Thompson Family: July 2012

Dress Up

The kids have been playing dress up like crazy lately. They come up with some crazy combinations sometimes. I love that Z is a pirate batman.

This is the boys with their friend Matt. They were calling themselves the fighting ninjas.

This devil costume makes me laugh so hard because Zadek thinks it's a chicken costume. He calls it that because of the black wings on the back. Haha!!

Here's a just because. Everyone should have the classic dad photo. I think every dad in history has fallen asleep with the little one on their chest. Aren't they both so cute!!

2 weeks old

Senedra went in for her 2 week appointment. Here are her stats:

Height: 21.5 inches. 85 %

Weight: 9 pounds 5 oz 76%

Head: 36cm 44%

So they like them to be back up to their birth rate by the time that they come to their 2 week appointment and we more than surpassed that expectation. She is definitely eating and growing:)

While at her appointment the Dr said "Did they tell you in the hospital that she has a heart murmur?" No. no they did not. News to me. They ended up keeping me at the Dr. for quite awhile, while they took vitals and determined whether or not I would be going to see a pediatric cardiologist or the hospital. Her vitals came back OK so I ended up being referred to a specialist. We went the next day to the specialist where they performed multiple tests and determined that she has VSD (Ventricular Septal Defect) It needs to be closed. Because of the size of the hole in her heart the Dr couldn't tell us if it would close on it's own or if she'd need surgery. For now we have a list of symptoms to watch for and another appointment in a month. Best case scenario: Hole closes on it's own and we're good to go. Worst case scenario: The hole doesn't close, she needs medications and then at 6 months or so they do open heart surgery to close the hole. For now, we watch and wait. Poor little girl!

Just some random pictures.

He has decided that it's fun to "lay down" in the tub!

My two babies. How did Zadek get so big?

Cael's first t-ball game.

I love that she's totally hates this bow. "What's going on guys?"

Hair cut time!!

The splash park is so much fun!!

Senedra Doreen Thompson

Senedra was born on June 15 2012. She was 8 pounds 8 oz and 20 inches long. Not too bad for being 2 weeks early! I was induced but was already having contractions every 6 minutes and dilated to a 3 when we got to the hospital on Friday morning. The Dr broke my water at about 8:50 and then they started my pitocin drip. At about 10:30 I decided to start the epidural. I was glad that I did because they had 6 other people in labor and when the nurse came back she's like there's a line and everyone is waiting now. I was at a 7 at 12:45 and then by 1pm I was fully dilated and after 3 pushes our little girl joined the family. She was born at 1:15. The boys of course love her to death and Zadek kept saying "Mine baby" and didn't want anyone else to get a turn to hold her.
