On Thursday, February 16, 2012 at 9:13 am we welcomed Tyler Lane Teasley in this world, our family, and our hearts. He came in weighing 8 lbs. 8.8 oz. and was 20 1/2 inches long. He was by far the most beautiful thing I had ever seen in my life and of course came to me just as perfect as I knew he would be. It was a bit chaotic getting him here, but once he arrived everything just simply seemed to fit into place. Chad and I couldn't be happier! We spent 2 days in the hospital and we were all very glad to finally get to come home Saturday. Although I can't possibly say enough good things about the entire staff at CTMC in San Marcos. Everyone there couldn't have been more helpful and we loved all the nurses, of course I have loved my doctor all along, and the lactation specialists, and on call pediatrician were all AMAZING!!!
Once we arrived home things kind of calmed down. We were both still a bit traumatized from the whole experience, but we began to find our groove. The first day was great, then on Sunday Tyler developed a bit of a tummy ache so Momma got to spend the night sitting in the recliner so he would get some sleep. Luckily Nana was here to help out and we made it through the night. Since Monday, though, we have been doing great! Tyler has to be one of the happiest babies I have ever been around. He sleeps most of the night (only waking once or twice to eat with little to no crying), and during the day he will stay bright-eyed for hours just looking around at what the world has to offer with no fuss.
We have had many firsts. On Monday Nana gave Tyler his first sponge bath, on Tuesday he had his first visit at the pediatrician, and today is the first day to be just Momma and Tyler by ourselves. We loved having Nana here to help, but it's been nice to see how well we are making it on our own during the day. I think we are both already looking forward to Daddy and Hailey coming home, but I absolutely LOVE spending all this quality time with him!
I will say that I had thought I would get some things done around the house since I'm home now, but between feedings, dirty/wet diapers, and sleeping, there's not much time for anything else!
I will do my best to stay on top of the blog now that I "kinda" know what I'm doing. Until then I will be home cuddling with the new love of my life!
