Kaylee's Hospital Picture!

I've had some people question whether or not we have came home b/c I have not updated my blog since Sunday. Well YES!! We finally got to come home at noon yesterday, and we couldn't be happier to be home. Things have been going great here at home, my mom came to stay with us for a few days and she has been a huge help. Abner has been the most wonderful husband a gal could ever ask for, helping in any way he can. There are definitely some adjusting to be done, but we are heading towards it full forced and excited to be doing it. My sister in law came over and Kaylee's first photo shoot, the pictures turned out great, I'm so excited. I will post them up as soon as she sends them to me. They are to die for!!!! So Thank God we are all doing wonderful and we couldn't be any happier. We have our first appointment back in the hospital tomorrow, so I'll let you all know how that goes. Thanks again for your continued prayers, phone calls and visits. Also thanks for visiting my blog; according my google analytics, we had 69 visitors on Kaylee's birthday!!! :) Here is the website for Kaylee's hospital picture, take a look!

First family photo

Just about 48 hours later, and we're still doing fabulous! Kaylee is out of NICU and came to share a room with Daddy and I yesterday around 1pm, we were very excited to have her with us, finally! She is maintaining her temperature very well and feeding very good also. My mom has been a huge help with us from helping me shower, to getting the essentials we didn't have time to go out and get. Friends and family have been texting, calling, commenting and visiting like crazy, which is very much appreciated; it's good to know people are still willing to help and really care about the well being of our family.
Abner has been the most amazing father, husband, friend, helper a woman could ever ask for!! He was the first and actually is the primary poopy pamper changer, for now anyways. It's still a bit difficult for me to be bent over changing her. He has not had any complains and does everything while singing, talking and playing with his baby girl. He has been absolutely perfect. He feeds and is at her every call, as well as mine. Thanks babe for being so wonderful, I LOVE YOU and DEFINATELY could not have done it without you. I'm so lucky to have you.
God willing, we will probably be going home today, if not today, definately tomorrow. It's nice being pampered hand and foot by hospital staff, but we are anxious to go home already! Anyways, just wanted to share a quick update and post our first family picture just minutes after she was born, that one of the Dr's in the OR so kindly volunteered to take :) P.S. see how awesome my God is...I'm sitting there, cut open, and I'm still smiling!!!!! Have I mentioned how much I LOVE MY GOD!!!

Hello World!!

I sit here in my hospital bed with the most gratitude I have ever felt towards my God and savior; it is to him, and him alone who goes all the victory of today's amazing events. Kaylee Elise Garza was born at 3:34 pm, weighing in at 4.6 lbs and 17 inches long. She is currently in the NICU but nothing to worry about, she's eating and doing amazingly well. As for me, I am also feeling very comfortable and pain free!! :) God is soooo amazing! Here is a picture of our beautiful baby girl. Her daddy and I are extremely proud and happy to be her parents and can't wait to go home and start our life together.

The waiting game!

So ok...I'm sitting here in my hospital bed all hooked up, and still I wanted to be sure to keep my faithful viewers up to date on the happenings of the delivery of Baby kaylee. We were sent here from the clinic yesterday due to low amniotic fluid levels. The Dr is concerned that the umbilical cord might be crushed due to low fluids, so they set me up on monitors yesterday at around 5:30pm. I had no pains or contractions, to my knowledge. I am exactly 36 weeks pregnant today, so baby is still a little early, but we have hope, faith and trust in God that she will be just fine :) At around 9:30 this morning they started adding pitocin to my IV to speedy up the contractions, now that there is room for Kaylee in NICU. It is now 11:15am and I am having frequent contractions, thank God no painful ones just yet! So here we sit and wait...I am a little frightened..ok, A LOT frightened, but I know that God is on our side and I pray that he gives me the strength I need to continue through this as well as to take my nervousness away!! and that he gives Kaylee all the strength she will need to fight this long battle! Also strength for Abner :) So thank you all for your prayers, calls, and texts, we will try t0 keep you as updated as possible! Please continue to pray for us :)

Ok results...

Well...I went to the Dr. today, and the news wasn't as great as I had hoped. It wasn't horrible either, just not great. My fluids are low again, and this time they wanted to do something about it instead of just sending me home and not re-checking them. So the Dr. gave me two options: I could go straight to the hospital, get hooked up to an IV and have fluids pumped for 24 hours or I can get hooked up to a monitor for about 2o-25 minutes, checking the baby's heart beat and motions and then go home and get bed rest, drink lots of fluids, and go back again tomorrow for another ultrasound and check up. So of course, I chose the second option! Well, here I am at home, drinking lots of water and sitting with my feet up! It's nice, but I feel a little bad b/c I had a 3 hour meeting that I set up and and couldn't show up for at work, oh well, things happen! So anyways, lets pray that tomorrow's appointment goes better and that my fluids are back up; I'm not sure what the next step will be if they're not. We couldn't get a could picture of the baby today, so hopefully we can get one tomorrow!

On a lighter note...today marks 2 years since my hunny bunny got down on one knee and proposed, making me the happiest gal ever! I love you baby, thanks for all you do, you're the greatest!!
