Well this has been a really crazy week. Thursday we noticed Dallan's loose tooth really needed to come out. The new one was already behind it. So we gave him an apple and had him start biting. It took most of the night to convince him that if he gave dad one shot he could get it out really quick. He finally agreed and here is his tooth and the hole it left behind. He is way excited to show everyone at school and now he knows the Tooth Fairy is real!!!!



Friday October 24, 2008 We welcomed Cody Allen Palmer to our family. The doctor started me because last week the Ultra Sounds estimated Cody to weigh 8 lbs 6 ozs and we were afraid there would be problems if we waited too much longer.

We checked into the hospital at 7:30 am and he came shooting out at 3:40pm. The labor was pretty uneventful. We just waited around and once he decided to come he pretty much just fell out. So it was easy that way.

Cody was 7LBS 12 OZS and 20 inches long.

So he surprised us all by not being as big as we expected.

When we were being moved to our room the nurse noticed that Cody was grunting a lot and said we needed to check that out. Well, Brent went with Cody and they were gone for a long time. Cody's doctor came in and said there was a problem with his lungs so he was sent to the NICU. The ICU for babies.

Unfortunately that is were he still is. He has pneumonia for sure but there is some other problems they are trying to figure out. As of this morning they will probably be doing a spinal tap to check for viruses.

It has been hard not having him with us and Dallan and Allie are wanting to see him so badly but have to wait. They are not allowed in the NICU. So we will try and keep everyone up to date. It has been hard to call and talk to people. (especailly for me. I'm a hormonal mess) But please keep us in your prayers. Here are some pictures for everyone to meet Cody.

This is one of my favorite pictures. Right after he was born. He had his eyes wide open and they are big and bright like Dallan's. Brent was trying to get a picture or them but the flash made him close his eyes everytime.

Cody and Mom cuddling to get warm.

Here are some pictures from the NICU. His feet are very long. He wouldn't keep his foot tucked in and had it propped out. I am guessing this is the foot I felt trying to escape the last few months. He is definately a kicker. The second picture is him hooked up on the CPAP. It helps keeps his lungs inflated. I think it looks miserable. Poor boy. He is a fighter. He gets so mad at the nurses when they have to change his diaper or run tests. He has already pulled out one IV. Hopefully he will leave his new one in. It doesn't help to have to be poked so many times.

We will try and keep this updated for everyone. Love ya!!
