Nothin' Much-Just a few more pics to enjoy

Well, not much has happened since last time I wrote. We did go on a super long walk on Friday that included taking Maddy to the park to swing for the first time. She seemed to enjoy it. It was very windy that day. She fell asleep on the way back home.

We had to stuff a blanket behind her because the swing was just a little to large for her to sit in without something to pack her in a little bit.

This was a different day. We stopped by Sonic after our run (kind of counteracted the benefits of our workout) and got a D.P. for me and an ice cream for Aaron. I think Maddy liked the ice cream but it was hard to tell. She kept wanting more but she never really smiled or got really excited while she was tasting it. I guess she just wasn't quite sure what to think about the stuff.

Oh yeah. So I don't know that I've really mentioned this yet, but on February 27th we will run the Cowtown 1/2 Marathon in Ft. Worth. My mom is coming down to run it with us and the goal is to qualify for the Pike's Peak ascent which takes place August 20th. To qualify you have to run a half marathon in 2hours and 30 minutes or less or you can run a marathon in a certain amount of time. Aaron is already qualified from the marathon he did in December but I missed it by about 5 minutes and Mom also needs an official race time to qualify so this is the plan. I'm a little nervous...not about qualifying for the ascent, but more about making it up Pike's Peak alive in August if I do get to do that race.

I bet she was really enjoying that ice cream. Gotta be careful though, letting her eat it too fast. The last time we had ice cream D. ate it to fast and started crying. It was funny because he didn't want to slow down.

I love the park pics! Maddy is so funny working on that ice cream.

Does your blog send out an email like Crissy's?

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...

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...

Another Sonogram

We went to the high risk pregnancy doc today for another sonogram. This time he could see all four chambers of the heart, the pulmonary valve, etc. In his words it looked "dramatically better". He feels there is still some slight compression on the heart and that we need to continue watching it. As of now he cannot see anything that is causing it and the MRI did not see anything either. He also felt that the hands were okay. They are not clenched fists at least as he first thought, meaning that the fingers aren't overlapping each other. Her hands are still in fists and she won't open them but he said he has had other babies that have not opened their fist in the sonogram but the hands have been normal at birth, so we still have a lot of hope for those little hands. He was able to get a better look at the face today, no cleft palate, so that is a huge blessing. The feet are still concerning. They are definitely clubbed but she is also not moving them. She is moving her...
