Impossible to get two smiles!!

Well finally some new pictures to post! Things are going well, but the time seems to fly out the window and by the time everyone is settled in the evenings, I seem to lose the energy to post new pics! But time also makes things easier, and these past two days have certainly showed me that. Life is starting to get closer to normal and the recovery process is going well. Tolkien is a very loving brother and has a lot to say to us about his new sister. Enjoy the new pictures!

Getting Ready for the C-Section




Our new baby Girl!!

March 3rd 8:35am Talulah entered the world and surprised us all. We couldnt believe that we had a baby girl! Even Grandma Perry thought Tyler was lying when he went out to tell everyone the news. She is a beautiful girl and wieghed in and measured in bigger than Tolkien! She was 9lbs,13oz and 22" long.
Our stay in the hospital was just enough for us to heal and spend some time just the 3 of us, before we came home to be the 4 of us. Tyler is overjoyed to have his little girl now, and I think I didnt realize how much I wanted a girl, until they told me I had one! We feel pretty complete right now.
Talulah, (meaning "Leaping Water" is Native American in origin) is truly her mother's daughter so far. She looks a lot like me when I was born, so we'll see if that continues or not. She even has Jaundice like I did. We have had her under a "Billy Blanket" to lower her Red Blood cel count in her system, which after her check up today, seems to have been working. We know one thing about her for sure after 6 days of life.... she likes to eat!! I will finally post some pics from her birthday to the present.
Thanks to Grandma Perry for being here with Tolkien and with all of us during this crazy week, and thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Browne for driving here from MN to be here for Talulah's arrival. We have loved all the visits from Aaron and Terri, (Thanks for brushing my hair) and Lauren and David at the hospital, who kept Tyler and my family company while I kept passing out! And to all of our wonderful friends that made the treck to Meriter to visit, Renae, Jen, Jeff and Kris, Allison, Nicole, & Meredith, you are all wonderful.
We look forward to seeing anyone else who would like to visit our new family! Take care and enjoy the pictures!
