Baby Emily

Hello all! I have been absent for a little while, I have no good reason for it other then I just wanted a break=) Tomorrow I will post all the excitement from last weekend that includs some broken bones stay tuned!

I have a cute little baby girl to show off so I thought it was a perfect oprotunity to blog. I took some pictures of this little miracle last Saturday.

I always get a little nevrous taking infant pictures cuz it can go two ways real good or real bad. It went really good! She was perfect. We got some asleep and some awake! I just love this little bundle as if she was my own.

Heidi her momma has gone threw alot to have her. She is truly Heidis angel. Heidi lost a baby two years ago due to some complications with the babys heart. Joshua was born at 23 weeks premature. He got to meet his mommy and daddy and then quietly left to be with our Heavenly father. Heidi felt such a tremdous loss, she strugled with her pain for a long time and made the decision to have another woman carry her child if she ever decided to try agtain. Well God had another plan for her. Just when Heidi had come to terms with her loss and that she might never bear a child of her own she found out she was pregnant! I am sure for her it was a million emotions good and bad all at once. She had a lot of complications with her first pregnancy aside from loosing Joshua so she was nevrous that she would suffer the same medical problems again. For the most part things went good, she had a couple hospital visits and a little case of water retention but other then that it went pretty good. I was lucky enough to give you all a step by step update on this blog of her Labor. I got to be there and be a support friend, and it was amazing. So here she is happy and healthy and three weeks old. God is good a

nd we are truly blessed to have a savior who gives us these little angels.

Emergency Room Monday!

I first off want to say that Madison is doing good. =)

Last night Madison got out of bed a few times saying she was not feeling good. Nathan and I were still up so we let her stay up and hang out. I noticed there were little bumps on her arm and leg that looked like bug bites. She was itching them and complaining. I put some benadryl cream on them and they went away in about 30 minutes. Once they were gone a couple more popped up! I was baffled cuz she was sitting next to me and I didn't see no bugs! So more cream it was.

This went on for about 2 hours. When all looked better we put her to bed and went to bed as well.(it was midnight!)

Madison woke up at about 7 am with about five bumps on her. I put cream on them and they went away.. again.

I decided to wash all her bedding and stuffed animals and pillow, I wiped down her bed with some hot water and soap. I thought all was good and what ever was getting her was gone. She laid down for her nap and slept for about an hour, when she woke she was screaming and crying. I met her half way down the stairs... (What happened next was kind of a blur.)

She was covered in these bumps her arms lags stomach face back I mean you name it it was red hot and the bumps were no longer little they were huge clusters! I got really scared! I called my mom and emailed Nathan. I told them to get here now! I got the girls dressed and in the mean time was balling my eyes out till everyone got here. It was really a horrifying moment for me!

Nathan got home and my mom got here and took Trinity. We got to the hospital and they took us right back.

Apparently it was hives, the cause is still unknown. She was breathing good and her heart was strong so they were not to worried. They gave her some liquid benadryl and told us to keep an eye out for sores in her mouth, and eyes, and pay close attention to her breathing.

She was full of energy and happy as could be so they were confident she was going to be just fine. I on the other hand am a little more sceptical. I guess that is just the protective mom in me! We came home and ate and she has been doing good. Her medicine started to wear off and sure enough they came right back! I am hoping that this is not going to be long lived. I am really worried about her and the breathing thing is going to keep me up all night. I am going to sleep on the couch with her tonight to keep an eye on her.

Please keep her in your prayers. I am praying this is short lived and that she will not have to deal with this much more. She s really uncomfortable when the medicine wears off=/

I know the Lord is watching over her and loves her very much.

I am sure this sounds like a small thing compared to what could have happened, but it was a really scary day for me for sure!!

Here is a picture of her arm and leg from this morning so if any of you have to deal with this you know what to look for and have an idea of what it might be =)

Things slowed down after the epidural! That really is to be expected, but we were hoping for her sake that things would move along a little faster. She is still in high spirits! We are having a nice time chatting, and telling our birth stories=) I will let you all know if anything changes!!

*Update* 5pm
Heidi is doing good. She just got an epidural and all is going good. She is just trying to relax now and let her body do the work. Lets hope baby Emily comes soon!!

My good friend Heidi is in labor! She called at about 1 this afternoon asking me to pick her up from the bank cuz her water broke! So I rushed to get her and we got to the Hospital and checked her in. I am in the room right now and she is doing good. They are giving her an IV as I type. They checked her and she is at a 4! So please have her in your Prayers! I will keep updating threw out the process!!
