Then there were 3!

Alright, so I didn't quite keep up with the pregnancy like I was hoping to. (What was I honestly thinking with two jobs?!?) I am making every effort from this point forward to blog more in order to update everyone with our family. 

Tristan was born July 24th. We had our fair share of scares, including the NICU, but I don't think I would have traded it for the world. We met the most amazing nurse and had a handful of other wonderful nurses as well. Kassie is the most wonderful young lady we could have ever hoped for. 

One of Tristan's complications is his right hand missing two fingers and the thumb and pointer are webbed together. We have seen one specialist here in Austin, however we are heading to Dallas Thursday to get a 2nd opinion. Praying the surgeon we see in Dallas gives us more optimistic options. 

Now on to the fun!  Our bundle of amazing joy is growing so incredibly fast. Everyone tells you to enjoy every moment but you don't realize just how precious every second with them truly is. I sit and stare in amazement. Brent and I are still beside ourselves. Even tonight, after Tristan was asleep, we both talked about how he is so gorgeous and we couldn't have asked for a better baby. Yes, we have had our share of colic, but all in all...he is an angel. Everyone talks about how alert he always is and how he is so content. Him being our first, we really have nothing to compare to. All I know is we are blessed and we know it. He has been sleeping through the night, and by that I mean a minimum of 7 hours sleep, since the day prior to 6 weeks!!  Again, can we tell you how blessed we are?

This weekend Tristan began "whooing" like an owl. We wonder if he has heard the owl outside our window. (he usually talks all night.). When he gets going, there is no stopping him. He loves when you repeat him. We get nothing but smiles during who time.

Tonight Tristan learned he could kick in his bath, which he proceeded to do. He smiled and enjoyed soaking Mommy dearest.  We loved it though. 

Again, I promise to keep up with the blog more. Maybe some day Tristan will read it.
