Finally the day we have waited on for so long is here! Tyson Isaiah was born July 1, 2008. He is now 10 days old and life has changed completely! I know we hear everybody say this over and over, but I never knew love could be this strong, could make my heart stop at one glance, I never knew I could give so much of myself to another little life.
Mommy and baby are doing great (he is sleeping right now, so I can blog for the first time!)
Tyson came out like a champ at 7pds.And 4 oz. We had to stay in the hospital for a week and Tyson spent time in intensive care for the first day. We went through MANY hours of labor before the doctors finally decided a caesarean was needed. I guess he is stubborn like his mom! He just was not going to budge. I pushed for almost 4 hours, so that was that. We were both tired and needed a plan B at that point. Coming home from the hospital was a major transformation, but it went a lot smoother than I thought.
If you know me well, you know I have dogs, so we had to allow a slow transition to allow the puppies to understand what was going on. It only took about 24 hours and the dogs transitioned great. They actually check on Tyson constantly to make sure their new little friend is OK. Life being a new mommy is the best job I have ever had (not that I don’t love Jeff and Skip –ha-ha). The sleepless nights and around the clock care has come very easy to me. Yes, it is hard and we catch ourselves rubbing our eyes, but I cannot get enough of my baby boy! Everyday it’s something new. It makes me smile just to get a glimpse of his eyes slowly opening. He is exploring the world we take advantage of everyday, but think about it, everything is new to him. It’s the gift of innocence. It’s the beauty of the unknown. God is good. One thing I have learned the most through this experience is that the best things in life are unplanned. It’s the one’s that knock us off our feet when we least expect it. Love is the most powerful force in this world.
Ok- Baby needs a bottle! I will check back in very soon!!! Don’t forget to check out the website 987simon.com to see pics as I put them up. Thank you for all your love, prayers, and support.
