What they say is true. The baby gets to do everything sooner. Carsyn watched TV at 2 years. Ty is watching it at 2 weeks.
Carsyn was watching a Dora show and wanted baby brother to join her. So I said, sure. Let me get him all set up.
PS…band aid on Carsyn was self applied. The wound was self inflicted. She had a blanket over her head and walked into a wall.
Carsyn found a pair of sunglasses for her and baby brother. What a lucky guy to have such a cool big sister!
Carsyn adores her new baby brother. She likes to snuggle with him and give him kisses. I thank the Lord she is so sweet and kind with Ty.
Carsyn is handling a new baby in her house really well. There are a few signs of stress and change, but none of them have manifested in a dislike of Ty. Once she’s asked if Ty could sit with Granny so she could sit with me, but for the most part she has been very generous. Carsyn has captured A LOT of special Daddy time that has really helped her feel secure and loved.
Baby boy is free! Daddy cut his hospital id bracelet off this morning. He’s been home since Saturday, but I just hadn’t taken it off. I’m not really sure why. Tony did the honors after Ty’s Newborn wellness doctor’s appointment.
While I was still in the hospital with Ty and Tony and Carsyn were home trying to get well…Carsyn asked Tony why he had his hospital bracelet on. He explained why he needed to wear it and told her he still had the bracelet he wore when she was in the hospital. Carsyn thought that was so cool and asked to see it. She was rather persistent and Tony was able to produce the bracelet from his night stand. It made her feel so special he still had her bracelet and it made me love him even more. How awesome to still hold on to that first identifying symbol of fatherhood.
Tony and I learned very quickly that when you have two children, sometimes you have to divide and conquer.
Carsyn was highly successful and found 21 eggs! Great job baby girl.
There was face painting and egg decorating. Carsyn even waited in line for an hour for a super cool bunny balloon.
Then there was the petting zoo. Carsyn loves her some animals. She has no fear and would probably want them all to live in our backyard.
Baby boy is finally here! We are so thrilled to announce the birth of Tyson Drake, a healthy little guy.
8 lbs, 2 oz and 20 inches long.
Born April 4, 2012. Tyson shares a birthday with his name sake, my grandfather, Ty Hargrove.
I had a scheduled c-section and everything went smoothly. I remember the doctor pulling Ty out and saying he was a big boy. Carsyn was 6 lbs, 14 oz, so big to me was anything over 7 lbs. They held him over the sheet so I could get a look and I saw those big cheeks. He weighed in at over 8 lbs. He IS a big boy. It feels good to be justified in my discomfort. People would ask how I was feeling and I would say heavy. 
Tony is enamored with his babies!
