Tristan turns 2, Part 1

Two years ago today we met Tristan Ronald Foels for the very first time.  It was love at first sight. 

I've decided that on the boys' birthdays I would quickly reminisce about their BIRTH days.  Tristan was due February 20th, but Dr. Mehta offered to induce me on the 15th.  After thinking about it (for a very short time) we decided to do it.  Jackson was also induced so I knew what I was getting into.  We took off for Dubuque early the morning of the 15th, got settled in our room and got the pitocin started.  We ended up having the exact same nurse that we had with Jackson, which was really cool, she was awesome.  I eventually got my epidural, they broke my water, Karsten almost passed out, and then Tristan entered the world at 5:00pm weighing 7 lbs 10 oz and measuring 19 1/2 inches long.  He looked A LOT like his older brother.

Here's what he looked like then.....

And here's what he looks like on his 2nd birthday...

Happy birthday to The Tristanmeister!!!
