HAPPY EASTER!

We spent easter at my mom and dad's.
I had Lindsey do my hair and I borrowed some of her jewelry so
I took the chance to take our first family picture since talon was born.

Tyler's Grandma Mamie gave us an Easter Bunny outfit. I was soooo excited to dress him up in it for Easter! It was fun surprising everyone in the morning with the little baby Easter Bunny. Cutest bunny I have ever seen. (sorry some of the pics are sideways, they wouldn't upload right.)

I am pretty proud of these pictures!

I had so much fun taking them. He is sooo cute!

Why Babies need Moms

This is Tyler's solution to stop Talon from crying- blowing in his face. It's actually pretty funny for a while, but I can only take so much cuz it looks like it is torture and I really don't think it stops the crying permanently, it prolongs it.

Talon Again!

When I was at my parents house Jessica and I took some pictures of Talon in the

Climbing rope. These are just some pics from my camera, there is a lot more of him! It was so fun!

Making Flies

This post is for my Dad and Grandpa Poole.

Tyler and I tied flies for FHE and these are the finished products.

I made the three on the left, tyler made one and got distracted with making his knife. I have no idea what kind of flies they are. I know the black ones are real flies that might catch some fish. The other 2 I made up. The purple one is my favorite and is still yet to be named.

Talon's Surgery

At Talon's first check up the doctor found a hear murmur. They did an

echocardiogram on him and a doctor in Boise said he had what they call Pulmonary Stenosis. The pulmonary artery was narrower in on spot creating

turbulance and making the Valve not work quite right and making the pressure gradient off. So we went up to Boise and on the 8th they put a balloon catheter

on his heart to stretch the narrow part back to it's normal size.

Everything went really well. The procedure took 3 hours and he was out of the hopsital by the end of the day. He is doing great.

We are happy that it wasn't anything more serious and that they have

the technology to fix it so easily!

It's crazy to think how fast our family is growing!

Talon is their first grandchild!

The Sunday before he was born!

My belly button poked out so far!

Tyler trying to see how I felt. He strapped my

leg pump things that prevent clots. He liked them. Ha!

He tried to look miserable like me for the pic though.

First time I got to hold Talon.

Proud Daddy!

Bringing him home! Where is he!

Yep, he really is in there. He is the little bump in the middle.

The Story

Well nothing went as I had hoped. I had a doctors appointment

and I told him that I thought I had been leeking fluid so they checked the

fluid around the baby and there wasn't enough so they induced me.

After 5 hours and only dilating from a 3+ to 5 I had had enough. It hurt.

The nurse came in and said "I think I turned your putossin up a little high

your contractions are really close and hard." So she cut it in half.

I was getting very discouraged and Very tired so I broke down and got an epidural. It was amazing. But after I had the Epidural the baby's heart rate went

down and they were going to do an emergency c-section. But he pulled through. then I was stuck at a 7 for 2 1/2 hours and said if I hadn't dilated in 45 mnutes

they were going to do a C-section. Luckily I dilated. We had to keep careful watch on his heart rate cuz it kept going down, but it always came back up. finally it was time to push. The baby was not handling it well at all and it was stuck in my "dinky pelvis." So I ended up getting a C section anyways. I bawled. I mean, after 12 hours of labor and being so close to the end. ya. but Everything was fine once I

heard the baby cry! It is the most amazing sound I have ever heard! And seeing his perfect little body and knowing he was ok made everything great. He is my little blessing from Heavenly Father.

Now that everything is over, we look back and find some humor in the little things

that happened. Tyler loves to tell them. like me being all tough and not wanting an epidural than yelling because the guy couldn't get there fast enough.

Tyler and I love being parents. Talon is amazing!
