Tyler's Birth Day

After only a short 5 hour labor, Tyler finally arrived! He weighed in at 8 lbs exactly and measured 21 inches long. We think he looks a lot like his brother, but has more hair and a rounder face.

Mom and baby are doing fine and we are so thankful for all prayers during the pregnancy and labor, and the well-wishes we are already getting.

Here are the first batch of pictures I was able to post, with more coming in the next few days.

At the hospital during the contractions, Chesney isn't too comfortable, but Tim is really excited that the baby is coming soon.
