Clint Hearts Grandma

Grandma FINALLY made it home to meet Clint and they hit it off.

Tuesday [11/24/09] was Clint's first day in the activity gym that the fab Admissions Office gave us at our shower.  Grandma was there to share it with him. He loves that Grandma gets right down to his level.




She tells him great stories



And loves to snuggle as much as he does.  We are not sure who wore who out:



Update about Mama and Clint:  We are now into Ziggy Marley's [son of the late Bob Marley] new album Family Time.




This is non-related but I just love it  =]  Press Play you will not regret it!

I wear Lime Green for Dean


In an effort to raise funding for my brother and his family the communities in Northern MN created t-shirts that say I wear lime green for Dean.  Here Clint is sporting a lime green cloth diaper in honor of Dean today.  Despite having MAJOR side effects to one of the investigational cancer treatment drugs and having open heart surgery to repair a leaky heart valve ... he continues with the other treatment that has proven success.  Today is another day of a five hour treatment.  Thankfully, the Professional Grandma [our Mom ] is there to take him and keep him company.  Below is a little video to help entertain them during this long process.

The hair - everyone but one person guessed he would have hair and boy does he have it!!

Treat after delivery - couple people guessed water which I gave them points for bc all I wanted was a drink but apple juice was what I drank the whole time!!

Everyone thought Dan would do fine during the delivery and he was a rock star [or at least the back up band].

Swear word - everyone got this wrong

JR is the winner with 35 points ... I guess I owe him winter boots now. Send size and preference.

Belly Time

Every day we put Clint in the sunlight to help out with his jaundice.  Today I decided to combine it with Belly Time.  Dan loved this and wanted to "help" Clint enjoy Belly Time.  I could barely stop laughing long enough to film the two of them .. Enjoy!

Clint Scene One

Clint was just released from the NICU and was able to sleep in our room for the rest of our time at Crouse.  Here is the first footage of our little man Clint:

Clint is Here =]

I told you so, there was no more room for Clint in the U-tel.  A week ago today Clint decided to surprise his Mama and Dad and come 5 weeks early.  We were rushed via ambulance to Crouse Hospital so Clint would have access to the NICU.  They were worried about his lungs because he was so early. Luckily, he did not have any problems with his lungs just a little blood sugar issue which was fixed within a day.

It was an amazing experience.  The people at Crouse truly respected my birth plan as much as they could, given the circumstances.  Dan was able to pull Clint out and cut the cord and I became a Mama to a handsome little boy.  

Here are the dets:
Born Thursday, October 29, 2009 at 4:22pm
Weighed 5lbs 5oz
Height 18.5"
Full, I mean FULL head of black hair
Long legs and arms that do not stop moving EVER ...Ok when he sleeps SOMETIMES

Here are some pictures:
