BABY is HERE!




So, I case you do not know. CANYON is here! He was born on Wednesday at 2:54p, after Jess's water broke at 7:45a. It was a beautiful day and everything went as well as it could.

I almost didn't make it to the delivery though. I needed to put Tildon down for a nap, the doc was sure she wouldn't have the baby for hours still at 1p. So I went home and put Tildon to sleep. At 2p, Sharon (My mother-in-law) called and asked if I was on my way because Canyon was crowning. So Keisha came to the house and I flew to the hospital, I was driving 70+ mph down the road in hopes of making it. Well I did make it, barely, but I did.

Canyon is still at the hospital, he is a little yellow so they are gonna put him under the lights for a bit. Because he was only 34 weeks he has a breathing issue but improving everyday. So everything is great. He loves to eat and sleep. All the things a baby should do.

Jess is doing well, she's excited because she fitting into here normal, non-preg cloths. SHe was discharged last night and is going to go back to try nursing today.

Tildon is really not understanding things yet. He knows Nan-Mur has been in town, that mommy and daddy have been in and out, and he met some baby that gave him a toy. Woody from Toy Story. But all in all, he's just excited mom and dad are home.

So that's that. I will post more as the info comes in. Thank you for the prayers and support.

Hott-mann! and busy




Sorry everyone, It's been super busy these past few months. So here it is in a very condensed short cliff-note version.

We have been surviving extreme heat, and a small hail storm on Easter. It's been 100+ since Mid-May. In the evening it drops to a chilly 95 degrees. Brrr. So here's a brief summary of each of us.

Me- Work is going well, it's been a bit of a transition because me getting adjusted to Texas, getting use to 40 work weeks, and learning about a product I have never used. Also the usual with Tildon and Jess being Pregnant. Which moves me right into my next person.

Jess- Jess has been pretty good overall, but she has been in and out of the hospital over the last few weeks because of contractions. No Idea why they are happening, but she having them. No other signs of the baby coming early or anything. So she has been so strong, but I know it's tough on her.

Tildon (Moose Man)- Tildon is doing amazing! He's has grown so much the past few months. He's all boy though, running jumping off the couch, throwing things. Just being a boy. He loves the sunshine and because is so warm, he loves swimming in his pool and playing outside. He is finally eating more than just Chicken Nuggets and chips and is a chatterbox, asking questions reading books and caring on conversations. I can tell he's ready for Canyon to get here.

Canyon (nick name established at a later date)- He's healthy and doing great. He's 34 weeks and is at this point as big as Tildon was at 35 weeks. So we think hes gonna be bigger than Moose Man.

So we have a lot of stress going on the past few weeks with Jess and Canyon. But all in all we have to look short term stress for Long Term Blessings!
