More pictures

I don't have time to write a real post, but here some pictures from the last week or so. Tyler is doing great. He is very mellow and sweet and such an easy baby. He weighed 9lbs 8oz at his appointment on Monday, so he's growing good, too.

Baby Tyler has arrived!

Our sweet little Tyler arrived October 5th, 2009 at 6:50pm. He weighed in at 8lbs 7oz and is 20 inches long. My labor was less than ideal since my epidural tubing came out of my back and no one knew for several hours, but they got a new one put in just before it was time to push, so the delivery was simple. Kenzie and Cierra were both able to be in the delivery room with us, which was neat. When they broke my water, they said that I had 1-2 gallons of amniotic fluid, so that's why I looked like I was carrying twins. Because of that and because of some of the things they saw on the ultrasounds, they did a few tests on Tyler just to make sure that everything was okay and it is. The hydrocele that they saw on the ultrasound is still there, but is small and shouldn't require surgery. So, overall, he got a clean bill of health. My recovery has been pretty easy physically, but emotionally it's been hard because Erick had to go back to NM when Tyler was only a few days old and we're not sure when he'll be back because money is tight.

The kids adore him, even Caden. They fight over who gets to hold him next. Tyler is pretty much the sweetest little baby ever. He rarely cries and is so mellow. I am so grateful for an easy baby, since I'm doing this all by myself. Here are some pictures of our newest addition.
