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,
You rolled over for the very first time on Mother’s Day! What an awesome Mother’s Day gift. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to see it, but Bailey and Makenna did.
Two days later, you did it for me! I had just gotten you out of the bathtub and was drying you off on the floor. You don’t like being on your tummy. You were getting so mad and then you finally kicked yourself over. The look on your face was priceless. You had surprised yourself with your new amazing trick!
I love you, baby boy.
Love, Mommy
Today was our first full day here. Tyler did really well all night. He only got up twice to eat. Three and Six-Thiry.
We got up and met one of Gina’s friends at the Blue Dolphine for breakfast.
Using the 50mm Lens to take pictures of Tyler has captured some really good shots verses using the iPhone and making the Facebook shots. We still need to work on lighting and getting creative with some low buck lighting.
Dear Tyler,
You and I had to stay in the hospital for 48 hours following your birth. Daddy stayed with us the first night, sleeping on the fold-out couch in our room. I decided to let you stay in the nursery as I was very sleep deprived and exhausted. It was a long night as the nurses came in to check on me and push on my belly to check on my uterus every couple of hours. They brought you in to the room so that I could feed you whenever you were hungry.
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.
Gina and I got to the hospital a little after 6:00 am this morning. Gina was a little nervous. She asked if I was nervous. I said not really. 3rd time is a charm. She said yeah your not pushing a bowling ball out today.

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
