Another Update!

Hey all Kyla had a rough start to the day yesterday, but she finished it up really well! She ate and walked yesterday and I think we may get to go home today! It will be nice to get her home where mommy can take really good care of her. I will say this has been a tough week. I never realized how tough of a little girl we really have, but she was determined to get up and walk yesterday and she did!

News on the baby front. I can really feel Madison moving now and the past couple of days she has given me a good kick just when I need it. She has kinda been mommy's little cheerleader! I go back to the doctor on the 13th for a check up maybe I will finally get to hear the heart beat. We also have a follow up ultrasound with the high risk fetal specialist on the 25th. He is going to check Madison's heart again as well as check her kidney function to make sure she doesn't have the same problem as Kyla. Well that is all for now I am going to try and get some sleep but for some reason I am having a little trouble. Have a great Wednesday and I will give you and update ASAP!

It's Finally Over

Well we have finally had our surgery. It went really well, but it has been kind of a hard night. Kyla was out of surgery and into her room between 4 and 4:30. Everyone left and let her so she could get to sleep. The nurse told me that Kyla had to go to the bathroom before midnight or she would get a cath. we all know we don't want one of those. Well needless to say we finally got her to go and she is sleeping away. She is in a little pain and we got her some meds to help her sleep. I just want to say she has been such a trooper, and I am so proud of her. She keeps asking to go home and I understand that she wants to be in her own bed, but I am just praying for a quick recovery. From my understanding we will be in the hospital about 2-3 days. I will say she is getting spoiled rotten. Well I just wanted to share what was going on in the hospital today. Everyone have a great night and I am going to try and get some sleep now.

Its Been A While

I haven't posted in forever! So everyone get comfortable I have lots to say. Well Kylas surgery is monday and I am so nervous right now. We took a tour of the childrens hospital this week so Kyla could see where she will be staying. She will be in the hospital for 3 to 5 days. This is a scary and emotional time but I think it is 10x's harder because I am preggo. Well I just wanted to let everyone know, if you don't know already (drum roll please.........) we think we are having another girl. Madison Hope is her name and she is due in Oct.

Life has been so crazy busy. We are teaching on Wednesday nights and we are Class leaders with another couple on Sunday mornings. I am on the childrens ministry team, and I teach at our churches MDO which also has a summer program. (Lets just say when we pulled up to church on Wednesday Kyla said hey this is where we live). I at first thought it was funny, I guess I still do, but I was really thankful that she didn't say that about Walmart).

Kyle's niece Kenna is having a baby any day now or scheduled for induction on Monday. We have decided that we are a family that plans well. Since everyone is going to be in Lubbock for the surgery, Kenna might as well have her baby that day, so everyone can save gas. Another one of Kyle's nieces Menda is getting married at the end of June, and ofcourse my girls are flower girls. Kyla is now a pro at being a flower girl, this will be her fourth wedding.

Well that is a quick recap of the James families busy life over the past month. Enjoy your weekend.
