Six Months!

By -
Well it's official! Adalyn is 6 MONTHS OLD! I can't believe it! We feel so blessed and lucky to have her and have her doing as well as she is:

She is 12.6 lbs - 2%
24.8 inches- 17%
and her head is still not on the charts. It is growing, but really slowly, and the doctor thinks that the front part of her skull may be keeping her head/brain from growing the way it needs to- so we are going to be going to a neurologist in St. Louis to see what he thinks we should do. I won't lie, it was hard for me to hear, but I'm so grateful that they have doctors that can help with this sort of thing. 

Adalyn is babbling up a STORM! 
She has her two bottom/front teeth breaking through the gums
She LOVES bannans and peas and oatmeal
She LOVES her binkie and toys that light up
She does not love tummy time, but is tolerating it better and better.
She loves to be held! 
She loves to suck on her left hand and if we don't get food to her mouth fast enough- there goes the hand! 

And that, my friends, is Adalyn!

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.
