Photo: Due date! Wish baby knew.
I've done a horrible job posting baby updates on here. Mostly cause there's not a lot to update. Baby is growing, I'm growing, and I've been expecting to go into labor anytime the last two weeks so it's made it seem like I'm two weeks overdue already even though I'm just one day over due. This is a pic of baby on her due date. She did not get the memo. I had an appointment today and after talking to doctor, we are going to go one more week and if she doesn't show up, I'm scheduled for an induction on Feb 5th. So will Kelsay be born the day before Grandad's birthday or will she decide to come on Super Bowl Sunday and mess up her dad's plan to watch his beloved Seahawks play? Stay tuned.
In other news, everyone else is doing great. We are loving Aaron's sabbatical schedule so far. Working three days a week from home is awesome! We set up an office for him in the guest bedroom closet. It's pretty tight but it works.
Maddy is doing great at therapy, school, and gymnastics. She is learning to add and to sound out words. This week her class studied the country of Turkey and made a really neat display about the country.
Tonight at dinner, Aaron asked Maddy what numbers she new how to add. She said, "I don't know how to add everything , I just know some." Aaron said, "Well what do you know?" Maddy replied, "100+100." Aaron: "And what does that add up to?" Maddy: "A whole bunch." Gotta love it. This girl is never at a loss for an answer.

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...
