Welcome Teagan


Teagan Ann Tripple
Finally Teagan decided to join our little family on September 2nd. After being 11 days late and enduring 31 hours of labor, Teagan arrived in only 2 pushes! The Dr. was so shocked, we were on the verge of another c-section when Teagan decided to give in and join the rest of us in the real world! When the Dr. checked one last time before going to the operating room, Teagan was ready. Because most first timers usually push for close to an hour the Dr. decided go brush his teeth (random! I know!!) and the nurse ended up delievering Teagan after only 2 pushes! He said that he hadn't seen anything like that in a while. Everyone was excpecting a large baby, based on my tummy size and the fact that she was almost 2 weeks late. To our suprise Teagan was a perfect 7lb 4oz's, 20 1/4 in long and had a full head of hair (unlike her big sister who was bald until her 1st birthday!). Everyone asked if she seemed big compared to Tatum (who was a whopping 3.6lbs at birth), but she just seemed perfect and healthy! I just wanted to keep her that little forever! But now 6 weeks later she is growing so fast and I am savoring every moment with her!

Wow! I go out of town for two weeks and come home to a new addition to our family. She is darling and must to some degree fill an ache left by the loss of Porter. Since you are all happy - I am happy too. Love you lots,
Mom
