Hey!!

It's been a loooong time huh? Well, I don't have but a few seconds at the moment, but I wanted to let everyone know that all is fine & that baby Cole arrived....although 6 wks early. I developed preeclampsia & began having stomach pains which turned out to be my liver & kidneys as they were beginning to go downhill trying to support the pregnancy (all complications of preeclampsia). So I was admitted to the hospital on Mon. June 12th thinking I would be there long term (for at least 3 wks before they would take the baby), but after my health & the baby's began to turn downhill, they decided to take him on Thurs. June 15th. Cole Thomas was born at 7:47 pm & weighed in at 5lbs 1.4 oz & was 17 1/2 inches long. I remained in the hospital until the following Tues., but Cole was in the NICU for a little over a week. He weighed 4 lbs 13 oz when we were able to bring him home.

Cole is now 3 weeks old & doing great. I'm doing fine as well....just a little tired (these feedings every 2-3 hrs takes a toll on you!) The dogs absolutely LOVE him & Wrigley & DD are already showing protective tendencies over him when other people come over.

I'm not at my home right now, but when I get back home, I will post some pics of our newest addition.

Take care.

Here are a few pics:
