Snafu #1

Well, the surgery is off until the 27th. Nice. Nate is sick as a dog with what appears to be a flare-up of his Crohn's disease - the first, I might add, since January. Seriously, what are the chances? So although I do want to be done being pregnant asap, we are now willing the baby not to come very early, since the surgery will be less than a month before the due date.

    First of all, I'm so sorry! Secondly, you probably shouldn't jinx yourself by numbering your snafus. And thirdly, try to look on the bright side. Maybe in treating him the doctors will discover something that will help them perform the surgery better. Or maybe his body wasn't quite ready for the operation, and so Heavenly Father stepped in and postponed it. Either way, you're still in our prayers. Love you!

We need to sit down and document the whole birth story, but the idea is awfully daunting for a pair of sleep-deprived, worn-out parents at 10:00 at night. So, let's just say that little Leah ViAnn came Monday morning, May 7, at 7:26 a.m., 20 inches long, 7 lb 14 oz. And she's perfect. Enjoy the pictures.

Addison is cute. Really cute. So cute that today I went and got his cuteness professionally documented. Thanks to an amazing coupon, we went to Kiddie Kandids and got some amazing pictures for FREE. They took a ton of pictures and were super nice and we got a collage-type print with his name on it for zero dollars and zero cents, plus they emailed us the individual portraits for free. They didn't even pressure us to buy anything else or come back next month or anything, and I left the store photos in hand. They only took about five minutes to print. I'm a believer. If anyone is intrigued, I've got a few coupons to give away. Just let me know if you want one. You have to get moving because they expire on August 2, but it is so worth it. And there are Kiddie Kandids stores all over the country, so I'd be pleased as punch to mail you a coupon. So now that the commercial is over, I'm pleased to report that Addison did great. I think he was the only kid there tha...

Sigh

Something really really good must be coming our way, because once again, we're having a bit of a tough time. Nate spent Saturday throwing his guts up and hurting a lot. We called our doctor in the evening and they told us to head to the ER to get some fluids back in him so he could kick whatever was bugging him. One of my visiting teachers came over after we put Addison down and we headed up to McKay-Dee in Ogden. We only had to wait about an hour and a half to be seen, and they were quick about giving Nate a fabulous hospital gown, morphine, anti-nausea stuff, an iv full of saline, and a barf bag. We talked to a doctor shortly thereafter and explained about Nate's Crohn's Disease and they decided to do a CT scan of his intestines. There was a 2 hour prep where he had to drink two giant cups of disgustingness and the x-ray was scheduled for 1:30 a.m. We sat around, read, chatted, and tried to ignore the noise coming through our shower curtain that served as a door. Then at...
