EARLY MORNING PHONE CALL

This morning at 3:30 Nick called us and told us that Lynsey was having the babies today.

These last 2 months has been "iffy" with these little babies.
Threatened miscarriage, Lynsey with hypertension, babies not growing....

So many things.

Lynsey was put in the hospital a week ago for closer monitoring.
Trying to stop the labor, making sure the babies weren't too stressed.

After a week of trying, labor couldn't be stopped and the stress on mom and babies was too great.

The best option was an emergency C Section.

We immediately packed and headed for Denver.
We received updates all the way and 10 hours later we drove immediately to the hospital.

Meet Lucy.

1 pound 15 ounces.

She's holding my wedding ring.

Trying to put into perspective just how tiny she is.

And this is Lilly.

2 pounds 4 ounces.

They were born at 28 weeks.

So far they are doing ok.

They will be in the NICU for weeks and weeks.

FUN IN THE SUN!

It’s been fun to have grands come since we moved here about 18 months ago.
We have a big yard, bigger house and more things to do.
We had Krew and Kendrix for a couple of days.

We have neighbors that have all sorts of great things for little boys!
Fancy Camero that Krew got to sit in.

Big Army truck to crawl in and around and over!

And airplanes! And they got to go for rides!!!

I think they had a good time!

That night we went to Outback to see our favorite Assistant Manager!

Aunt Candice.....also known as Aunt CandyBar!

Baby Bump

I hate being far away from Lynsey.
I miss seeing her every day.

I texted her and told her to send me a picture of the baby bump.

Twin Girls!
Supposed to make their debut on July 17th!

#ZELLA'S TRIBE

Today is National Cerebral Palsy Awareness Day

It is a day we have become more familiar with.

Little Leighton Zella received that diagnosis over a year ago.

She is a little fighter and is so in our hearts.

We are proud to be part of Zella's tribe.

She is a miracle and is so loved.

 

WHEN THE FIRE DEPARTMENT IS YOUR FRIENDS

They are firefighters and paramedics.

In the ER we work with them closely and I feel like they are the best.

My favorite thing about them.....

 They have a Pipe Brigade

Bagpipes are my absolute favorite thing to listen to.
It gives me the shivers.

And these guys are good.

I begged them to come to the ER on the 17th because they were out and about the town playing.
And they gave us a personal concert in the ambulance bay!

This one

This one......

is a twin of her father.

This photo is them at about the same age.

She goes 90 MPH all the time.

With a grin on her face.

And because she's such a stinker and so dang cute...

Yes, she is just like her dad....

and...

It's a good thing this is her dad.

 

 

 

SPRING SNOW

 I know snow that comes in March doesn't last.

 But that doesn't mean I like it.

BUT...It was supposed to be WARM!

This past weekend we drove to St George and Las Vegas to spend the weekend
with Matt's family and watch two of the grandsons play Lacrosse.

I don't know much about the sport but was really looking forward to spending that time
with them and of course....WARM WEATHER.

Well, that didn't happen.

 But I learned a bit about LaCrosse

 We enjoyed hanging out with these handsome grandsons.

 They are hilarious to be around.

But it was still fun.
And memorable.

Jaren's won 3 games and lost 1.
Justin's team won all 4 games.

We really had such a great time.
