We are thrilled to be the Thomas five now. Noah joined us August 18th, weighing in at 5lbs 5 ounces 18 inches long. Yes, he was a little squirt. Unfortunatly he had to be taken a month early. We were trying to wait it out, but it just didn't happen. I was having placenta failure . After a week in the hospital on heavy bed rest our Doctor decided to go ahead and take him.
He almost immediatly had problems breathing so they gave him oxygen and transported him to a different hospital so he could be treated in a NICU. He was our first family member to ever have a ride in a ambulance and hopefully the last. Yes, we did almost have a nervous breakdown.
Here's a picture of poor Noah with all his attachments. He spent two weeks in the NICU. The kids were such troopers. They spent those weeks with Grandma Haroldsen. Thank goodness for family. We don't know what we would do with out them.
Here's Noah towards the end of his stay. The last tube to be removed was his feeding tube. That was a great day! We are so grateful for the sweet addition he is to our family.

Glad you're back! He's such a cute baby, tubes and all!
Somebody sure was looking out for him!
I had never heard the story of Noah's birth, what a story to remember. We're glad he made it safely.
