Just over 2 weeks

Well we are just over 2 weeks with Ty. It has been an amazing ride so far. Things are starting to get on a schedule, for as much schedule as a 2 week old can. Ty is now eating 4 oz of formula every 2 1/2 to 3 hours. He still has his days and nights mixed up but it is getting better. I went back to work this week. It is so hard to leave in the morning especially when He falls a sleep on my chest. Nicole is doing an amazing job with him everyday. I know by the time I get home she is ready for a break but she is such an awesome mom. Ty is so lucky to have her. It has been a bit stressful and at times you think " did we make a mistake" but it is all worth it and as we learn more and get use to what he wants it all starts to get easier. And when you are holding him and he smiles so big his Pacifier falls out and you see his little gums smiling at you, it melts your heart. My Aunt Carol and Uncle Tony from New York are down and came to meet Ty last night. We have had so many friends help with stopping by to drop off food or letting us come to there house during emotional melt downs (Dustin and Vanessa) and we thank all of you so much!!!!

On another note We booked our airfare today to go to Costa Rica in September. SO EXCITED. We are going with Dustin, Vanessa, Derrick, Tiffany and few other friends. We can not wait. Ty will be staying with the grandparents because he will still be to young to travel to another country. I have never surfed outside the country. I have been skimboarding in many countries but never gone to surf. I am so excited. As well as it will be a nice little break for Nicole and I to spend some time together. We usually do a trip in November for our anniversary but this year we decided Costa will be out trip!!!!!!!!!
Sorry for the rambling on just excited about so much in my life right. I couldn't ask for anything else and wouldn't change anything for the world. I pray every night to thank God for all the blessings in my life. And here are a few pics of Ty

9 days...


Feewww.. where to begin. I have never felt like I have had a busier 9 days in my life before. (probably because I haven't) Although the past 9 days haven't been the easiest of my life, they have been by far the most rewarding in many ways! First of course, is being completely blessed by having the most perfect baby boy you could ask for. Everyday I am learning about him & I love it. Second, would be that I know now more than ever, that I have married my best friend & with him I can do anything. We make a great team, and this past week and a half has brought us together in ways I never felt possible. I have learned that Drew will be there for Ty and I, no matter what... he's such a strong person & is one of the most supportive comforting people I know. I'd not only be lost with out him, but am truly lucky to have him forever. I have learned what the TRUE meaning of family is. Without going into such great detail about this... all I have to say is that I hope I can re-pay my parents one day for the constant, love, support, encouragement, and attention they have given us in this time of need. I am so excited for our future together as a family. In addition to our "immediate family" ... we have also found family in our friends Vanessa & Dustin. They have been a rock for us this past week, listening to our meltdowns and frustrations. We love them so much, and thank god for putting them in our lives when they did. Your reassurance and brutal honesty is so comforting, and you guys have been there for us when we needed you most. Thank you!

Dear Ty

Dear Ty,

Well welcome to the world. I had some thoughts on how I might feel when you were born but nothing was even close. I am so amazed with you. All your mom and I do is stare at you while you sleep. You are so perfect. The day you were born was a cloudy overcast day. You were suppose to be born on February 5th 2010. But We decided with the doctor that we were going to induce on February 3rd. So on February 1st I was off work and I made mommy go every where with me. She was a little mad at me because she was tired and wanted to lay down and relax. We ate a wonderful spaghetti dinner that your mommy made that night. The next morning on February 2nd Mommy woke up and told me we should go to the hospital. We drove up there and arrived around 8am. They checked mommy and moved us to Labor and Delivery around 9:25. Both your grandma's, Joepaw, Aunt Allie, and daddy's best friend Reid arrived within the next couple hours. You had a wonderful nurse Jessica who was one of mommies friends in school. She took wonderful care of Mommy and you when you arrived. Dr. Hamel showed up at about 3pm. Mommy started pushing at 3:19 and at 3:45pm you were born. You were so beautiful. Daddy cried like a baby for about 20 minutes watching you get cleaned off and lay on mommy. You were 21 inches long and weighed a whopping 8.16 lbs.


We stayed in the hospital for the next 2 days and then came home on February 4th were you met your brother ollie for the first time. The first night you were awake alot and we realized you were just hungry and 1oz of formula just wasn't enough. So we gave you 1.5 oz's and you were sleeping like a beautiful baby.

You have alot of people that already love you so much. But the most amazing person through this whole thing has been your mom. Since the day she found out she was pregnant every decision we made was all about what was best for you. It was fun going to doctors appointments and watching you grow inside mommy. When mommy gave birth to you it was a miracle of God. It was absolutely the most incredible thing I have ever been apart of and your mom did a perfect job. She loves you so much and just keeps staring at you.
We have a ton to learn still and what I have learned so far is:
Changing a diaper isnt that hard - But alot harder after a circumcision
Since your a boy if there is no diaper on yet and you have to pee you do. And whatever is around is what gets it.
You are a little fart machine when you are eating.
You make the most precious sounds when you are sleeping
You like to fall asleep half way thru eating or burping
You are my new best friend and I will do everything I can to make sure you have the best, easiest, and least painful life that we can give you.

You also have a ton of family that wants to be with you all the time. Both Grandma's , Joepaw, Aunt allie, Uncle Dustin and Aunt Vanessa, Lily, Uncle Ben will get to meet you on Saturday, Uncle Nick and Grandpa will be down in a few weeks to meet you also. You are the most loved little bundle of joy. Thank you for all the happiness you have brought mommy and I already and we will do our best to do everything right.

I love you so much and can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you apart of it.
I LOVE YOU TY, YOU AND MOMMY ARE MY WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!

I Love you
Dad

Ty is Here!!!!!!!!

Well first off everyone Ty Joseph Danielo was born on Tuesday February 2, 2010 at 3:45pm. Everything went absolutely perfect. We couldn't have asked for anything to have gone better. Nicole's epidural worked 100% she didnt feel anything. Ty was born with no complications. Just the cord got wrapped around his neck on the way out but our amazing doctor took care of it within a matter of seconds. I managed to not pass out through the whole thing and even looked at way more than I thought I could have. It was the most amazing and wonderful blessing in my life. There were definitely angels in the room with us over looking the whole process. Ty came out and I cried like a baby!!!!!! He was 21"'s long and weighed 8.16 lbs. His color was absolutely amazing within like 5 minutes. We came home on Thursday and Ollie got to meet his new little brother. Ollie has been making the adjustment great. Last night at like 3:45am he had the "are you kidding me look" on his face but as soon as Ty makes a peep or a little cry ollie runs to were Ty is. Thank You to all our friends and family who came to visit us and meet Ty for the 1st time. Here are a few photo's.
