Little to say, it has been a while. The past few months have been the happiest and busiest months of our lives! We absolutely love our new addition, Palmer David Johnson. He arrived at 4:13 pm October 15th (he now shares a birthday with his grandmother!) He entered the world with nothing but a grand entrance. He had several nurses in the delivery room, along with the doctor, Mom and Dad. About a half hour before he was born our main nurse, Jackie (it was easy to remember!) started trying different methods to get Palmer to turn. He did not want to cooperate! The next thing I knew, about ten nurses rushed into the room along with my doctor and Jackie put an oxygen mask over my face. Not only was he not turning but his heart rate started slowing down. The doctor informed me that it was time to push. Palmer was not handling delivery very well and they needed to get him out, they discovered that the chord was wrapped around his neck twice. I only remember pushing a few times and he was born. I was a nervous wreck! They didn't tell me how he was doing and I hadn't heard him cry yet. To my great relief I heard him cry and they started to tell me how he was doing. His APGAR scores were getting better after a few minutes. They took him to the NICU for half an hour, but thankfully I got to see him and give him kisses!!! He gained his strength back very quickly and then we got to take him up to our room. It was amazing to finally have him here! Ever since he got here he has been healthy and strong! He is almost as tall already as his 2 year old niece. We absolutley love being parents:) He is such a good baby and we are blessed to call him our own! Here are a few facts about our little man:
*He started rice cereal two weeks ago and he absolutely loves it!
*His favorite person is his cousin Nate. Nate loves to read to Palmer and gets so excited when he comes to visit!
*Palmer loves his daddy! He has a boys night on Wednesdays when I have to work, and Palmer loves it! I come home to two tired boys because they've exerted so much energy!
*Palmer loves the car
*He loves to pull hair! We are trying to teach him other methods of entertainment.
*He slept through the night for the first time about a week ago.
*He is the greatest blessing in our lives and we love him more than we ever thought possible!!!
We are eternally grateful to our Father in Heaven who sent this angel to us safely! We are so grateful that Palmer is so happy! He brightens each moment we're with him:)
