Our Adorable New Grandson Tyson!

Tyson Neal Carlsen was born April 8th at 1:11 am.  He was 7 lbs 7 oz. and has a full head of hair!  Things were a little rougher than we expected.  Ashley had to have a C-section because his heart rate kept dropping and the cord was around his neck.  Mom and baby are now home from the hospital.  Here are some pictures we took this evening while Mike and his family were over here at our Condo.

Update

Well I left Doha on March 21st to fly to Utah for the expected baby. We thought they may induce Ashley on March 17th. Her fluid levels have stayed up and the baby's heart beat has done very well so......we are still waiting. Her actual due date is April 6th so we really are on the home stretch now. She still has to have an NST test twice a week and see the doctor once a week. We have tried all of the wive's tail things like walking, eating eggplant etc.... to help things along. Anyway, as soon as things happen Emily (our daughter in law) will take pictures and we will post ASAP.
