Dear Tyler,

Today you giggled for the first time. I mean a full out belly laugh! You smile constantly, but daddy and I have been waiting to hear you laugh. I felt silly making funny faces and noises, but you loved it and kept giggling at me.

I love you, baby boy.

Love, Mommy

Dear Tyler,

We were scheduled to be at the hospital by 6am for our induction. Your daddy thought that was awful early and joked with me as to whether he could just meet me over there a little later in the morning. 🙂 Don’t worry…he was just kidding. He wouldn’t have missed your birth for anything.

Dear Tyler,

You were my 3rd pregnancy and I wasn’t sure what to expect since my other two were so completely different. Was I going to be throwing up the entire nine months like I did with Bailey or was I going to have trouble with pre term labor like I did with Makenna or was this going to be another unique experience? Well you ended up being another unique experience! Full of fun and adventure (most of the time…). At age 40, I was on the older end to be doing this again, but I still felt so young. Your daddy said that I looked at least 5 years younger very soon after getting pregnant. I’m sure some of it was the pregnancy hormones and some of it was just plain being happy and excited. One thing I knew for sure, I wanted to enjoy every single second of the pregnancy.

Dear Tyler,

On May 3rd, we found out we were expecting you. I had been feeling a little weird for a couple of days, so I was a little suspicious, but didn’t want to take a pregnancy test too soon. That day, I bought a pregnancy test on my way to work and was so anxious to know the results, that I took the test at work. Almost immediately, the results came back positive!!! I remember feeling so overwhelmed, but in a good way. We wanted you and had planned for you, but it was still so shocking that it had all happened so quickly.

I went through my work day in a daze. I didn’t want to tell your daddy I was pregnant over the phone or by email or text message, so I knew I would have to keep my secret until that evening. After work, I stopped by the store and bought a cute little baby outfit that said “Daddy Loves Me” and wrapped it up. When your daddy got home from work, I handed him the package. His birthday had just been 5 days earlier, so he thought I was giving him another birthday gift. When he opened it and saw the baby outfit, he looked confused at first and then once it all hit him, he must have said “wow” about 100 times. He was so happy and overwhelmed. It was a very special moment for us. Your daddy and I love each other very much, so we were more than excited to add you to our family. You would be joining big sister Bailey who was 18, but who would turn 19 by the time you were born, big sister Makenna who was 14 and big sister Heather who was 12.

Your due date was January 11, 2012 which seemed forever away.

We told your sisters that we were going to have a baby over dinner a couple of days after we found out. They were all SO excited and were hoping desperately that you would be a boy. Next we told both sets of grandparents and then slowly started telling the rest of our friends and family. Everyone was so excited for us and couldn’t wait for you to get here.

Love, Mommy
