Eat, Eat, Eat

William was given the go ahead yesterday for ad lib demand feedings- which means he can eat as much as he wants whenever he wants as long as he eats every 4 hours and the minimum amount he has been calculated to need. Yesterday he did AWESOME! This is just another huge milestone towards his path home. As long as he keeps eating great, maintains his temp outside of the isolette (he's getting close) and doesn't have any more episodes of SVT (hasn't had any since the 1-2 second one when I was holding him on Sunday)-- then he'll be able to go home... soon (I have no idea what soon means any more). I don't know if that means this weekend or next week sometime, but sooner than later he'll be home. :D That makes this mama very happy!

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.
