She's here!

By -

Hello Family and Friends! If you haven't heard yet, our little baby girl Adalyn was born Tuesday, March 15th at about 2pm. She was born by emergency C-section (they knocked Nicole all the way out because there wasn't time for anything else) and was under a lot of distress. After a wonderful blessing from her Grandpa Hicken and Daddy she was life flighted to McKay-Dee Hospital in Ogden. She is still in the NICU there but is making great strides each and every day. 

Her mommy and daddy named her Adalyn Julene Anderson-- after her great grandma Anderson (Julene). She has already blessed their lives immensely and she has benefited so much from prayers and fasts of family and friends. She has a long road ahead of her, but she is a fighter! Her grandpa Hicken calls her his little Millie- because she is a miracle baby and in Spanish, miracle is Milagro. She is a miracle and we are so happy to have her. 

Love you all!

*Stalker moment* When I first saw the title of the post I knew I instantly would need to ask if I would be able to handle it, but seems as though things went a little bit differently. Hope all is well! She is a beautiful baby! Congrats!

The NICU is tough. As much as you want to be there 100% of the time, you have to take care of yourself (especially after a c-section). And take my word for it, get as much rest as you can - recovering from the surgery without the sleep deprivation is one of the things that made our boys NICU stay a blessing to us (that and the expert care they received of course). It was also helpful for Nick to get a parenting "crash course" from the nurses there (diapers, feeding, baths, etc.) Hopefully you and Talon are able to really participate in little A's care, especially as she gets bigger and more stable (that really helped me bond with my little guys while they were in the hospital). I also recommend Kangaroo Care. It helps with the bonding, and helps your kid improve faster. Anyway, your little family will come through this even stronger at the end. She is absolutely beautiful and Nicole, you look fantastic! You're all in our prayers.

She is a BEAUTIFUL little thing!! What an exciting thing for your little family! I told my sister about what was going on with little Adalyn, and she told me later that night that she had put Adalyn's name on the temple prayer roll. I thought that was something you might like to know. Congrats!!

What a beautiful baby. I'm glad she is improving and I hope she'll be able to come home soon. We went through having babies in the NICU and it is not fun. I'm sure it's even harder having her in Ogden. Good luck with everything. Congratulations on your adorable little girl!

Congrats! March 15 is a great day with great people born on it (like me)! She will always be able to remember the day that Julius Caesar died. Awesome!

Oh so precious! The girls were excited to be able to see a picture of her. FYI, if you get a chance, we had a little "makeshift" recital on Monday night...even made the girls dress up :) so you can check it out on our blog.

Delivery Day

By -
Well folks- it's D-Day! After talking some more and discussing with us- our doctors (a team of OBs and Perinatologists) have decided that it is best for baby boy not to have any risks with the placenta and come today. So- He's going to be very early- they will have completed the steroids though, so that is helpful. But we all feel that this is the very best thing for HIM. I'll have a c-section- hopefully regular this time- this afternoon and we will have a baby boy by this evening. He will go straight to the NICU and we'll just see how he does to know more about how long he will be there. Again, thank you all for your comments, prayers, texts, phone calls. We appreciate all of you and your love and support for us! Love you all- remember we are in His hands. And who's better to be in.
