Quick update!




Well my angel and I got to go home last Wednesday. She has been to the doctor twice to be checked and both times they saw considerable improvement in her jaundice. The pediatrician told me today that Kailey had given her a real scare and that is why she wanted to see her today. She told me that she had been one point away from being put in NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit). She then proceeded to tell me that a severe case of jaundice can lead to needing IV antibiotics (which is what Kailey would have received in NICU) and also the possibility of needing a transfusion. She did atleast tell me all of this after she told me how great Kailey was doing.




The boys are doing really great with her. We have our typical bouts with pushing the limits but hey what mom doesn't deal with that. They think she is pretty amazing!




I am doing well after my surgery. I got my tubes tied for those of you who didn't know. I finally got the approval I needed for the procedure to be done. I know that not all agree with my decision but it was not a decision made lightly nor was it made on my own. RC and I prayed about this for a long time and we agreed that it was God's will for us to have it done. And quite frankly for those who don't approve its really not your decision it is ours. (Sorry had to get that off my chest.)




RC is absolutely head over hills wrapped around his little girls finger!!!! You should see him all gagga about her. He comes in asks about is pretty girl and just talks to her. Wow I am definately no longer his one and only!! He has a new girl in his life.




Just a quick note you can see more pics on my moms blog http://oldmotherhubbardsharesall.blogspot.com/

Welcome to the World!!!!

Wow what an interesting weekend. First of all we had a big family Thanksgiving Feast with RC's side of the family. Some of his cousins came down and his brother was in town. It was delicious. Then we decided to go bowling. Take it from me bowling and 9 months pregnant not a good mix. So the RC and his brother got an extra turn, and the boys bowled on the lane next to them. Well we got home (minus the 2 older boys who spent the night at NaNa's) and RC, Andrew and I set down to watch some football. After being home about a half hour to an hour, I yelled for RC to start getting ready to go my water had just broke. We headed up to the hospital about 10:00 pm, and sure enough after some pitocin and an epidural Miss Kailey Ashlyn joined us at 4:49am November 18, 2007. Something I find really cool is that she shares her birthday with her Uncle Shawn, who is 24 today (Happy Birthday!) So here you go meet our newest addition Kailey, who weighed in at 7lbs 4oz. and was 20 1/4 long!
