Our Friday the 13th Valentines Day



We celebrated V-day yesterday to avoid the crowds. Originally we were going to go to breakfast this morning, but Aaron got a coupon for buy and entree get and entree free at TGI Friday's so we went yesterday for lunch instead. That place would have been pricey without the coupon! I had chicken and shrimp and Aaron had fajitas. We came back home for a little while and then walked down to Chick FilA to get the free snack they were giving away. Turned out to be brownies. Yum! Then we went and got Aaron a haircut. He has been needing one for weeks. Then in the evening we went to Pride and Prejudice at the Greater Lewisville Community Theatre. We both really enjoyed it. It was opening night so there were a few rough spots but all in all they did a good job. The people who played Mr. and Mrs. Bennett were especially entertaining. They did a really good job. Going to plays is not something we often do, so it is kind of funny that that was the first of two plays we'll attend this month. At the end of the month we are going to see my cousin (in-law) in AIDA. It is a musical based on the music of Elton John (I think). Anyway, it was a very fun and relaxing day.
A couple of days ago I notice a daffodil blooming in our flower bed. I forgot I planted those last year. It was a nice surprise to say that spring is coming.
No more word really on the hospital situation. Dr. Cruetzmann called me on Wed. to say that he had talked to Dr. Alberts and he was okay with Plano Presbyterian but that they were still waiting to hear back from the neo-natologist there. So we are still in limbo. I am trying not to worry too much about decisions we'll have to make until we find out if the neo-natologist is okay with us going there. If she is not then I won't have a choice to make.
Happy Valentines Day to everyone!

I noticed our Daffodils are starting to come up. So you are a couple weeks ahead of us.

Hey! I have that same TGI Fridays gift certificate! Just need to find someone to go with me! :-) Sorry that I didn't get to meet up with you guys about the books, hopefully this weekend for sure. I'm calling the DLF today to see about volunteer applications or whatever. I'll let you know! Have a great week!

I am jealous! Daffodils already! We are still in the freezer. I think you are definitely starting to look pregnant. I noticed the sleeveless top. Must be warm there. Can't wait to get there to soak up some of that beautiful sunshine and HEAT!

Getaway to Ticks Bend....I Mean Beavers Bend State Park

 Back in April, we decided we needed to do a short family getaway after the semester was over. The last time we'd been on vacation just to vacation (not going to see family in CO) was when we went to San Antonio when Maddy was 3 months old. We found Beavers Bend State Park close to Broken Bow, OK and decided to go there. We booked a cabin in the state park and eagerly awaited the day we could take off for our getaway. We left on Sunday afternoon and stayed through Tuesday afternoon. It was short, but so fun and relaxing. We had no computer and no cell phones while we were up there. We just got to enjoy being around each other and the beautiful scenery.  We built a fire and roasted some marshmallows. Also popped some jiffy pop. Aaron had never done one of those before.  This is a 100 year old cabin they had at the visitor center. I like the mud chinking ( I think that's what it's called). A couple named Comma and Mabel lived in the cabin when the CCC was building t...

Geneticist

We went to see the genetic counselor this morning at 10. What we found out was hopeful for now, although we'll have to continue watching to see how thing develop. She said from what the doctors had communicated to her and from the initial results of the fish test (test for the chromosomal defects) and because I have been feeling the baby move every day, right now she thinks the baby may have a condition called Amyoplasia Congenita. This is a condition where the baby develops normally except for the hands and feet which can be corrected through orthopedic treatment, at least to some extent. People with this condition can live normal lives. This is obviously the best news we've had all week and much better than where we were a week ago. However, this isn't a diagnosis. We still need to watch the baby's development and also get the complete results from the chromosomal testing. BUT we are so thankful that today we have good news and something to hope for. For those (like m...

We Need Your Prayers

Many of you have probably heard all ready, but Aaron and I got some devastating news today. Our baby will probably not survive outside the womb. They did an amneostasis this afternoon to test for chromasomal defects, which is what they think it is right now. I know I am spelling everything wrong so I hope what I write makes enough sense for everyone to understand what is going on. The specialist we went to see feels that it is triploidy or triamias 18. Those may not be the right names but they are two of the three chromasomal defects. The other is down's syndrome. He did not feel that it was down's. The other two defects are fatal so if we carry the baby to term it will not live but for a few days or hours if one of the defects above is the problem. We will know in 2days. If it is not one of those then we will have to go to a cardiologist and a genetic counselor. The baby had clubbed hands and feel and it's heart is not formed correctly and is not in the right place. Becau...
