I love to make her SMILE!

There is no hiding the fact that Austin is excited about having a sister. He lives to please her and really enjoys the fact that she is starting to smile.

Back to School Carnival

Austin had so much fun at the back to school carnival. He played PLINKO and won a free hamburger and a free milkshake from Arctic Circle. Austin's favorite activities involved the inflatables. He spent hours playing on those. These pictures show some of the activities at the carnival.

7 months of a fast paced lifestyle

So many things have changed in the past 7 months. In my last trimester of pregnancy I was diagnosed with tachycardia a condition that includes increased heart rate and shortness of breath. It was awful and kept me from doing so many of the things I love. Due to the tachycardia, my specialist decided that he did not want me to go into labor, so I was induced at 38 weeks. After two days of laboring, Haidyn was born on a Wednesday night. That night she was taken to Primary Children's Hospital and two days later she had her reconstructive surgery. We spent the next two weeks sitting at her bedside in the NICU. What a roller coaster of emotions that was. Haidyn is now almost two months old. She has grown 2 inches and has put on a little more than 4 pounds. 38 weeks pregnant newborn
