(Tyler as a young tuck)
We are feeling really good about having this time to spend together, and we are both really excited to meet Parker soon. As the weeks and weeks go by, we cannot help ourselves from getting giddy over the idea of becoming a mom and a papa. We know that it is going to be hard but we are also looking forward to taking on the challenge, just the two of us.
Tyler is going to be the best Papa ever! I know that he will take care of me after the delivery whether it be a natural birth or a planned caesarian. I feel completely confident and comfortable in his hands. And better yet, I know that I will be able to focus on my swift recovery without feeling the pressures of looking good for company or worrying about the comfort of others. I will be able to completely focus on figuring out the new tasks involved in becoming the best mum that I can be. Tyler and I will be so lucky to hold, snuggle, and stare at our little buddy as much as we want without any interruptions.
We have both grown over this past year and find ourselves more confident in every aspect of our lives. Of course, if we were in Montana, we would look forward to having family and friends stop by to help out and swoon over our little bundle of joy. And a year ago, I think I would have really needed that. But being on the other side of the world is another story. We are taking this opportunity to see the positives and grow. We know that we will look back at this time in our lives and feel so proud of ourselves and the accomplishments we have achieved. We have asked that no one come over for the birth because we want to do this on our own. We know that we are going to love being parents!

Sounds like you are ALL doing GREAT! Truth be told that I agree its best that it just remain you and Tyler at first... I think my mom was sorta bummed that she wasn't able to come down right away after we had Kavya, but I think it was a good thing. I was a super baby hog at first and didn't even want to share her with the in-laws (although I did). Mom came about a month later and that's when I started feeling more comfortable and confident. I think Mom and Pa need time to bond with their new little bundle - alone! I believe you'll both do GREAT! :)

Just want you to know how proud we are of both of you. No worries. You can handle whatever comes your way if you believe in yourselves.
I agree that it is important for a new family to start alone together. That is why I have been supportive and respectful of your decision in spite of other people making me feel guilty. Besides, I raised my children to be independent, and am so proud I have succeeded so well. I know that Kelly and Tyler will have everything under control and will do an excellent job as parents for that wonderful little Parker. What a lucky baby Parker is! And ceasar or not, I can't think of Kelly being in any better hands than Tyler's.
I can't believe that Parker is 20 inches now! My babies didn't get over 18 inches by birth. How does he fit in there, Kelly.
This post gave me goosebumps and flash backs of the first few weeks with V! What a special time. You guys are going to do so wonderful and I know that this little guy will only make you fall more in love with eachother. A new life is such a blessing.
I always wanted to see a photo of Tyler when he was a babe. I'm thinking Parker will resemble him. You two will love being parents and you'll be awesome.
Hi Kel...I guess I should cancel my plans to come there then? No worries...I understand and respect you wanting to be alone. Just call me to check in.
Love ya.
Meghan
