Introducing Baby Ty

Ty Joshua Waldron made his debut on September 18, 2008 at 9:37 am. He weighed in at 9 lbs. 5 oz. and 21 inches long. He is one big little guy!

We went into the hospital at 2 am last Wednesday, the 17th. My contractions were 4 minutes apart and I was dilated 4 cm. An hour later they broke my water and Ty was born 6 1/2 hours after that. The delivery went really well considering his size. Ty was actually easier to push out than Macie who weighed a pound less! I can't believe how fast my recovery was too, it's been great.

As a mom going from one child to two, I was nervous about the transition for me and how I would feel about having another baby. When your world revolves around one child it's hard to imagine time for another. I had a great delivery experience just like I did with Macie, and it all felt very familiar having a newborn again. Holding a precious new baby is an indescribable experience and I feel so lucky to have another child in our family.

Macie met Ty just 30 minutes after he was born and was very excited. My mom said Macie talked about him the whole morning and how he would have a little hat on his head and be wrapped in a blanket. She is always concerned about him and asks to hold him quite often. She likes to give him kisses and play with his little hands and feet. I can't blame her, they're so cute!

The proud daddy with his new son. Macie and I like to tell Josh we're doing things only for girls, but now he has his own buddy for only boy time too.

Our cute little guy is a good sleeper so far.

Our attempt at a family picture. Ty wasn't too happy about it.

He makes the cutest faces when he's alert. We have fun with this little guy and have had a great week loving a new baby in our home.
