Baby Tyler!!!

Well these last 9 days have just been crazy. I am finally getting around to the pictures that I have promised my sister, and rest of the family. So here is the story and all the pictures to go with!!

I was scheduled to have a c- section on the 11th almost 2 weeks before my due date. Everything of course was scheduled around that date including my parents coming up to help with the kids. So on Wednesday morning the 6th at 2:45 am when my water broke I almost had a panic attack. I had no one to watch the kids no back up plan, nothing. And let me just say having your water break on its own, instead of the Dr. doing it in the hospital, is quite the experience to say the least. I can't even imagine having that happen in a public place. I was embarrassed enough walking into the hospital while leaking fluid. After hitting my hubby ( who had only been in bed for an hour because of homework) to tell him what had happened we were able to get a hold of my sister ( who had only been asleep for an hour due to fun college life :-) and have her come watch the kids!! Thanks April you are a life saver!! We got to the hospital and after some test to check if my water was really broken ( whatever, of course it was, did they think i just walk around and continually wet my self) they called the Dr. and we were able to finally get he ball rolling. Our precious Tyler was born at 7:56 am and was a whopping 5 lbs 15 oz. and 19 inches long. I don't know why but beside Jakob my babies have all been teeny tiny. I would just like to say that I was so nervous that my kids would be so bent out of joint when Tyler came along, but it has been just the opposite and love him so much and have been the best helpers and love to snuggle and kiss Tyler as much as they can!!! I also need to thank everyone who helped us on Wednesday. When My water first broke I texted my mom and jokingly told her to start driving ( they live in Washington) cause my water just broke. Well she was not messing around and both her and my dad were in the car and on there way here with in an hour. She also took over calling people who could help watch the kids till they got here so Colin and I wouldn't have to stress about it. My parents have been life savers. Thanks Dad for coming and helping with the kids. And Mom I would not be surviving if it were not you. Thank you for coming and staying and be willing to sleep on an air mattress for 2 weeks and take care of everything for me. I love you guys!! I also need to thank Ryan and Stacy Graham for first of all answering their phone so early and also for taking the kids for a while. You were such a big help, thank you!!! And then of course to my sister April and brothers for each taking turns watching the munchkins and for driving them up to the hospital. Thanks for making everything run so smoothly.

Tyler is such a sweet baby. He loves to snuggle and be held. He has had jaundice and has had to use a Billi blanket to bring his numbers down . But he has been a trooper. And we love him. I think we have decided that he resembles Conner's baby pictures the most, so we will see if that holds or if his looks will be totally different. Here are a ton of pictures of our cute Tyler!! Enjoy!!
