Time with The McPhersons

I had the opportunity to spend some time with The McPhersons during my track out.  I went to Georgia to stay with Tiffany, Clint and Baby Tristan.  It was a time that I'll always treasure.  I'm so thankful for the bonding time I got with my new grandson.  It was also nice to spend some long overdue time with Tiffany. 

Tiffany fell right into motherhood effortlessly.  She's a natural and Tristan is thriving.  I was able to go with them for his 2 week old check-up.  He weighed 8 lbs and 14 1/2 ounces!  They measured him on two scales to make sure it was an accurate reading.  That little stinker had gained more than a pound in 2 weeks.  Mommy's milk is definitely agreeing with him.  He's gaining and Tiff is losing.  She's already lost almost all her weight gain during the pregancy.

Greg and I tag-teamed in Georgia.  I came home this past Saturday (April 13th) and Greg went down to stay with them for a few days. He, like me, is really enjoying this time with them.

Tristin Cage McPherson is HERE

Tristin Cage McPherson is HERE!

We got "the" call that Tiffany was going to be induced on Thursday, March 28, 2013 at 2:30 p.m.  Greg, Taylor and I hit the road to Atlanta, GA around noon.  We traveled 8 hours only stopping once to get gas and food.  We texted and talked with Tiffany by phone getting updates on her labor progress. 
Taylor is excited to meeting Tristan and see Tiff and Clint.

We finally got to the hospital after a LONG drive to find Tiff slowing progressing in labor.

She's all smiles now.

Melonie, Debbi and I were in the delivery room during the labor/delivery.  Tiffany had a very difficult labor!  I've never seen anyone work as hard as she did to deliver Tristan.  He was lodged behind her pelvic bone.  It was very hard for me to see Tiff in such pain.  After 23+ hours of labor, Tristan Cage was finally born (March 29, 2013~Good Friday).

(7lbs 10 oz, 21" long)

Everyone wanted to their chance to meet him...
