The Birth Day
Friday went wonderfully. It was our best experience by far. The doctors were friendly and talked to me during surgery (though most of the time I just wanted to puke). I got to see Teancom being born, which I was reluctant about, but now that I saw it, I wish I would have seen the other 2 also. It was an awesome thing to witness. The first thing he did after being born is pee all over the doctors. Rob took a little video clip on our camera of the birth. Eww. But it's neat.
The Family at Home
Miciah loves him and would hold him all day if she could. She'll say that he needs "Sister time." And Elijah, after being pretty jealous, has warmed up to him and my Mom even found him this morning trying to comfort him when he was crying. How cute. He'll randomly walk up to me, put his arms out, and say, "Baby," like he wants to hold him. He also is getting used to the idea of breastfeeding. He at first would try to pull the baby off and say, "Let go!"
The whole process has just gone really well and we're extremely blessed. He's a pretty good baby and we're also very thankful for that. ... We get a lot of comments on his name: Robert Teancom. Teancom is a Book of Mormon war leader/hero, and also a family name. We spell it different (with an o instead of a u), just for preference. I wanted to give him the name of a warrior. If you don't like the name, or if you'd prefer to call him something else, C has suggested the nickname Tank. And we like that. Goes along with the warrior/war theme. :)
Anyways, things are going good. My Mom is here helping and loving on the baby. I feel really really good (especially compared to the last 2 times), but I'm still really really tired. By about halfway through the day I'm wiped out and have to go lay back down. So it's nice to have my Mom here to help out. And of course she loves every minute she gets with her 3 grandkids.
We love you all and thank you for your well wishes, prayers, and thoughts.
Love,
Tamra, Rob, Miciah, Elijah and Teancom
