye for Tic.  

I got to hold him for at least 2 hours.  That makes for an elated Nana!

I was burping him.  He seemed to sleep right through it.  When he was wrapped like this, we called him a burrito bundle.  Too cute!

One of the nurses uncovered him in hopes to wake him up so he would nurse better. Didn't seem to bother him.

What a joy in my heart to watch my daughter as a mother!!

Rhonda came by while I was still there.  Don't they both look happy!

Rhonda's daughter, Jessica, came by also.  Rux seems happy just being held.  

What a blessed day it has been!
