TAZ TYLER CARLSON!!!


So... second time was the charm for baby number three and at 9:30am on St. Patrick's Day the Chinese Baby Psychic from Cherry Creek Mall (ask Amber - its a hilarious story) was vindicated and we had a BOY! No pitocin, just some magic gell (I didn't ask any questions) + a night in the hospital =a VERY smooth delivery.

So... here's the stats: 7lbs 8oz and 20 inches long (almost exactly the same size as Boston). In an effort to break the B-city naming streak (sorry for all of you lobbying for Birmingham!) and in honor of my uncle Taz Murray (and myself, I guess, although the middle name was Amber's idea!) we have Taz Tyler Carlson!

So... Boston has a brother, Brooklyn has a baby to smother, the men have officially taken over the household and we've got a very healthy and happy mom and baby. Haleleluiah!

A St. Patrick's baby! You are so lucky! That is when we wanted to have Elise, since Kimball is a Halloween baby. We are surprised you didn't name him Patrick! We love the name Taz even if it reminds us of our crazy uncle! Congrats and we are so happy for you! You definitely are a real family now always needing to have a plan! Love ya!
