It has been a few weeks since I have updated this. Tyson will be a month old tomorrow! It makes me want to cry when I think of how fast it is already going. I wish I could go back to when I was in labor and soak in every detail and remember it the rest of my life. I guess it helps a little to keep a journal about everything too. He is getting to be a chunk! At his two week (almost 3) appointment he had already gained about two pounds. He was 7lbs 12oz at birth and at that appointment he was 9lbs 5oz. We went a gain just a few days later because we were concerned about something with his circumcision and he weighed 9lbs 11oz. Crazy! I'm used to a little scrawny girl that never had any rolls on her body. I'm afraid he is already getting some. His cousin, Riley that is 4 months old already weighs 17lbs or more. He's a cutie though. Anyway. Ty is a good baby. He only cries when he is hungry and sometimes while getting his diaper changed. The last few nights he has slept for 5-6 hrs in a row. Which helps me a lot. I don't know if any of you remember how bad my postpartum depression was with Natalie. I ended up going to the hospital because I was so bad. We had to come up with a "safety plan" so I wouldn't have to go to the BHC. Nathans parents ended up having her when Nathan was a work. It was like that for a few weeks and then maybe once or twice a week for quite a while. A lot of times I didn't want hardly anything to do with her. I was on depression pills before I got pregnant but went off of them when I was because I couldn't keep anything down. This time around I have been on one that has been working for over a year and things are pretty good. I get emotional at times, because having two is very stressful. How does anyone deal with more than one? I guess I will find that out in a few years. Yes, I already know there is another child waiting to come to our family. Every time I thought about if Ty would be the last one, I got a strong feeling that there is more to come. Natalie is doing pretty good. She does get jealous at times. Ty needs to eat a lot and Natalie always asks me to play with her at those times. I will tell her I can't and she walks away with her head down. I made a slideshow on windows movie maker for Nathan for Fathers day. I couldn't wait to show it to him so he watched it last night. If he will let me, I will try and post it later. Not sure if it will work though. Here are a lot of pictures......

I am super proud of you Mary! You knew it would be difficult and could have said no way I don't want to do that again despite your feeling that more children needed to come. I think you are really brave and if you ever just need to talk I am here!!! Miss you guys and can't wait to be back in Idaho!!!
