Okay I am sorry for the delay - these past few days have been a whirlwind!!! Full of all kinds of emotions! Don't worry I am at peace about the entire thing...... now on to what you have ALL been waiting for... INTRODUCING...

Blaze was born at 37 weeks and his lungs were still a little underdeveloped! It also didn't help that he took his first breathe before he was delivered (causing amniotic fluid to fill his lungs)! He was working really hard to breathe...therefore he was sent to the NICU! He is doing great! His lungs are filling up and we have discovered that he is a feisty little guy-he is definitely living up to his name! He has fought hard to get better and his sweet nurses are amazed he kept fighting (they thought for sure he would eventually wear himself out)!!
Okay here are some pictures of his stay in the nursery... Kinzie and Jackson got to see him before he was sent to the NICU...
In this picture Blaze is still a 8 pounder FAT and SASSY:) This is were Blaze has been hanging out the past few days...
He has made amazing progress - he still has to be on antibiotics for a few more days! We don't have a specific day he will be coming home - we are praying soon! He has lost down to 7 lbs almost 1 oz (tiny for a farrell/norton kid)!
I know that I probably didn't answer any of your questions and I/We would love too so please ask(we have some pretty fun stories to tell)! We just wanted to introduce our newest addition and ask that you hold him up to God when you pray! Thank you all so much for the support and encouragement! Enjoy Blaze!!

I hated to hear that he was in the NICU. I am so glad that he is doing well and making great progress! Can't wait to see him!
We are so proud of little Blaze...he's a fighter! I can see that Arson & Blaze will have fun together one day real soon. Please let me know when y'all want us to start bringing food...we are ready!
Love y'all!
thank you for posting pictures!! i've been going crazy to see him. my kiddos have some kind of crud and i didn't think it wise to come up to the hospital. :(
glad he's doing better. can't wait for you to get that cutie home! i know you can't either! ;)
We can hardly wait to see this new little guy. Sounds like he is coming along great for what he has gone through so far. He certainly does look health enough. Can't wait to see you all.
