E.R. updates

Quick note I have had so many people asking what is going on that I wanted to take a minute to let anyone who cared know, as opposed to trying to keep up with phone calls/texts. First of all, I would like to say thank you to everyone who has helped us and who has been praying for us during this scary time of uncertainty and worry. Our little Avelynn went to the E.R. last Thursday for vomitting (stomach secretions), and a few other things. They ran a bunch of tests and x-rays and ruled out what they had suspected (some kind of obstruction or twist in the intestines or bowel). And we were sent home with no answers really, but we know it was nothing major that required surgery. Then Wednesday we had a very scary episode with her where she stopped breathing totally, was blue and unresponsive. I got her breathing and went again to the E.R. We were admitted. More tests like echo-cardiogram, chest and stomach x-rays, GI, EKG, just to name a few. All tests were negative, she is otherwise a healthy, well baby. She still has most symtoms minus the vomitting, which I don't need to go into, but is home and we are doing fine. We will continue to go to the doctor weekly. No official diagnoses, just reflux or GERD at this point, which doesn't explain everything, but it is a start. She is a trooper, after all of the pokes, prods and tests, she is still smiling!

Top O' the mornin' to ya!

HAPPY ST. PATTY'S DAY and ERIN GO BRAUGH! Growing up St. Patty's was almost as big as Christmas in our house, so make sure you are wearin' o' the green today! This is one of my very favorite Irish blessing's enjoy.....

May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
May the rains fall soft upon your fields,
And, until we meet again,
May God hold you in the hollow of His hand.

Happy Birthday!

Our sweet little Avelynn Ann Hulet joined us Monday, March 8, 2010 @ 8:08 p.m weighing in at 7lbs. 13oz. and 19.5 inches long. She is beautiful and such a little angel. She has lots of black hair and sweet dimples on both cheeks! The kids absolutely adore her, and we can't get enough of her either! She took her precious time making her grand entrance, but of course well worth the wait.

3 is better than 2

As for an update I am now dilated to a 3 cm, baby girl is making her entrance a much anticipated event, as Jozalyn was 12 days early and this girl is now a week from her due date! This time is taxing for me, we have so many things going on right now it is hard to move from one thing without the other being complete! I am officially scheduled to be induced first thing Monday morning, though we obviously hope for a natural progression before then. We will see. My Mom is here now, so I feel so much better about the world around me, knowing that I could go anytime and my kids are well taken care of, not to mention some much needed help in the meantime. So being dialated to a 3 is much better than a 2, having 3 children will be much better than having 2 (more love and cuddles to go around), and there you have it.
