Welcome Tyler and Starting School!

On May 15th we welcomed Tyler William to our family!  He arrived quickly and with little incident (other than we almost didn't make it to the hospital in time and he was born on a gurney instead of a labor bed).  The best part of the experience (tongue in cheek) was sharing the stomach bug my family got over Mother's day weekend.  Amber (Sunday- Mother's day), then Andrew and Ken (Monday), Mom M (Tuesday, Tyler's b'day), and Dad M and I (Wednesday).  Thankfully no one else that I know of got it and we were around both families that weekend.
And here we are, still in our W.G. house.  We took the house off the market a month after Tyler was born because it was just going to be too much hassle keeping the place up to snuff with Andrew out of school and an infant to take care of.  We are in the process of deciding which children will share a room and what furniture to get Amber for her big-girl bed.
Amber is in the process of trying to potty train herself.  Ask me about that some other time... lol
Tyler, thankfully, started sleeping through the night at about 8 weeks so when I went back to work I was refreshed.  That didn't last long as we are very busy at the hospital and I am often there late, then up with the kids no later than 7.  He's a good baby though, and he goes with the flow.
Andrew start Kindergarten in THREE DAYS!!  Crazy to think that I'll have Amber (and Tyler) all day with no Andrew to help/fight with/play with.  Should be interesting.
Amber will be going to a 2 year old tot program twice a week where Andrew went to preschool.  I think she'll really like the independence of not having me around, and like Andrew, she'll have other people to play with (read boss around).
Good luck to both of them (and their teachers)!
