To the stress

By -
One of my favorite movies from growing up is "The Princess Bride".
So fun and quotable, and yet, epically great too.
We watched it every family vacation
(the tv bungee corded to the arm rests in between my parent's seats)
And when we would drive through New Mexico, Arizona, or Southern Utah
and passed rock cliffs, my dad would use his best crazy man voice and say,
"The cliffs of insanity!!!"

Well, what does this have to do with anything? At the end of the movie,
Prince Humperdink (yes, that's his name) finds Wesley with his "queen" (the nerve- true love)
and says, "TO THE DEATH"... Wesley smartly replies,
"No, to the pain" and then explains all the ways Prince Humperdink will suffer after
Wesley steals Princess Buttercup away.

So, with this week being a thesis writing over-load type of week... I felt it appropriate
to title this post- "To the stress".
Yes, there is some stress, and it will likely stay until the Thesis is complete...
but, If I can make it through this week and stay away from too much blog-stalking and facebook looking... I'll survive the stress.

Wish me luck!

She's here!

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!

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.
