Today Ty was sleeping a little longer than usual, so I decided to pump a little milk so the boys could feed Ty. Only Tucker was able to feed him, because Ty really wasn't feeling sucking on a bottle. It was so cute and Tucker was so excited he was able to feed his brother. Hopefully Ty will cooperate tomorrow so Trey will get his turn.
Tucker said "Ahhh I'm feeding him"
He was so happy he got to feed Ty!
Ty sound asleep in his car seat!We finally gave Ty is first bath at home. He was not a fan...not at all. So we hurried up and made it a quick one and man did he smell so good afterwords and he felt even softer than before. I love his soft newborn skin and hair! Hopefully the next bath goes a little better...I hate hearing him cry.
Ready for his bath.
Not happy about the bath at all.
He was happy it was over.
Vinny's with his 2 Red Drum fish..they were so heavy.
One was 37 inches and the other was 40 inches(the level is 2 feet long) and man they were heavy!
Agh...look at those faces....
Ty hanging out in the bouncer
I was trying to catch him smiling...and only got a half smile.
Another on of him almost smiling
Vinny's mom stayed with the boys while I was in the hospital so Vinny could stay there with me and then Vinny's dad drove over after work on Friday. The boys definitely had fun with their grandparents and they were a big help to have here, since those first few days after a c-section are pretty tough.
Well, I finally have a few minutes to actually do something on here besides post pictures. On Wednesday (11/11/09) I was scheduled to have a c-section at 7:30pm. My doctor told me to arrive around 5pm, but with us running a little bit behind and it being rush hour, it took us a little longer to get there and we arrived around 5:20 and when we got there the nurse told me my doctor was already ready and wants to start the c-section at 6pm...so we rushed through everything(which was actually kind of nice because it didn't leave me much time to think about what is to come in the operating room) and she started at 6:05...then at 6:34pm Ty Nolan was born! He was 7 pounds 13 ounces and 20 inches long and absolutely perfect :D It was a little weird having him in the evening, since Tucker was born in the morning and Trey was born mid-afternoon, but in a way it was kind of nice, because with my recovery time and Ty having to be in the nursery so much anyways for all of the assessments and such, they would just bring him in to be fed and I actually got some sleep...not really good sleep, but at least it was something.
Thursday morning, I was up out of bed right away and felt pretty good for it only being a little over 12 hours after surgery. I was pretty motivated to get up and move around because I was hoping that would get me out of the hospital sooner rather than later. Vinny went home to get the boys and his mom and they came and met Ty for the first time! It was funny when the boys came in the room, they looked at me sitting in the bed and headed straight for the little couch in the room. Trey gave me this look...I can't quite explain it, but he really wasn't sure about me being in that bed. But they both came over and gave me kisses. It was good to see them...the only time I am really away from them is when they are at school, so this seemed like a long time and I really did miss them. The boys were very excited to meet their brother and were so sweet to Ty, giving him hugs and kisses and loving all over him! For me it was so amazing how much they love Ty and how excited they are he is here. It is so different from when I had Trey, Tucker really didn't have a clue what was going on. The boys didn't really last too long at the hospital...and who could really blame them....so Vinny took them home. My friends Chanel and Kim came to meet Ty. It was fun to have them visit and Kim even changed a diaper! They were so sweet and brought me a plant and some fun stuff for the boys to keep them busy at the hospital! Later that evening my friend Crystal came to meet Ty also and brought Ty an adorable outfit and a cute little stuffed dog. Thank you guys for visiting...It was nice to have some company and I love you girls! Speaking of friends...thank you to all of you who congratulated us and sent us your love....we really appreciate all of you and your thoughts and prayers!
Friday morning, my doctor came in the room early and checked up on things and told me we were going home sometime that day! We were definitely excited and the day seemed to drag on...and we finally got home that evening...it was a pretty good stay at the hospital....I had a c-section and was home in just about 48 hours...it was awesome! The boys were so excited we were home! They played with Ty and held him. Trey put Ty's pacifier in his mouth and was so excited he got to "help" Ty...he yelled "I did it, did you see, I put it in his mouth, he's sucking it!!!" I love it, Ty will definitely be very loved!!!
Since we have been home, it has actually been pretty easy. They boys are still very excited and very helpful! They are always checking on him and asking to hold him and giving him lots of love and kisses. Our dog Terry is very alert and every time Ty whines or cries she is pacing back and forth between me or Vinny and Ty whining herself, just to make sure we know there is something going on with Ty. Our cats really don't seem to care what so ever. Ty is a very good eater and a very good sleeper....overall he is a really good baby! I just love him so much and we are all so happy he is finally here!!!
