Nolan Edward Tarr joined this world on November 22, 2013. He was due on Nov 28 so he was about a week early, the same as Keaton. He came into this world very quickly. Labor pains started around 2:30am, the little guy was here by 6:22am. And would have been here closer to 4:30am if I hadn't been so lucky to get an epidural. I was 10 cm when we arrived at hospital and that's usually when it's time to push...but I made it pretty clear to everyone that I wasn't moving forward without the epidural.
Aunt Claudia was a lifesaver to come to our house in the middle of the night to stay with Keaton. And then papa came the next day to keep him entertained too. It was so nice to know he was with two of his favorite people.
Keaton loves his brother. So far he has transitioned very well! He certainly is doing a great job of being a "Big Brother." And speaking of big, I remember when I brought Keaton home from the hospital and suddenly thought the dog looked huge. Well now I think Keaton looks so big and he also really has grown up a lot in this past week.
TJ is home from work through Christmas, thank goodness! I have no idea how I'm going to do this by myself when he goes back to work. But for now it has been awesome since he is so hands on. Daddy watched Nolan for a few hours yesterday while Keaton and I went to play trains at Barnes & Noble.
Everyone is doing great and we have had so many people so involved in our new family these past few days. Thank you for all the food and gifts (especially for Keaton to keep him busy) and visitors!
Here are a few pictures:
He's such a cutie! Love him! Keep up the great work big brother Keaton.
