Noah's 5th Brithday!

My sweet boy turned 5 today! He is my miracle baby! His orginal due date was April 7th. I had a pretty normal pregnancy with him up until the third trimester. Then I was put on bedrest due to preterm labor. So i stayed on bedrest till February 23 when i went in for a drs appt and had extremely high blood pressure and that the only way to get it down was to deliver Noah. So 6 weeks early he arrived 6 hours after i was induced! He was born February 23rd @ 646 pm. He was born blue and was whisked away to the NICU. When i was was finally able to see him 6 hours later and the news was not good. He was such a big baby at 8lbs 8oz and being so big can greatly affect the outcome. The next morning the news was even worse they had given him 2 doses of surfactant which is what your lungs are suppose to make they minute you enter the world. They did not work. After 2 doses they tend not to do a 3rd. They were preparing us for the worse. I prayed like i had never prayed before. It also happened to be fat Tuesday. They next day we had visitors from St. Paul and did the ashes. I went to check on Noah before i was discharged and walked into the NICU and was greeted with a nurse holding my baby boy! no vent anymore! what a blessing. I look at Noah everyday and am grateful for everyday that i have spent with him~

Its a BOY!

I had my 20 week check up with my perinatologist (sp). Its a boy Logan Daniel! I am so excited i will have three sweet boys and one little princess. All of Logan's measurements are great. He measures about two weeks a head already. Which all of my boys tend to be on the larger side. I have been put on restrictive activities! which for those of you who know me its very hard for me to do. Because Logan is already so big he is putting a lot of pressure on my cervix which has been sewn shut! But i have to go in monthly for sonos to make sure it stays that way. At 32 weeks i will be put on permanent bed rest to hopefully get me to 38 weeks. Which Logan will be lucky enough to share his Birthday with his very big brother Cody! Please pray that i do make it to 38 weeks. With the other boys i did not.

Amelia's one year dr. appt

Miss Amelia had her one year check up on January 29Th. She is so different from the boys. They have always been top of the chart for weight and height. Amelia on the other hand is barely on the charts! She is 28in and weighs on 17lbs 8oz. She falls in about the 20Th percentile for her age. The family has nicknamed her Thumbalina because she is so little. Other than that she was as healthy as could be. She will be getting her blood work done to make sure she is not at risk for what the boys have. Which we do know she is not. She is though a possible carrier for the disease.
