New Addition to the Family


Noah Spencer Stephens
Born Aug 17 @ 10:07 pm
7 lbs 5 oz 20 inches

This is our new little boy born into our family! He is so cute and precious....and yes he has RED hair just like his older brother RJ! (P.S. sorry for the "risque" picture of me!!!)























RJ loves his new little brother. He loves to kiss him and likes to hold him!

Approx 12 hrs after Noah was born he was admitted to the NICU. He was having problems breathing. He also was breathing so hard he developed a pneumothorax (collapsed lung). They had him on a CPAP breathing machine and he had a chest tube to re-expand his lung. He was in the NICU for about 7 days. It is so hard to see your little one like that, but we are so grateful for the care he received and that he was able to come home with us after a week!

Congratulations! He's so cute. I'm sorry he had to go through so much the first week of his life. I'm glad he's home now.

Congratulations!! I LOVE his name of course, seeing as how I have a Noah also. I'm so glad he's doing well now. It's amazing what modern medicine can do!
