Blessing Day

This is a little late but we blessed Zoie Renee on September 5 2010 She wore the same dress her mommy wore when she got blessed so it was extra special. She looked so cute and didn't cry during the nice blessing her daddy gave her!

2 Months

I can't believe my baby is already 2 months old I swear it flies too dang fast! She is growing good she has the fattest little cheeks I love them! She is smiling and cooing which is just precious! We took her to the doctor the other day and here are her stats

9 pounds 6 ounces (12%)

21 1/4 inches (10%)

head is 37cm (10%)

Its kinda weird having her be so small Kiegen has always been on the other side of the spectrum (over 50%) We love having her around and her brother especially loves her it melts my heart to see them together she smiles biggest for him! We are so blessed with the kids we have!

1 Month Already

My baby is 1 month already! I don't know where the time goes it amazes me! She is growing and doing well! Kiegen is in love with her and is really protective its really cute!!

Zoie Renee

She is home! When she was taken to the nursery they noticed that she was grunting and retracting so they wanted to put her on oxygen to help her breathe. They put her on a cpap machine which didn't work so they took an xray to check her lungs which turned out were good. They decided she probably had an infection they put her on antibiotics and moved her to the NICU. The doctor wanted to do at least 7 days antibiotics but wanted to make sure that nothing grew on the blood culture when they got the results there was a growth which they thought was lysteria which is a dangerous and rare bacteria. They ran another test and found out it wasnt lysteria so she was set to do just 7 days. She had a pic line put in so they wouldn't have to poke her so many times. Her first pic line fell out so they did another one. Its quite a process I am so grateful for modern medicine! She got out of the hospital on Tuesday July 6th! It was a hard week going back and forth thank goodness for family that is willing to help! We love having her home and Kiegen just loves to hold her and look at her its really sweet!

SHE'S HERE!!!

Zoie Renee decided to join our family on June 28 2010 at 4:33pm she weighed in at 5 pounds 14 ounces and was 17 1/2 inches long. More info and pics to come later!

37 Weeks!

So she made it! We are officially full term!! YAY!! I am dilated to a 3 70% -1 station so hopefully soon since she feels like she is falling out!!

36 WEEKS!!

Tomorrow I will be 36 weeks. I have been having some good contractions which landed me in Labor and Delivery twice last week... so frustrating. However I think it will be sooner rather than later but we will see. I feel better about her being healthy since technically she is only 1 week away from being considered full term. I will post on Wednesday after my appointment if anyone is interested. Oh as of now I am dilated to a 2 with 80% effaced.

33 Weeks

Went to the Dr yesterday and things look good!! We didn't have any problems to report so hopefully this means I am going to make it to at least 37 weeks! He does want to do an ultrasound just to be sure in 3 weeks! I am super excited since at 36 weeks we should be able to see everything..hair,eyelashes,etc. So excited she will be here before we know it!

Finally Good News

We had another ultrasound yesterday and they found that the placenta has completely moved out of the way of the cervix so I wont have to have a C-Section!! (unless something goes wrong during delivery) It was very good news to hear now I can do pretty much anything and not have to worry about any serious bleeding! They are measuring her at 3 pounds 9 ounces! She looks great! We are on track for a July baby which is seriously coming so fast!

Look a likes

So Zoie Looks just like her brother. Her picture from this weeks ultrasound is first his is the bottom.
Things looked better today at a certain view it looked like she has plenty of room to come out without a C Section however at another view it looked like she didn't have enough space so we are doing another ultrasound in 2 weeks. She looks good though and they are guessing she weighs about 3 pounds.

27 Weeks

We went today for an ultrasound to see why I am having bleeding and pain. Zoie looks good heart rate is good getting close to high but good. They found that I have an accessory lobe which means my placenta is split and part of it is sitting more or less on my cervix if it doesn't move up by the time I deliver we are looking at a C-Section. I am hoping it moves but we wont play with fire any sign that its not normal we will just do it! I go in on April 30th for another ultrasound. I have a feeling that is going to be the case until she is born every 2 weeks going in. I was also put on pelvic rest which means no sex... also if I have pain or bleeding I am supposed to lay down so nothing goes wrong.

Its interesting because since day one I have felt that I would have this baby C-Section so I don't know if that was the Lords way of preparing me or if I am just crazy...

I will keep this updated and we learn more.

Pregnancy Update

So here we sit 25 1/2 weeks with baby Zoie and she is anxious to be out! I have been having some pretty good pain and increased fluid and bleeding so they thought that I was in pre term labor they did all kinds of tests and found good news that I'm not! They are going to do an ultrasound on the 13th just to make sure everything is ok. The dr did say that he thinks my body is preparing for and showing signs for pre term labor... hopefully its not the case we will see!

ITS A GIRL!!!

We found out on Tuesday Feb 16th we are having a little girl! VERY clear I will post pics later! So Zoie Renee Young is due July 12th we are SO excited!!

Ultrasound at 12 weeks

If you look close you can see the face hand and foot! So cute!!

We went in for our 12 week appointment on December 30 and they couldnt find the heartbeat so they got the ultrasound out and found the heartbeat it was strong the baby is in my back which explains the pain and why no heartbeat. I was just happy there was one! Its crazy I am 15 weeks and I swear I just found out! Amazing how the 2nd one has gone it seems like the first goes by slow because your so excited but the 2nd sneaks up on you and makes you freak that you might not be ready!! :) I still have 5 1/2 months to get ready!
