Hope everyone had a happy, safe, and fun 4th of July. Dad is doing well. Has had trouble sleeping so the doctor gave him sleeping pills for the short term. Is having trouble getting comfortable but it is getting better slowly. Tonight he noticed that he was getting edema in his feet so we will be watching that over the weekend but other than that he is doing great. I am stressing out because I need to make sure I get all I need to get done by Thursday done. Just a few things but Friday will be here before I know it.

Amy is still at the hospital. Thank you all for the kind wishes and congratulations. Amy & Noah are having some alone time this evening. We expect them to be home tomorrow. Thought you would enjoy a sneak peek at what I am sure will be many more pictures to come ...

Our arrival at Good Samaritan Hospital ...

Enjoying her only food intake before birthing our baby ...

One of Noah Daniel's very first pictures ...

Showing off his lungs ...

He was kind enough to open his eyes for this one ...

Mommy & Baby (Don't they look great! I am one lucky man!) ...

Me & Baby ...

Wearing his patriotic beanie donated by the good folks at the hospital ...

And a few final close-ups of our darling baby boy ...

More to come soon. We are truly blessed!

Bernadette - Lizzy's outfit turned out just as you described it yesterday! I love it. I hope she does too. I personally like the daisy buttons, but big black or white ones would also look neat.

Thanks! It was easier than I feared. It took a few tries to get the skirt pieces cut right so it would be opposite on the front & back-I was trying to hard.

Hi folks..

Glynis...I have enjoyed reading your trip report. I am thinking of doing a trip to Germany...Bill is being resistant though. He is trying to tell me that visiting Germany in Epcot is enough for him!!

Man after my own heart....

Sorry I have been MIA again.

I could use some extra prayers and pixie dust if you have any to spare. I know that the DDA is a powerful group, and I could use all the extra power that I can get.

Mom was admitted into the hospital last week because she fell. She also went into one of her episodes that she couldn't remember anything or anyone. We all thought that maybe she had a mini stroke. She was getting better and was due to be released on Monday morning. Around noon on Monday she took a turn for the worse, and isn't responding to anything. The doctors really don't know what is the problem. She is having another test run today. They think she might be having seizures, but are not sure. She sure doesn't look good. My brothers and I don't really want to remember mom this way.
Normally she perks back up within 24 hours or so, but she has shown no improvement. Actually she is falling deeper and deeper into a coma like state.
Sorry for the downer post. But I really need all the help I can get right now.

I'm so sorry Tom. Best wishes for your Mom.

Well we got a date set for Aidan and his next Cochlear Surgery. He will be operated on the 17th of July with a quick recovery hopefully. We then travel down to Galveston the following week for Mya's procedure. What an event filled month it will be for us.

All the time daddy is suppose to be looking for employment.

Fun times!

Great news Mac. Hope all surgeries go wonderfully well and a job is in the horizon soon.

Baby Noah Daniel is here!

He arrived at 1:35pm, weighing 8lb 8 oz and measuring 21 inches long! He and Amy are resting and recovering and will hopefully go home tomorrow afternoon. Alyssa and Matthew visited this afternoon and are very excited about their new baby brother!

Woo Hoo!!

Hang in there Karen. Glad to see your dad is doing better.

Glynis and Elin, great trip reports.

Woo Hoo Debbie on the new grandbaby!!

Kevin thank you for sharing your pictures! Noah is so cute & I love the 4th of July beanie

Amy you look so good, I would be embarrassed to show pictures of myself at the hospital

Kevin you have a beautiful family, you are very blessed

 

[ReAnSt]

Becky, where is your signature???

I was going to change it and never finished doing so. I am still going on my trip. I just have to figure out what I am putting in its place.

Thanks for all the support about my weight loss. My kids have decided to add a little incentive...

I do know my kids love me. We are in a 13 week challenge to lose weight by the time my DDil wants to hire a photographer for family pictures.

She decided to really sweeten the pot. If I win, the kids will take to me to California Grill in March, no whining allowed, their treat. They will hire Fairy Godmother to come and watch the kids. If I lose, ***I*** am the Fairy Godmother and get to watch the kids after they have amped them up on sugar and cafenine. They will go to the dining place of their choice.

And then the side bet. The child who loses the least has to accompany me on one of my "special days" no whining. They have to wear the matching t-shirt, lighted Mickey ears hats, watch teh parades, the shows and see the fireworks. Hopefully a late night. I showed my son the Pirate and Princess party. He said he was going to make Nicole Richie look like she needed liposuction.

And so it's on!! We are going to use the starting weight last week from the Wii. All of our little bloated Miis.

The shirt is going to say Making magical memories with my Mom....

Rainy, so hopefully today will be nicer and we can have a small cookout.

Hi, Heidi! How was your July 4th?

 

[Pooh67_68]

Tom, hope they can figure out what is wrong with mom.

 

[Pooh67_68]

Welcome to the world Noah.

Kevin great pictures.

 

[Pooh67_68]

Karen glad to hear that your dad is improving.

 

[Pooh67_68]

go Stephanie go

What a great treat when you win the weight loss battle.

Yes I am up very late. John and I are total night owls, but we don't get to say up late often, so with him having a long weekend we decided to stay up as late as possible.
