The Proud Papa


Here is Tyler getting to know Darby just after she was born. (You can see me lying exhausted in the background!) I'll never understand why they don't give the baby to the mother first. She did all the work!
My first glimpse of her was of her surprisingly large feet as the NICU team worked on her. She had a little trouble breathing when she came out, so we didn't get much time with her before she had to go to the transitional nursery for observation. Luckliy, everything was fine and she began breathing regularly shortly after birth.
Tyler epitomizes the proud daddy. He wanted to walk up and down the halls showing his little girl off! The love affair continues as he tells me every day that he thinks she's the prettiest baby he's ever seen!

Introducing Darby

This is the first picture of our new addition! She's almost 3 weeks old now, and it's amazing how much she's already changed. Until I find my camera's USB cable, these older pictures are all I can post! She looks just like her daddy, but I think she's going to have curly hair like me! Preston is proving to be an amazing big brother. He truly loves his baby sister! We like her a lot too! Her personality is emerging and she couldn't be more different than her brother. This has been an amazing ride so far, and I'm looking forward to our little family's future!
