It's a boy...

Ty Christian has arrived!! He was born on Thursday February 5th at 12:53 in the afternoon and shares a birthday with his Lolo. He weighed 7 lbs, 5 oz and is 21 inches long. He is absolutely amazing and has forever changed his Mommy and Daddy! We are so in love with every cell of him, he is truly our little miracle.
On Wednesday morning at 4:30 am I had my first sign of impending labor... or at least I had hoped so. I went to work and quizzed all the moms about their experiences and found myself in a big grey zone. Some women went into labor within hours, some within days and others within weeks of losing the "plug". So I just continued to tell myself if would be another three weeks before my little bundle of joy would arrive.




After having a brief talk with my Grandmas in heaven asking them and God to "Please help me have a baby tonight", Christian and I went to bed at 10:00 and I woke up at 10:30 to learn my water had broken. "Okay", I thought, "this has to be it...". We packed up and left for the hospital. My contractions were quite intense to say the least and are accompanied by some pretty funny stories that Christian tells best! I began pushing at 10:30 am on Thursday and Ty was born two and a half hours later.






Thank you for all of your thoughts and prayers, they were successful! Ty is a healthy baby boy and Christian and I are doing very well. We certainly could not be any happier. We love staring at him in amazement and are absolutely in love with our new family! We have some rest to catch up on, that's for sure... Ty has stuck to his pregnancy plan and sleeps well during the day and stays up and active at night.





He had his first bath at home yesterday; I think he'll be happier when we can sit him in the water to help keep him warm unlike yesterday since we needed to keep his umbilical cord dry. He was a trooper though. His favorite parts were getting water poured over his back and cuddling in the froggie towel his Daddy bought him many months ago. So darn adorable!
