Our little Timothy resting after a long night. I went into labor November 18th in the late morning hours. It took Timothy all day and night to arrive. He finally came in the early morning of November 19th. We were all so happy. I couldn't believe it was really happening...he was finally here. He had really pretty skin, rosey lips...and beautiful eyes. He weighed in at 7 pounds and 11 ounces.
Proud Uncle Rick with Timothy November 19th, 1999. I couldn't tell who was more excited for Timothy's arrival...him or us.
Timothy with his Uncle Mike Novermber 19, 1999. We gave Timothy the middle name of Michael after him.
Timothy with his Aunts Kelley and Suzy, Uncles Mike and Rick and cousins Madison and Kassi. Timothy was about 12 hours old in this picture. He was the "star" of the party...and he slept all the way through it.
Timothy with his daddy.
Gerry and I couldn't be without him. The nurses would come in our room and say,"We're going to take him for a while so the two of you can rest." We would last for about ten minutes and go out into the nursery to bring him back.
Saturday, November 20, 1999. Timothy was a day old here. Gerry took this picture of Timothy and I. He liked how he caught Timothy in the middle of a BIG yawn.
This is my favorite of Gerry and Timothy together. I picture them together like this today, at this very moment.
These are our hospital braceletts the three of us wore. Another one of my true treasures.
Timothy's hospital picture (November 21, 1999) I could tell he was going to be an "onery" little guy...he stuck his tongue out! (Which he did in many pictures...it's too funny.) The outfit he wore for this was about three sizes too big, but a good friend of ours got it for Timothy...so we wanted to try it out. We didn't mind...we were just excited to bring him home that day.
Timothy's footprints on his birth certificate.
My best friend Jessi who lives in Boston, sent Gerry and I these beautiful flowers and balloon after Timothy was born.
Thanks so much for this great gift Florence...Now I "do" have a picture of all three of us! This was so touching to see...
