First Bath

Tyler had his first bath last night. He wasn't really a fan but he looked so cute!

We're Home

We got to home home on Sunday and we are so glad to be back with Peyton and Hayley. We are now a family of 5 which is still taking some time to get used to. Everyone is doing great but we are all pretty tired. Here are some pictures of baby Tyler coming home.

We wanted to go home on Saturday but Tyler had what they called a transitional heart mumur and they wanted to make sure that it was gone before we left. So, here we are waiting to get the okay to go home :)

My baby girl looks SO big now.

Up bright and early.

Peyton was so cute this morning, it made me cry. Peyton came in this morning and ran in and wanted to hold Tyler right away. Of course Tyler was hungry and starting crying right when I put him in Peyton's lap. Peyton got really sad and started crying and kept asking if Tyler was hurt. It was so cute to see him so worried about his brother.

Hayley did so so much better with Tyler this morning. Yesterday she didn't want anything to do with him and today she was happy to see him.

Holding hands :)

Peyton loves his little brother.
After a very long night of Tyler wanting to nurse all night we got him a passy this morning and he is sleeping so much better.

Welcome Tyler Jack McDonald

We welcomed a precious baby boy today. Tyler Jack McDonald was born at 1:34 p.m He was 7 lbs 8 oz and was 20.5 inches. Peyton and Hayley came to visit today and were excited to meet their new baby brother. Peyton was extremely happy that it was a boy. Here are some picture of our day!

September 17th

Well, baby number 3 decided not to come on its own so we are being induced today. We checked in at 5 am this morning and we are now just waiting for the baby to join us. We will keep everyone posted. Please say some prayers that everything goes smoothly.

Another Project

Mark finished the nursery and added another project to his list. (I will post some pictures of the nursery once the baby is here and we know if it is a boy or girl.) He started refinishing a dresser for Hayley. This dresser was Mark's when he was little. It has been painted a couple of times since then and Mark redid it for Hayley. It turned into a bigger project than planned but turned out so cute!





Also, Mimi got Hayley a real big girl bed and she was so excited. She has slept in it really good. She loves it! Here are some pictures of her new big girl room.


Yes, we still have our passy or as Hayley calls it her pappy. She might have it for life but it makes both of us pretty happy :) (I'm afraid we would have no sleep at our house without it)

Grandma got this for Hayley. I think it is perfect!

Nap Time :)

School

Both kids started school this past week. Peyton is going 3 days a week and Hayley is going 1 day a week. They both had a great time. I thought Hayley would be upset when I dropped her off but she proved me wrong. She walked right into her classroom with her backpack and started playing with the babies. Peyton loves his class. He has 4 kids in his class that were in his same class last year. They were all so excited to see eachother after the summer. It was really cute to see them all together again. He loves school and can't wait to go each morning.

Last week we got to go up to the school and meet the teachers. Here is Peyton and his teacher Ms. Cindi. She is super sweet and Peyton has already had so much fun with her.

Hayley also got to meet her teachers, Ms. Linda and Ms. Laura. Here is Ms. Laura and Hayley playing. Hayley has two little boys in her class from our playgroup which is great for her. I think it helped the transition.

On another note we are still pregnant. I am due next Thursday the 16th and I am so ready. We are getting really excited to find out what we are having. Peyton is convinced it is a boy but we shall see. We will keep everyone updated.
