Colby visited a friend!

Trying to get caught up on blogging....

On 9/14 Colby, Jimmy, and I visited some friends of ours who have a baby boy that is 9 days older than Colby.  I met Kathryn through on online group for women expecting babies in September 2010, and since they live in Bellilngham, I was able to meet up with her and another momma when we were all still pregnant.  Well, their baby was born 9 days before Colby, and had some serious complications in the first few days of his life.  He popped a hole in his lung, and had to be airlifted to Children's Hospital in Seattle the day after he was born.  Mom and dad followed him down, and spent three long weeks with him there.  He spent around a week in the NICU, and continued to be on supplemented oxygen until about 2 days before he left the hospital.

We visited them on Tuesday the 14th - and he got to go home on Thursday the 16th!  The day we visited him was the last full day he was on supplemental oxygen!  His due date was Friday the 17th - so he got home before his due date which was an awesome feat!

We had fun visiting them.  We compared all the little things both boys do - their noises, the faces they make, their habits.  So much fun!  We also brought them some fancy shmancy (not at all) burgers and fries - they had been eating cafeteria food for almost three weeks!

Here are some pictures from our visit:

 Of course we had to swap babies! :-)

Kathryn and Colby - they kept checking out his clothes and shoes... their baby boy got to hang out in just a diaper and blanket due to all his cords!

Me and baby Wes

So cute!

Look at that sweet little face!

Two babies!!! :-)

I think this is my "see Jimmy, we need more" face! :-) LOL
