Big Boy Bed!

Our fabulous sitter, Jill, informed us that Jack was showing some interest in sleeping on the cots during nap time at daycare instead of in his usual pack n play, so she tried it out and let him sleep on one last week, and he did a great job! So earlier this week, we took the plunge and converted his crib into a big boy bed! It was actually good timing, as Jack attempted to climb out of his crib and ended up falling out last week. He was ok, but it scared Mommy to death!

We have one of those cribs that converts into a bed, and it comes complete with a roll bar. We are all still getting used to it, but I must say, the transition is going much smoother than I expected. I thought we would have to constantly be putting him back into bed since he is able to get out on his own now, but I think the fall must've scared him too much, because he doesn't get out AT ALL!! He does cry when we put him down, so one of us has to lay with him for a bit, but if thats all it takes, its worth it!

I wish I had a picture to show you, but my camera is officially dead. I've been needing a new one for a while, but can't afford it right now! Hopefully soon! I love to take pictures! Jill did send me this pic of Jack napping on a cot at her house. So sweet!




This picture was taken by our friends, Nick and Chelsie, when they were babysitting for us last week. They are avid KU fans, and thought it would be cute to put this hat on Jack to try and mess with Ryan! Even though Jack is a Hawkeye for life, he still looks pretty darn cute!


Only 4 more school days until spring break! We will be Iowa bound! I cannot wait!

9 1/2 Hours

9 1/2 hours until my sweet baby girl goes in for her third open heart surgery.  This isn't just any surgery.  It's a big one.  This surgery would be a big deal for a 40 year old.  So you can imagine the seriousness and high risk on a 3 week old.  I am nauseous and scared.  I pray with all my heart that her little body can handle the intensity and recovery involved with something this big.  The nurses have prepared us for the worst, which I am thankful for, but am remaining optimistic and strong in faith.  They have told me that she will be VERY sick for several days following her surgery.  She may even come back to her room in the PICU still on bypass.  Even if she doesn't come back on bypass, she could still go back on it a few days later.  In addition to all her machines and medicines now, she will also come back with a pacemaker, and possibly the ECMO (bypass) machine. Lia opened her eyes today, and looked around the ...

Praising God!!!

Lia has had a REALLY good 24 hours! She passed her carseat test! Has taken ALL her feedings orally! Feeding tube is OUT! Breathing treatments have been cancelled! Ryan and I have started a 24 hr PCS (parent care status) where we are completely in charge of all feedings and medications.  The nurse will only check on us periodically. This is done to make sure we will be able to handle everything at home. NO MONITORS!  I just walked into our bathroom with Lia...simply because I COULD! Pharmacy has come to talk to us about all her prescriptions, and how to administer all medications. Got a basket ready for all the 'skimming' supplies I'll need for home. Arrangements have been made for follow up care with cardiologist and pediatrician! Discharge, yes, I said it, DISCHARGE scheduled for Tuesday!  Ok, I'm crying now that I just typed that! Once again, thank you for all your continued support and prayer!  Don't we have an amazing God? These oral feedings r...
