Here we are with my some of my Daddy's family having some special time with Sullivan.




And here I am seeing Sullivan at home for the first time! Even though I got to meet him in the NICU at the hospital, this was the first time at our house. Enjoy!

Pictures from Sullivan's first week

We are home and doing great! Sullivan is eating and sleeping well, so far, and I like to laugh a little bit whenever he makes any noise. I like to make sure I know where he is at all times too. He sure is a sweet brother!

Eating yummy donuts and apples at the hospital.


Getting dressed in Sullivan's going home outfit!

Ready to go home!
I love my baby brother.

Sullivan is here!!!

Thursday, August 14, 2008 by Joy
My baby brother, Sullivan Cole Primm, made his entrance into the world on Monday night, 8/11/08, at 9:42pm, weighing 7 lbs. 3 ozs. and was 19 3/4 inches long. Sullivan decided to join us 3 1/2 weeks early, so he caught all of us a little off guard! Mommy went in to the Dr. for a routine check, and the Dr. informed her and Daddy that she was 5-6 centimeters dilated! They monitored her contractions for a bit, and then decided to send her over to the hospital to get checked in.
After I had my dinner, I came up to the hospital to see Mommy and Daddy and play in the hospital room!
Sullivan came out seemingly very healthy. He got to spend some sweet time with Mommy and Daddy for about an hour after he was born. After they took him back to the nursery, he decided to let the nurses know that he was having some trouble with his lungs. So my sweet little baby brother got moved to the NICU and got to wear a neat oxygen mask! He improved daily, and I even got to go in to see him!!
I LOVED meeting my baby brother for the first time. I said "hi, Sullivan, hi!" I talked lots to him, and touched his hands and feet, and I especially liked wearing the cool gown I had to wear in the NICU!
Here's our new happy family - first family picture.
And here's my brother Sullivan yesterday morning after they took off his oxygen mask. They weaned him to just a little bitty oxygen tube, and over the course of today, they weaned him off of the oxygen all together. Mommy got to start feeding him today, and Sullivan's going to get to come home tomorrow! My new brother is super healthy now, and I'm looking forward to getting to hold him! We have LOTS more pictures, but we have lots going on and decided to just add a few at first for you to see. We'll add more as we have time. Thanks to you all who have prayed for us and my baby brother - we are so happy to be bringing him home, healthy and strong!

I'm a little fish!

We went swimming a few times at my cousins' house this weekend, and boy was it fun! Mommy and Daddy and I went last Tuesday evening for a swim, and I wasn't too excited about being out in the middle of the pool with them. But this time, M'laine took me out and I quickly adjusted and loved it! I kicked my legs and blew bubbles with my mouth. I decided that day that I love the pool!

Jumping in to Daddy!
I really like going up the stairs of the slide, but sometimes when I get to the top, I don't want to go down. Well, this time, I couldn't decide what I wanted to do - I kept changing my mind - and then finally I had eased myself far enough to the edge that I went down the slide to Mommy! It caught me by surprise a little at first, but it sure was fun!
Dad throwing me up HIGH in the air! I liked that a lot.
And here's some video of me and M'laine swimming.

Bikes, Pools, and Sleeping on the floor!

Tuesday, August 05, 2008 by Joy
The other day, Dad and I were playing outside when Dad called Mommy to come out and "see this". I was riding my bike really good, pushing the pedals all by myself! It's time for the red back on my bike to come off so I can ride it around like a big boy! (A big toddler boy, that is.)
It's been very hot where I live... or as I like to say these days, "very-very-very-very-very-very-very-very-very...HOT." (I like to throw a bunch of "very's" in front of everything.) So Dad filled up my pool, and we had some fun swimmin' time. And golfin' time, and baseball time... I sure have a fun Dad.
This weekend my Papa and M'laine came up to visit! I was a good share-er and let them sleep in my big boy bed. Since Sullivan's room is in the middle of getting fixed up and there is stuff everywhere in there, Mommy and Daddy made me a bed-of-blankets on the floor at the foot of my bed for me to sleep in. It sure was fun and comfy! Mommy snuck in while I was sleeping (don't be deceived by the light picture... the room was black, but the camera flash makes it look light) and snapped a few pics of me. I got to use my Mommy's blankie from when she was a little girl. It sure was a cozy bed!
