Kylee's 1st day of preschool!!!

Today was Kylee's first day of school... and she was so excited!! I was not able to drop her off at school because I had a doctor's appt., but my wonderful neighbor Tina took her and said that she went right in and was excited to be there!! I picked her up and she was a little exhausted and disappointed that she had to walk home, but she said that she had a lot of fun!! They learned about favorites today... her favorite color is Brown, her fav. food is Hot Dogs, and her fav. game is Hi-Ho Cherry-O.
Here is a picture of Kylee after school...

Now for those of you who don't know, as of last Tuesday we have had some problems come up with the pregnancy. My fluid level was really low and the baby was measuring to be 3 weeks behind where he should. Also, the umbilical cord has only two vessels instead of three... so that is limiting the amount of calories the baby is getting which could be why the fluid is low and he is so small. The Dr. said that one of the causes for this could be a chormesonal problem, which we wouldn't know until the baby is born. He is expecting to take the baby early, so I have had to get steroid shots to help the baby's lungs develop faster.
Since Tuesday I have seen the Dr. twice and my fluid levels have gone up quite a bit and the baby is growing, he is only two weeks behind instead of three. I still will be going in once a week probably until I have the baby so that they can keep an eye on him... we want to keep him in for as long as we can without causing too much stress on the baby, if he gets too stressed then they have to start me early and then we could have a lot more problems on top of what is already there.
So, for now I am on a semi-bedrest which means I just can't do too much... which is hard sometimes for me to do, but I know that it is for mine and the baby's own good. We are in good spirits though and just stay positive and know that our Heavenly Father is watching over us and that His will will be done. I will keep updating the more we find out.

I had Stacy before all the tests they have now. She was born 6 days early and weighed 5 lbs. 14 oz. She only had 2 vessels in her cord. She was fine. I guess it's a good thing I didn't know beforehand, so I didn't have to worry.

Hi Family; I am so excited to play Hi Ho Cherry Oh with Kylee in a few months. Tell her for me okay. Well by then she will have a new favorite but I will love that too. Yesterday in our one session alone at our New Zealand Temple there were 230 of the most faith filled islanders that prayed for you and Easton. The Lord will watch over you. We are grateful for you attitude. He will help you and be with you. Kia kaha,

I can't believe Kylee is in preschool! I love preschool - it is my break. I hope you are doing okay - you had me a little worried, but I know that you are in good hands and that things will be okay. You are such an amazing person and have the best attitude. I wish there was something I could do for you. I'll make sure I come see you and that cute baby at Christmas time. Keep me posted on what is going on. We love you.
