Arrived on April 17, 2009
11:17am, 7lbs 20in.
11:17am, 7lbs 20in.
As Brooke's birthday (April 17th) approached, Kelly and I realized that the 1 in 365 odds of Ty arriving on Brooke's birthday was fast becoming a possibility. Frankly, I liked the idea: one less day to remember, combined parties, you know, the whole two birds with one stone thing...Then sure enough, about 4am on April 17th Kelly woke me up and said she was in labor. We drove to the hospital and by the time we arrived, she was dialated to 5cm and her contractions were only a few minutes apart. After one of Kelly's longer labors (this was her 5th) Ty Daniel popped out at 11:17am. The doctor said my hearing should return in about a week; yes her screaming was that loud. But after careful reflection, I realized that birthing a child is much more painful than surgery to repair a hernia!
Ty weighed 7lbs even and he is 20 inches long. Ty and Kelly are both doing great. I tried to get her to go see a movie tonight but she is too sore. Anyway, Kelly has a honey-do list she wants me to complete during my four-week vacation, yet she wonders why I never take time off? So I better get started, after a quick nap of course!

Just kickin' it
I think the nurse went a little overboard on the eye ointment!
Go ahead, take my picture if you must.
If that flash goes off in my face one more time...
It's been a long day for me and Mommy!
