Lydia After the NICU

Lydia had a check up yesterday. The doctor is not worried about her at all. She has gained over half a pound and one inch since birth despite not feeling well. We are trying to get the people out here to check her to see if she still needs the oxygen but we have not received any information as to when they will show despite my numerous calls a day.

The Last Month

The last month has been busy here. Getting ready for Helland Baby #2 and many trials for mom. Dad has been busy getting ready for baby and trying to get mom to slow down while finishing all the yard work. Noah has been growing and developing fast. He says many words, although at times they all sound the same. Here are some pictures of the last month.

4th of July - Minnesota Style

For the Fourth we went to MN to visit the Rangitsch's. We made a true vacation out of this trip and spent a lot of time up north and little time running around visiting people. It was a well needed break! We did manage to meet up with the Shaks who were also in town from North Carolina and had fun catching up. All in all it was a good time. Noah got his first bee sting among other firsts and Brian is still nursing wounds from running a dirt bike into a tree. We had a blast and spent a lot of time with family. Its hard to believe that in 7 short weeks we will be adding another little one to our family and returning to MN with a new little person. It all seems to be coming way too fast.
