Jan 10th News

While it is no longer Jan. 10, I thought I would update everyone on what happened. 

On Friday, Jan. 9, I started to go into labor. Dan took me to the hospital at 8pm. I was admitted quickly and we were faced with lots of decisions to make. At 2:47 am, we had a beautiful, little, boy. He was 13 oz and 10.5 inches long. He had the cutest, and largest hands and feet. We were able to hold him and take pictures of him while he stayed with us for almost two hours. He didn't like his feet tickled and would kick back at me. I was able to see his cute little tongue and he liked to grab onto our fingers.  We decided not to name him and just enjoy our time. There will be a shared service with the other babies like him sometime in the future. 

Thank you to everyone for their messages, prayers and support.

The Latest

I tried to call most people but it is really hard to talk. The doctor appointment was not so positive today. The baby's heart beat is still good, 168 bpm, but there was still no fluid. The doctor said we are waiting to miscarry. The hard part is that it can happen anytime from now up to 6 weeks or so. They won't induce if there is still a heart beat this early, and it looks like I will have to actually deliver when the time comes. Thanks for the prayers.

Caribbean Cove Water Park!

On January 1, Uncle Dan and Aunt Amy went to Indianapolis to see Ethan and Olivia. After a few hours at the Lund's house, we took the kids to the hotel! Olivia was very excited when she saw the water slides sticking out of the hotel! I don't think she really understood what she was seeing, but the colorful tubes were impressing her.

We quickly checked into the the hotel and went straight to the pool. Ethan and Olivia loved the kiddie area with a jungle gym structure set into a shallow pool. Ethan liked to control the water by turning the values on the gym set. Olivia quickly found the lazy river and traveled many laps around and around.

Ethan and Olivia ventured onto the slides once or twice each. They went down the "yellow, tube slide" with Uncle Dan. Poor Olivia was the first one down the slide with Uncle Dan. Unfortunately for her, halfway down the slide, we rolled off of our inner tube and had to scoot down the rest of the way. Poor Ethan had a faster trip down the slide, but we bounced off our inner tube and plunged into the pool at the end. Needless to say, they liked it enough to go down it again the NEXT day!

Enjoy the videos! I've posted it on Vimeo and Youtube just to compare the quality of the videos. The Vimeo video should be in full high def quality.

New News

I am not sure everyone has heard but I have been put on bed rest until further notice. Unfortunately, my water broke and there is very little fluid left around the baby. This is really bad because the baby cannot develop without the fluid and there is a higher risk of infection for the baby and myself. In very rare cases, the tear in the membrane can self heal and it may refill with fluid. Dan and I are trying to stay optimistic but it is hard. Thanks for all the prayers and phone calls. I will try to keep you updated.
