Titan Timothy

He is HERE!
Titan Timothy (Ty) Rude
Born August 2nd, 2011 at 10:32pm
Weighing in at a BIG 8lbs 14oz
20.5 inches long
He was born at 38 weeks and 6 days.

This was moments after he was born. I'm already in LOVE

Check out how big he looks!

I was not surprised by his size but his hair was a shocker! So much and so dark! He has the most hair of all my Rude boys. It is so thick dark and beautiful!

He is so perfect

Titan and his proud Daddy!
Look at these handsome boys!

He has been AMAZING at nursing. Latching onto both sides within an hour of being born. You can see from this picture that he's got a big mouth and this boy loves to eat already!

Daddy and Ty

Much of the Rude Crew came up to visit on Wednesday. They all said they think he has a little more Rude in his than our other kids.

Dan went home and picked up our Wee ones around 11am on Wednesday to bring them up to meet Titan and have some lunch. Ty had bought them some presents (from the womb) for them to have from their new brother. The toys are shared by all. They love Toy Story so they got some little action figures (huge hit, good work Ty) and a new baby. They all like to carry around Myla's baby at home so I figured another little one would be helpful.

Myla and her new baby

Me and Titan. We enjoyed a nap together yesterday afternoon.... Totally my favorite thing about a new baby. The snuggling is so so precious.

Our big kids were not super interested in their new brother. Quinn held him a few times for a minute or so. Myla held him for a little while. She was pretty confused about the whole situation. But Rex would not even acknowledge me or Titan. Rex can't be pressured to do much and sitting on the bed with me was not an option in his head. He was way more concerned with his new toys and his big brother! I have no doubt that when we are home and Rex see's that Titan's not going anywhere he will love him.

Myla was pretty sweet and gentle with Titan.

It's always amazing how quickly you fall in love with another child and how quickly you can't imagine life without them!

Rex and Myla playing with their new toysQuinn was very concerned about Ty's "wa wa" (aka his pacifier). He wanted to make sure he had it ready if Ty needed it. I think Quinn was excited.

I have full confidence that Quinn, Rex and Myla will do fabulous with Titan.This was all we could get of Rex. Dan threw him on the bed and grabbed the camera. Oh well, not the picture perfect moment that I had imagined, especially considering that we didn't get a picture of our whole family or of our 4 kids(wow, that's strange to say). There will be a lot of opportunities in the future for pictures.

We are thrilled, and so excited that he is here. We already are so in love with him and excited to see how the Lord changes our lives and hearts having another little one to love and care for. We are extremely blessed. I did have a successful VBAC and already feel so much better not having a c-section to recover from, although in the middle of tons of pain in labor I told Dan to have them cut me open, I'm thrilled that I am able to be up and moving fairly well. We are so blessed that I'm doing so well, that Titan is PERFECT and that we are now a family of 6!
