This past summer, I started my internship 3 weeks earlier than Ryan did. During that time, he got to know my awesome cousin, Shelly, and her 5 kids while helping them out on the farm. :) Ryan is a very hard worker, and became an expert and spreading wood chips (heavy-duty East Coast mulch) with the tractor.
When Ryan would come in for a break, lunch, or a drink, he would reach for Shelly's awesome hospital mug that she'd received 10 years earlier at the birth of her son at the Utah Valley Regional Center in Provo, Utah. He became addicted to the 32 oz mug, and soon it was his constant companion.
Because I wasn't delivering in Provo, a conversation about the mug came up. I mentioned that I didn't know if the U gave out mugs. Ryan's response: "What?" "Why do you think I agreed to this?" Ha. That's my Ryan.
After delivering Adrielle, the nurses and my sister-in-law, Erin escorted me to my room. Everyone else had gone with the baby to the nursery. When I got into the room, the first thing I noticed was a beautiful, 32 oz mug on the hospital table. :) Ryan is one lucky boy.
Before we left the hospital, we took a few snap shots of Ryan with his new companion (which has actually ended up being my new companion).

Gotta Love This Boy!

I love my mug from delivery too! Why did you deliver at the U?
We love our U of U mug! Go Utes! Or as Ariel would say: "Go Ute(mug)s!"
:) I delivered at the University of Utah because I was considered "high risk" with a pelvic kidney, and I looked for the best high risk clinic. My doctor was incredible, and delivery went well (really, the birth story IS coming, I promise), so I'm glad I was up there. Plus, it really was a nice hospital and I felt they gave me the individual attention I needed. :)
