Alexandra arrived Friday, May 23rd at 11:37 AM
Big Sis and lil Sis taking a well deserved break together!She was born at Weiden Hospital, Germany about 2 weeks early and weighed in at 8.8 pounds and 21 inches long = as big as Tyler was, just past her due date! It was via c-section and while it didn't quite go as smoothly as Ty's, we are both doing great. In fact I think I am healing and up & around faster this time around LOL though part of that may be necessity :-)
Sebastian was AWESOME and he and Tyler got some true "Daddy & Ty" time. She is still following him around everywhere mimicking all that he does :-) No jealously rearing up much yet which is nice. The hardest thing has been that I cannot pick her up yet and she doesn't completely understand why I can carry Alex but not her. She has had a few meltdowns over that but we are working on it. Daddy’s ice cream and park time certainly seems to help a lot :)
We were discharged on Monday (a process that takes ALLLLL day here) and were home Monday evening. Since then we have been resting trying to get into new routines and, of course, begin all paperwork for the Army, etc….
To Lori H and Stephanie -
Special thanks to you wonderful friends for helping out - we don't know what we would have done without you!! Knowing you were taking care of Ty for us gave us a piece of mind that was so needed and appreciated while in the hospital!
More updates later but here are some pictures for now. Time to take a break :)
Me and Mom!

CONGRATS!!! I love the bonding photos of the girls. Too cute. can't wait to see more photos. And, I can't believe how big she was. YOu really do produce large babies. Big and healthy is the way I see it.
