THE BIG NEWS!

The big news is that Tyson is going to be a big brother! Yes ... we are expanding our family again.

THE BIGGER NEWS! We are having TWINS!!!

The Story
It all started with an early pregnancy test that clearly had the little pink plus sign. Then three more to follow ( the digital kind ... you know the one that says the word "pregnant" ) for me to believe it. That day I went and bought Tyson a shirt that said "big brother" and made sure he was wearing it when daddy got home from work. We start thinking about how exciting this will be and what is is going to be like with a baby and Tyson!! We walked into the doctor's office calm as good be, knowing that everything is fine with the baby and we cannot wait to see the little heartbeat on the screen. It seemed like forever until they called my name ...

As the doctor pulled this tiny little baby up on the screen we automatically notice something is different. He quickly moved around my belly to check thoroughly and then clear as day .... TWO HEART BEATS!!!

We could not believe our eye! Now this was amazing, exciting and unreal all at the same time. My heart was beating so loud I think the doctor could hear it. Brian said his feet just went numb. So ... with that we are now expecting two babies. Since then we have had another ultrasound and the babies look healthy and they are growing fast (so am I)

The reactions
Here are some of the famous reactions we have heard already ...

"You are going to be huge"
"What are you going to do"
"You are going to have your hands full"
"That will be a crazy house"
"My sisters best friends moms cousin had twins"
"Do you have a big enough house"

I am sure there will be plenty more to come ... and we are more than happy to hear them all! We are so excited and blessed to bring twins into the world. Please keep the babies in your prayers as they grow strong and healthy in the months to come.

Lastly ... I know sorry long post.

Dress Rehearsal - Howdy Partner!!

We had a costume dress rehearsal tonight - Tyson could not wait to try on his cowboy gear. We have a big week planned next week. Grandma and Pawpa Rose are coming in to watch Tyson in his Halloween parade at school. The cowboy himself will be making an appearance at a fall festival party on the 29th and then we will trick or treat again on the 31st!

More pictures to come of the big week but here is quick preview of the costume : )

Good as New!!

UPDATE: Tyson made it through the tube surgery just fine! As we expected the day was more complicated for Brian and I. We cannot compliment the hospital staff enough, they were fantastic. We were lucky enough to get a spot at the new Children's Hospital campus that opened up closer to home so we did not have to make the drive downtown. The facility was amazing and the staff took great care of Tyson. Once we arrived Tyson was placed in his own room full of plenty of toys and his own flat screen to watch cartoons. He refused to wear the hospital scrubs so we went back to the operating room in just a diaper. Once we got back to the room Brian and I stayed with him until he was under ... this was the hard part. I held him while they gave him the anesthesia. As we left the room they were handing me tissues. Not even 20 minutes later the Doctor came out himself to tell us that Tyson did great! They took us right back to see him. He bounced back very quickly and was back to his energetic self not even 24 hrs later! He seems to be doing well and I have not seen him tug as his ears in almost a week!

I updated some pics of Tyson. The 1st is right before we left for his surgery ... he is pointing to his ear. We tried to explain to him what he was going to have done that day. The following are pics of Tyson getting his first boxing lesson from daddy ... !!
