Down With the Peth’s

Waylon Tyler…our second born. We found out we were having another baby before John turned one. COVID had just started and lockdown was in place. We were lucky to still be working and having private childcare for John.

For both boys, I knew I was pregnant before my missed period. You see, my acne gets worse and Penny becomes more attached to me. My positive test both times occurred 6 days before that missed period. We were terrified…two under two. Our first pregnancy did not go exactly as we expected and were scared to get prenatal screening this time…but we did and Waylon was considered low risk.

January 14, 2021. A snow storm, the doctor being chased by police and making it JUST in time for Waylon’s quick entrance into the world. I was literally holding him in and begging to push. He was beautiful.

We expected a normal hospital stay and going home sooner than we did with John, but of course Waylon does things his own way. He had to stay for the bili lights and his sugars needed monitored. We were finally able to go home and see how BIG John seemed and witness his reaction to his baby brother.

Waylon is now two years old. He is independent, likes routine, wants things the way HE wants them and is so so smart. We cannot wait to watch his relationship with John over the years (right now it’s just a lot of fighting and jealousy.
