Well we had our first big outing since Harmon has joined our family. Last weekend we headed to Panguitch for a few days. We had a great time!! The whole Henrie family was there. All 4 of my brothers with wives, kids, and fiancee's. Needless to say it was a snug fit with everyone at Grandma and Grandpa's house, but it was so fun to see everyone. It was a little chilly and windy, but we did manage to make it outside to fly kites with all the kids. I think the adults had more fun than the kids did--I havn't flown a kite in years!! Since we've been home we are just detoxing the kids from the Grandma and Grandpa High and getting Harmon used to not being held all the time. We were so glad we could go--we love spending time with family!!
Well I've decided the hardest part about having a new baby is keeping the other two kids entertained. They seem to be bored all the time!! Dad has done well trying to keep them busy, with playing T-Ball and running thru the sprinklers. Haley has been invited to play with a few friends to and that helps the time pass. Mom and Harmon are both doing well. Harmon is back up to his birth weight and growing normally. We had some discouraging news the other day when our Doctor called to let us know that Harmon wants to be like his big sister and he has Hypothyroidism just like her. We've already started him on some medication and are trying to get into the specialist. It's a relief that they found it before it was a problem and we are relieved to know that it's treatable. We truly have been blessed with healthy kids and we are so thankful for that!
Yes he's finally here! Harmon Brent Nelson was born on Saturday, April 5. He was 9 lbs 5 oz and 20 1/2 inches long. Yes he is huge!! The Doctor and nurses were all shocked at how huge he was, not as shocked as mom and dad though. He has been a wonderful baby so far, he is just very tired and hungry. Haley and Hunter have been wonderful with him. Haley wants to hold him all the time and Hunter can't stand it when he cries. He wants to give him his binki all the time. Mom is doing well and recovering quickly--Dad has been a great help and does his best to keep the kids entertained and happy. Our friends and family have been such a great help with everything. We want to thank everyone who helped with Haley and Hunter while we were in the hospital and all the great food that has been coming in.
