Baby food

I have been making all of Jayce's baby food and I am truly enjoying it. I dabbled with it when Seriah was a baby but decided not to then. With Teleah there was so much going on so I didn't even attempt it. However this time I jumped in with both feet. I have been steaming and pureeing and freezing. My freezer is filled with so many frozen ice cubes of fruits and veggies. The really nice thing is my girls have actually been trying some of them to Some of these veggies they had refused to try before. Since they have helped me a few times they become curious as to what it taste like. Love it. Jayce loves all of it too.

6 months old

Where has the last six months gone. I seemed to be so slow at the begining but now everything is going good and he is doing so good. Jayce is now 13lbs and 24 inches long. he is so full of smiles for everyone. Starting to sit with help and loves his fruits.

Well tonight was Teleah's kindergarten spring sing. She was so excited after many years of trying to sit and watch Seriah during her school concerts it was finally Teleah's turn. she said she was excited because she got to sing and because Seriah just was gonna watch. It was her own thing and she was so proud. We were so proud of her too. I cant believe my baby girl is in school. I too am used to her sitting next to me at these thing but to see her doing it was very strange and great at the same time. So here are some pics from the night

6 months

There has been a lot of sickness in this house I cant wait for the warm weather so we can all get out. Seriah is so busy in the fourth grade She loves school. Seriah is also in girl scouts we are right now in process of delivering 180 girl scout cookies she sold. It has been full of fun activities.

Teleah is loving school and cant wait to see her teacher everyday. Teleah is starting to recognize word now and when I read to her she yells out the words on the page that she can read. It is so fun watching the pages come alive for her.


wow where has time gone? I cant believe Jayce is already 6 months old. He is just the best baby he is always smiling and laughing. He is such a joy. He loves watching the girls run around he seems like he is taking them in and I know hell be going after them in no time. The girls are head over heals for him too. As soon as they get home from school they run to him and he loves it.

As most of you know Teleah is a bit of a handful at times, but also full of personality. Here are some recent Teleah stories.
The other night Teleah was getting in trouble and was going to get a spanking and she ran up to the top bunk bed in her room where I could not reach her. I told her she needed to get down now. When she threw her hands in the air and with such conviction and concern told me "mommy I cant come down because if you spank me I'm gonna scream like a little girl and then I will wake up Jayce and you will be mad at me" Sometimes its really hard not to crack up at her logic. I did end up giving her just one more chance no spanking that night.

today she is not feeling well and is home from school. She does not like missing school at all. I called the doctor to let them know her symptoms and she informed me that I needed to let them know she was "eating rice chex and that is making me all better well a little bit all better." the nurse asked if there was anything else she wanted her to tell the doctor she said "yes Seriah is at school and thats not fair, and I am not"

Well it has been a long time since I have posted but life around here got a little tense. Jayce was put back in the hospital and had to have another surgery, they unblocked his gallbladder and the ducts around it. Then after surgery his stomach swelled up so huge it looked like it would pop. He had a infection so he had to go on a complete seven day with out any food. So we were in the hospital for two weeks. It was long and hard. But we are home now and he is doing good. This has been such a trying time that I could not have gotten through with out my God and Saviour. he gives us strength when we don't think there is anymore in us he sustains us when we want to give up. He gives us hope when there is none, then he sends us people in our lives that help us out when we need it. I cant thank everyone enough for all the prayers, dinners and helping with the girls that was given our way. But most of all the prayers, thank you so much for everything.
I thank God everyday for the people in our lives.

Jayce's 2 month photo shoot

Jayce is one month old.

I took Jayce today to get his one month pictures done and here they are so cute.

Jayce Came home today. He is curently in his bed sleeping in our room. This is the day we could not wait for and that we have been praying for. Thank you to all of you who have been lifting him up in prayer. We are so excited.

Me and Sally went to Peoria on thurday to see Jayce he was doing great. Sally took these pictures for me of Jayce. It was a great day. Thanks Sally.

And yes I got to feed him...

Well today I got to go to peoria with my friend Sally. We spent the day with Jayce in the NICU. Jayce looked great he is doing amazing. they started him on breast milk yesterday and he is handleing it very well. he is eating and pooping like he is suposed to. By morning he will be on 1oz of milk and then they will start him on enzymes. they are feeding him every three hours and uping how much they give him every three feedings. by early next week he will be on 2oz. then if he does well on that for 48 hours he can come home. SO BY THIS TIME NEXT WEEK IF ALL GOES WELL HE WILL BE HOME. I can barley contain my excitment. i got to hold him all day and cuddled him alot i was in heaven. He is now only one one IV. and his feeding tube was taken out tonight. The last IV will be stopped by tomarrow. So he will have no more tubes by tomarrow evening.

Well this has been a very long hard week. Jayce was air lifted to the Peoria hospital on wendesday and they did surgery on him that night. They had to get the blockage out befre it caused a rupture. The surgery went really well they were able to fix the problem with out cutting into his internal organs. That was really good since had they had to it would have had a whole other set of issues. So he is doing good he is still sleeping from the surgery and they are slowly waking him up. He looked so much better after the surgery. this is going to be a long road he will not be able to come home for at least two weeks. so please pray for him to recover and for our girls to this is very hard on them and there are alot of tears. Me and Sean came home for a few days last night to be with them. I am trying to take these days and get myself better to so that I am able to walk again and be able to be there for my new son and my daughters and husband. i am so blessed to have such a wonderful family and friends who have been there so much for all of us. This is going to be a long raod and I would love all the prayers that we can get. This is going to be a few weeks of alot of traveling and juggling, not to mention alot of emotions.

update

Well today has been a roller coster of emotions. I really want to just bring Jayce home. It is really hard not being able to take care of him or even hold him when I want to, however I know this soon will pass. We did find out that the blockage is 80% gone now and that is great news. Once the blockage is gone he will have to show a pattern of being able to eat and then poop. So at least another few days, sigh.

I am still very sore and my feet are larger then they were before I had him. I am very tierd but can not sleep. So please keep us in your prayers. This is very Hard. I know God is in control and that is what is keeping me moving.
