My Little Bug

I can't help but see a Coop as a little pincher bug when his NAM is out and the steri strips are left on.

Lassen National Park

Sunday, the family took a spontaneous trip to Lassen National Park in CA. This was the first of many hikes to come with Cooper. The trail we took was 3 1/2 hours both ways leading to 3 gorgeous lakes. Terrace, Shadow, and Cliff Lakes. Thank God for my Moby Wrap. Coop slept the entire time. Luckily, we left just in time because once we got in the car, a warning for severe thunder/lightning storms broadcasted on the radio. The storm was headed to the mountains we were hiking!

Nasal Stent Added to NAM Tomorrow

We are looking forward to getting the nasal stent put in tomorrow. We're one step closer to his surgery, and the weekly 5 hour roundtrip drive is completely worth it seeing the progress the NAM has made. The orthodontist said that this will be the smallest stent he's ever made. It doesn't look like Cooper has that much cartilage to help form his nostril, but we're taking the, "it doesn't hurt to try" approach. Hopefully everything will go well tomorrow, it is expected to be a three hour appointment :-/ Let's see if I can keep a 3 month old baby entertained that long in an office. Wish me good luck! I'll post pics after the appt.
