Nick's Herniated Belly Button Surgery

Nick had his belly button hernia surgery Tuesday. Dr. Locke said that it was a larger hernia than he had expected, but there were no problems.

Here's are two BEFORE shots...

Check out the lovely gown and yellow socks

Playing Thomas to keep him occupied

Checking his oxygen levels

Cheesing for the camera (he was much happier going in than coming out)

Off he goes...

Poor, Nick

Fun with Zach / Father's Day / Week 26

My friend Zach came over this week to play. We jumped in the bouncer and swam in the pool. Fun, fun!!!

This weekend, I spent time helping daddy.

First we watched golf together.

Then I helped him by the pool deck.

Mommy went swimming with me later because I was such a good helper.

For Father's Day, we went out to Big Dan and Big Mama's. I rode in Big Dan's boat and even got to drive. We tried to ride Daddy's jetski, but it wouldn't start so Mommy, Daddy, and I floated into the lake until Uncle Dan rescued us and let us use his jetski.

Later, I watched Uncle Dan go swimming with Khaki and ate some yummy ice cream.

Week 26 -

Harris is about 2 1/2 pounds now and 14 or so inches long. He's really been kicking. I am starting to distinguish feet from other body parts. It's hard to believe I've still got 14 more weeks to go.

Lazy 5 Ranch / Week 25

Nick's class at Abernethy Daycare went to the Lazy 5 Ranch in Mooresville Saturday to look at some of the animals they have been learning about in class. The kids got to ride on a horse-drawn wagon and feed the animals.

Check out my fish hat, I won't actually wear it, but isn't it cute?

Family Picture Time

Isn't there an animal that puts its head in the sand? I want to be him!

Feeding the Animals

Upset he can't feed the zebra because it bites.

Watching the fish swim in the pond

My absolute favorite Daddy & Nick picture

What a fun trip! Nick was so worn out he slept on the way home.

Week 25 -
Harris is starting to put on some fat now. He weighs between 1 1/2 - 2 lbs and is about 13 1/2 inches long. He is really kicking around now. I really wish he'd stop doing it at 5 in the morning though.

Thomas & Tweetsie / Week 24

Nick went with his friend Zach to see Thomas the Tank Engine at Tweetsie Railroad today. The boys had an awesome time even though it was wet and chilly.

Nick with Thomas

Horsies

Riding the Airplanes & Helicoptors

Riding the Boats

Riding the Scrambler with Daddy

And the one ride I could get on, the Ferris Wheel

The boys getting Tatoos (Zach got Thomas while Nick is sporting James)

Nick found a shower cap in my drawer the other day and insisted on wearing it

Nick was full of excess energy (imagine that), so Chris and I put his bouncer up in his playroom to let him jump. I think he liked it deflating just as well.

Week 24 -

I had another baby check this week. Everything is still going well. I'm putting on just enough weight and my blood pressure is good. Dr. Faruque said Harris's heartbeat was nice and strong and that he was very active. I go back again in 4 weeks and have a diabetes test. Harris weighs between 1 1/4 and 1 1/2 pounds now and is a little over 12 inches long.
