Dear loved ones,
On Tuesday morning, I heard the sweetest sound in the whole world.. our babies heartbeat! I can't even type this without getting all teary eyed. It makes it so real, I have a living sweet innocent baby in my belly!!! How amazing!!!
The doctor said that the heartbeat is good, and that we are hopefully out of the clear in terms of miscarriage.. that now it is less than 1%, so that makes me happy!!
I am really starting to feel alot better in terms of the morning sickness. The only thing is that I am still very tired. I think mostly it is due to the fact I have to get up and visit the restroom a couple times a night, which I am not used to doing. I am trying to drink lots and lots of water, so this could be the contributing factor :)
Kelsey is visiting us this week and her and Krista are just living up the high life.. sleeping in, going to the pool, you name it. It is good to see them having fun!!
Jett and I are both really excited for this baby!!! I know we still have time before he/she comes along, but we are both so excited!!!
Hope all is well for you guys!
Love

Grandma and Staci
Hey Hey Hey!
We had a bit of a scare recently. Mom Walker called to tell us that they were taking WahWah to the hospital, she was in a lot of pain. They called us later to inform us that she was going into surgury, she had kinked intestines!! OUCH. The doctor said anyone else would have been in a month ago, go figure that Tough Grandma waited as long as she could. They took her in and cut her open, fixed the kink and then decided to leave her "open" (did not sew her up) and also she remained in a coma for three days. I think it was because they did not want to have to put her back under if something went wrong, plus the pain was pretty intense. On Monday, they brought her out of the coma and she has been doing better. A little loopy, which is to be expected, but she seems to be getting stronger each day. That is one tough lady.
Speaking of TOUGH, Staci (our little cousin who has spinabifedia) had to go to surgury on Tuesday due to her scoliosis. She had a metal rod insterted into her back. Praise the Lord that she is doing better, although the pain MUST be very intense, she is strong as she is cute, which means, stronger than any one person I know!! We will keep you updated.
Jett went home this past weekend to go to his 10 year reunion, and was able to visit both Staci and Grandma in the hospital. It is tough on us to be so far away from the family, when something like this comes up.. It was good for Jett to have the opportunity to check up on them.
Lucky for us, he brought Kelsey back to spend a week and a half with us! IT should be very entertaining to have her with us, we miss that kiddo :)
Hope this finds each of you well and happy!

Reunion/ Trip Home
Hey all!
I just got back from a whirlwind trip home! It was great to see everyone, but I totally over did it. I left on Tuesday to fly to Lubbock. Lucky me got on standby on both flights in, so instead of landing at 10:00 PM I was home by 8:15!! I did not get sick on the plane, I was worried I would.
Wednesday, Krista and I got up and went to Sam's to shop for my reunion. Then we met Darla and went birthday shopping! I got a bunch of new maternity clothes.. WOO HOO! Krista and I left Lubbock and headed for Ft. Sumner, with a stop in Clovis to pick up the shirts.
My reunion went really well, considering. Lucky for me, my new cousin Amanda Kenyon (Rusty's wife) saved my butt by helping take over most of the doing.. I did the planning and she did the doing. Our float turned out to be fun, we threw a mixture of candy and WATER BALLOONS! Since it was so hot, I think the crown actually enjoyed it :)
Dar and David came into town, along with Aric, so they got to see the parade and then we went to the tug of war where Krista and Leighton ended up in the mud a couple of times :) After that, we headed home.
I just really want to say how great the trip was, for family bonding. I think that it is crazy to think of where we were 6 months ago to now. It feels like the obstacles are just a distant memory and the family that has formed is our future. I am sure there are roadblocks still to come, but what family does not have that?? I am just glad that the stress is gone and we are all able to just be...
I got to spend a good amount of time with Nana. Man, I sure do miss her! She is such a hoot. However, when I got back I got the bad news that Tippy, her beloved ugly dog (he was UGLY) passed away. Nana was very upset, as you can imagine.
Anyways, that is my reunion wrap up. I am so glad it is over.
Pregnancy wise, I am feeling better... still tired. The sickness is getting to be less and less, which is very nice!!
Hope life is good for you!
