Thanksgiving 2007

We have so many things to be thankful for this year. Tyler is now 2 months old and weighs 9 lbs.

With Daddy being a Longhorn and Mommy an Aggie things get alittle tense this time of year but....

I have to admit we were so pleased with the score of "The Football Game" 38-30...........Tyler salutes all you t.sips.

As Klayton would say "Go Ayyies"

Halloween 2007

Mommy couldn't decide whether he should be a baseball player or just dress in "glow in the dark" t-shirt and boxers (which I purchased at Build a Bear) and I was not the only preemie Mommy to do so. He slept most of the time but we did go door to door with his cousin Zachie.

Baptism October 21. 2007

Tyler and I got baptized on the same day. K3, Maw, and all the Wilson's were here to celebrate. It was also our one year anniversary. What a glorious day!

Our first night home

Clyde kept watch of little Tyler, he would sleep on the bottom of the bassinet. Tyler was so small his bed looks huge.

October 14, 2007

I haven't blogged in a while so I will try to catch everything up briefly. This is us in the NICU and we got the approval to take Tyler home. We were so surprised because he wasn't going to be released for a few more weeks.

His car seat has extra padding for his little head. He was so small, but he actually weight 5 lbs. Mommy was so proud.

Tyler is 2 weeks old

Tyler is 2 weeks old now and Klayton is 2 years old. We are going to miss Klayton's birthday but we will be there next year. Tyler weighs 3 lbs. 14 oz. He is above his birth weight. He continues to grow everyday and he eats all the time. One day at a time, and he will get to come home. I go every day at noon to feed him and then I return at 7pm for his evening feeding and so much happens, then when I go in the next morning something else has happened. It's all positive, he's now in a big boy bed and he is going to graduate to the nursery very soon. I may get there tonight and he's already moved up. It all happens so fast. I am very thankful and I appreciate all the comments. Happy Birthday Klayton, Aunt Laura loves you!!!

Tyler's first few days

I am new to blogging so this may not be very organized but I love reading Kelly's so I thought I'd give it a try. Tyler John was born Sept. 12th at 4:35 p.m. and he weighed 3lbs. 12oz., 17 inches long. My water broke on the 9th at 4 am, very strange feeling if you've never been through it, I thought I wet the bed. I did some laundry and packed the baby's bag while John frantically put the car seat in the car. Tyler was only 31 weeks so we thought we had alittle more time. We got to the hospital about 6 am, the doctor put me on magnesium which makes you feel like you have the flu plus a stomach virus, but this bought Tyler some time so his lungs could mature. When they took me off that awful medicine I went into labor 12 hours later, after 3 hours of contractions, the doctor decided on a C-section and I gladly agreed. Tyler is doing very well, he is 9 days old, eating and breathing on his own and he is ready to move up to the "feed and grow" area. He is eating 8 oz a day. I couldn't be happier. I want to thank all of my family: Maw, Kevin, Kelly, and Klayton for all your support and coming to visit especially the "surprise" visit. Suzanne, Mimi, Popo, Dean and Zachie for all your support and always checking up on us. Nicole, Jacob, Annette and Charlie for coming down to visit and see Tyler. Dad and Renee for calling me to make sure everything was ok. Aunt Marion for the support as well. All the gifts have been great and I will keep blogging.
