chubbin' up

William is starting to take his bottles like a champ! He was always sucking and pacing himself really well, but he's starting to take MOST of his feedings now when we give them to him orally without tuckering out and getting tired. ALSO- he's a nursing fool. He prefers it and eats really well that way, which is good for me, (refer to my BFF post). He is officially in the 4s- yes, that's the 4 lbs. As of last night he was 4 lbs. 5 oz. Just 9 more oz. to go until he can ride in a regular car seat ;D.

He's getting bigger!!!

I just love this picture

And so she's not left out- Adalyn is adorable as always. 


He's moving up to 4/8 oral feeds a day! Which means if he keeps going well, he's going to be busting out of this place. hehe- when he's ready of course. :D

We loved conference and have LOVED having my mom here. Time to send her back to Utah to get my lil' bro. off on his mission! LOVE YOU Mom!

In other news- Adalyn is going to be having surgery THIS Friday to get her Left cochlear Implant. We appreciate any prayers on her behalf. Love that girl so so much!--- UPDATE: actually- as per Murphy's law- Adalyn has an ear infection. No CI surgery Friday, instead, just tubes again. Much less stressful for mommy. Surgery will be postponed until June.

He is almost at Judah's birth weight (4lb 6oz). He was 5lb on the dot when he came home. We're keeping you all in our prayers!

I'll be sending prayers your way. And maybe even a fast to help give that adorable little girl of yours a few extra blessings.

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.
