I looked like this: and then after a lot of effort, I had 9 pounds, 8 ounces of this:

In the process, I created 2 very happy grandmas:

One Papa who went AWOL:

Another who popped over "On his way to the Bank":
4 years ago he looked like this:

and was walking like a champ!

3 years ago he looked like this:

2 years ago he looked like this:

Last year he looked like this:

Yay for Midwives!

Did you know that this week is National Midwfery Week? I would like to take the time to thank my midwife (from 3 years ago...no, I'm NOT pregnant right now!) for all her guidance and knowledge while I was pregnant and laboring...It is kind of neat that Tyler's third birthday fell during the National Midwifery Week because without my midwife, he would have been born in a much different manner. Thank you Jacque!!!
