First Trip Out!

Yesterday we had a very eventful outing. On our list: Pediatrician, Costco, and Chiropractor.

But first Nathan's paternal Grandmother stopped by to hold her newest Great Grandson for the first time. There's nothing like celebrating 4 generations! She is exactly half way between our Noah and his 4th Great Grandfather Noah Crider.

The pediatrician visit was great! He told us we were doing everything right... and Noah is already back up to his birth weight at 8 lbs 3 oz. Something that usually takes 10-14 days. Go Mom!!!

At Costco... we picked up some pictures that correspond with Noah's birth announcement. Visitors will get one and anyone else we run into the next few weeks. Sorry... it cannot be mailed(Hint). Don't worry... those who visited us in the hospital get one too. =)

Then to the Chiropractor. As you can imagine, the baby can have a good but of subluxation, or misalignment in the body from the birthing process. This visit is to get Noah's life off to a great start with perfect alignment and therefore the muscles, nervous system, and all other organs functioning at their highest level to make living easier and more comfortable. So... the right hand of the Chiropractor was on a pressure point that allow Noah to completely go limp. (I gotta find that spot!) and then his left hand did the adjustment behind his ear by gently pushing and allowing the vertebrae themselves to move into place. Cool!!!! His adjustment was great and that meant no more visits this week! What a great baby!!!

Then back to home... but about 1 1/2 hours later than we expected. There, our parents gathered and the first Mays made us salmon and vegetables! Yummy!

So.... life is great (minus the lack of sleep). We feel truly blessed by our family and friends who have been an incredible support system.
