We are proud to announce the arrival of our newest addition. Noah Riley Nelson was born on January 28th weighing 6 lbs 12 oz and 18 1/2 inches long. He looks just like Aaron and has lots of dark brown hair. The delivery couldn't have gone smoother and we feel very blessed to have a healthy baby boy and a healthy mommy as a result. The boys absolutely love him and can't wait until he's old enough to laugh at the funny things they do. I can already tell he's going to chunk up quickly because this kid is a bottomless pit. He wants to eat all of the time which leaves little time to get anything else done. I feel productive if I can get a shower in during the day. Yesterday we took Noah to the doctor to check him for Jaundice and on the way Jonas asked if he was going to get a prize. I told him I think they only give prizes to the patient and Noah is the patient this time. So, after being on his best behavior during the visit Jonas says, "I'm so excited to get my prize!!! I've been so patient haven't I mom." Just for that comment he got a prize. The doctor said that made his day. Kids are so funny. My parents have been in town from St. George helping us with the kids, housework, etc. and it's been nice having them here. Hopefully I'll get some kind of routine down soon. It's been awhile since we've experienced the whole baby stage. I totally forgot about packing a diaper bag for yesterdays appointment and realized how much thought and planning goes in when going anywhere with a baby. I did manage to remember to pump some breast milk. Of course that does no good when you forget it on the kitchen counter. Anyway...we are so happy and love all of our boys so much. I wonder if Lucas was giving Noah some last min. instructions and warnings about his new big brothers before he was born. Who knows? What a miracle these little spirits are though. You can just tell they come straight from our Heavenly Fathers arms. I asked Aaron to post a few pics soon so hopefully they will be up shortly. I want to thank all of you for your friendship, love, and support! We love you!!!

Congratulations Shannon and Aaron! I was just thinking of you and wondering when the big day was. Happy Birthday little Noah :) I have about 5 weeks to go to meet our new little boy! Take care and try and get some sleep :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I am so glad that everything went smoothly. I hope that things continue to go smooth and you get some rest while you have the extra hands. Can't wait for some pictures.
ReplyDeleteYIPPEEE!!!!! We are so happy for you! We are excited to have another little one in the family! I feel your pain with the feedings and feeling like you never get anything done, but we are up to almost 6 months now, so the schedule is starting to get better and the hours of sleep are slowly extending. We are coming down this summer and would love to visit with you and meet little Noah! We sure love you guys...Hope your recovery goes well.
