Riley Graham Gelling
Yeah! At last he has arrived! I am too tired to post a whole thing right now, but for anyone waiting on pictures, you can check 'em out at:

And, thank you in particular to Brendan for getting us RileyGelling.com. There's nothing on it yet, but that will soon change as well. What an AWESOME baby gift!!!
Mom, Dad and Kid are all recovering well. Very very freaky sleep schedule so far, but we are rocking right along. Having my parents here has been FABULOUS, as it means we can actually get 3-4 hours of sleep in a row with somebody else to take a turn watching over/responding to the kid's needs. Plus, I haven't had to cook in almost a whole week!!
We haven't been too verbal yet, as exhaustion is a serious factor. Please forgive our faux pas, and I PROMISE we'll call and get in touch with everyone when we know what day or time it is on Earth.
The baby is great! He's intense and serious and pretty quiet. Riley loves to sleep a million hours a day right now. He loves to stare, and looks very skeptical most of the time. Kinda resembles Winston Churchill when his eyes are open. His head is shrunken back down to a totally normal shape and size now, and his little "stork bites" (that's REALLY what they call that rash...?!?) on the face are gone now too. He actually looks like a normal kid, for now. We are both quite puzzled by the dark, dark hair, but allegedly that will all fall out and be replaced by his "real" hair, which can be any color at all. I know Graham is pulling for red. I kinda like the crazy blackish-brown stuff as is. The eyes are definitely that deep bluish-navy color that will be determined later as well. Other than that, he's a baby. Of course, the very BEST baby....
So, for now, I am off to feed the monkey. Will update a longer, more detailed post later.
