The horse

We went to visit Beauty and let her now that I hadn't forgotten about her. She looked great and she still remembers me! We pulled up and she was in the back of the field. I got out of the car and whistled and she lifted her head, and then I called her name and she let out a whinny and came right over. She stayed long enough for me to rub on her and tell her I love her before she went back to eating her grass! She seemed very happy which made me happy, she also has new friends (she is the one on the right).

Hayley goes Kayaking!

My Mom took Hayley to Fountainbleau State Park again this week but this time they brought the kayak. Hayley had a great time with her D.D and can't wait to go again.

Rough Week

Noah had a rough week last week, spending a total of 5 days in the hospital. He was initially diagnosed with pneumonia but it was later decided that he probably did not have pneumonia but had aspirated some milk as a result of bad reflux. He also had a low-grade fever and high white blood cell count, so they said he could have been also battling a virus as well. He stayed for 3 days the first visit, then came home for a day, and then went back for 2 more days when the fever re-surfaced and he would not stop crying. We are home now and he seems somewhat better. He is still very fussy and spits up large amounts occasionally but is gaining significant weight. He is now weighing 9 lbs 12 oz. I didn't think to bring the camera to the hospital so I don't have any pics of him from the hospital, but I took some when we got home.

Day at the Park

We went with D.D to Fountainbleau State Park today. Hayley had a great time playing on the beach of Lake Pontchartrain. It was her first beach experience. It was also quite comical to watch her and D.D try to fly a kite! Mom really got into it! They were able to get it in the air a couple of times but not for long. We will try again next time with a better kite. Noah spent his first beach experience sleeping in the shade. After Hayley was finished playing on the beach, we took a walk on the nature trail which turned out to be a lot longer than we had remembered! I'm exhausted and sun burnt but it was well worth it- we had a lot of fun.
Noah is 2 weeks old today. He had his doctor's appointment yesterday. He weighs 8 pounds already! He is still not sleeping at night but hopefully that will improve with time. Other than that, he is a very good baby!

Welcome Home Noah!

We left the hospital Thursday evening and went straight to Mom's house to have dinner. Dinner was great and Mom held Noah! Hayley had fun and loved her D.D's salad! After dinner, we went to my work to pick up Bailey and Maggie and then took our very full car home! Noah is doing very well. Although, he wants to sleep all day and eat all night, but we're working on that. Hayley has done exceptionally well with accepting her role as big sister. The only time she is really jealous is late at night and early in the morning when she is sleepy. Other than that, she has been very loving towards Noah as well as very helpful. We're very proud of her. She has also decided that since she is a big sister now, she is a big girl and does not want to wear diapers anymore. She is on her second day of wearing "big girl panties" and has not had a single accident! We are having a BBQ on Sunday to invite over some friends. Hayley is quite excited about that. Well, thats all that is new for now.

Noah meets his big sister

Hayley came to the hospital on Wednesday to meet Noah. She also spent all day with us there on Thursday until we were discharged. She is very proud of her little brother- although a bit jealous too!!

Baby Noah has arrived!

Noah Kenneth Navarro was born at 12:05p.m on Tuesday, April 15. He weighed 7 lbs. 6 oz. He is doing well. He has had a little trouble eating but they expect that to improve over the next 24 hours. He has not met his big sister yet. We have decided for Hayley not to visit today because she would get too worked up when it came time to leave. We can't wait to see her reaction to her new baby brother. I included a pre-delivery picture from this weekend per request of my older sister! I hope yall enjoy the pictures!
