On Saturday I ran in the Chosen Half Marathon for Adoption in San Antonio. It was a cold morning so the kiddos and Porter had to stay in the hotel but Porter took this sweet picture of me before I headed off.</div>

The race was so much fun (or at least it seems so now that I am done)! I had a goal to beat my last time of 1:40 and I did it 1:38! I just found out I was 1 minute away from qualifying for the Boston Half! Darn! I also placed much higher than I had expected, all of which makes it all much more fun! I am a bit sore and have a swollen knee but overall I feel pretty good and was so happy with how I did. I am kind of sad I don't have a training schedule to follow anymore :( . ha. I loved having a goal in mind while exercising. Guess I will have to find something new to keep me motivated. I ended up with 7th overall women, and 2nd in my age! Some of the high placers were old ladies. There was a 65 year old women who took 2nd place! Crazy and inspiring at the same time!<br />

While we were in San Antonio we hit the zoo. It rained the whole time and none of the animals were out. It was a total bummer because it seemed like an awesome zoo on a normal day. Here is what we did most of the day... stayed under cover and froze!<br />

Then we went to a dinosaur museum because Mallory is really in to dinosaurs and bones in general. She loved it even though Porter and I thought it was a bit lame for the price. I guess it was worth it if she liked it. We were the only ones there, go to show how awesome it was :)<br />

I find it hard to find the time to update the blog too often, so when I do it seems overwhelming and I don't know what to post. Life is just always busy. Oh well, I am trying right? We have been busy getting back into Texas life. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Porter is 4 days away from finishing his first affiliation here that the local hospital. He is there full time and has assignments in the evening so he has been super busy… He has also been participating in bike races at the college on Wednesday nights and is not doing too bad considering it is his first time and he is the only one in a t-shirt and gym shorts. I went and picked him up some sweet biking shorts so he should blend right in how! Porter just finished playing flag football too and did awesome as QB.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been training for a half marathon. I have been trying to squeeze my workouts in early before Porter leaves or late at night. It has been tough to fit it in to our schedule but I love the excitement of training for another race. I did the breast cancer 10K last Saturday and was so surprised to have my best time yet by far. 42:00! I got 2nd in the women and feeling great about my goal for my half marathon (in 10 days), to beat my last time 1/2 marathon time, until my knee started swelling and my right shin started shin splints. I now feel like I am hobbling around while I try to stick to my training but I am pretty determined so I hope I can make it through and still make my goal. I have also been helping teach Mallory’s joy school and enjoyed being a part of seeing her interact with other kids and learn. Oh, and some of my friends from church have been playing in a city v-ball league and we are pretty darn serious about it! Weekly practices and games! Haha. We are almost finished with the season and I have had fun trying to master the sport even though I am 28… ha. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mallory has been loving joy school and made so many new friends since we got back. She was liking ballet as well until the teachers cat scratched her face some girls accidently hit her with their wands… ha. Hoping she gets over it soon. She is one funny girl. Loves to be tied up, tie things up, put things in cages, and lock everything up.. ha… Some weird hobby of hers I guess. She is sooo smart too. I have been doing a reading program with her and she is starting to pick up on reading! She is a good big sis and helper most of the time too </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Kaisley is our little (or not so little) peanut. We love her to death. She loves animals (real or stuffed) and gets so excited and squeals and extends her legs and arms at the sight of them. She has the deepest raspy voice and Porter thinks it is because she was born in Texas. Ha. She has been pretty healthy for the past 2 months so we are crossing our fingers for that to continue through the winter. She is starting to crawl and scoot around more and cruise furniture too. We just love her and her feisty personality. She laughs all the time and her smile is just like her Daddy’s; sometimes I can’t believe how much they hold their mouths alike. So cute!</div>

She looks pretty darn excited about the candycorn colored cupcakes doesn't she! Got an idea of a blog to do a halloween advent countdown. Malli draws a halloween prize, craft, snack, or activity each day and loves it! And I have love having some fun things planned to do with the girls. Makes the days go sooooo much better!<br />

Life is good. Just went to the relief society broadcast. Funny how the inspired words shared at those meetings can make everything seem fine that you might have just previously boobed about. Those meetings are such great reminders of who we are and how we should be. I just loved it and the ladies there. I love our ward and am so grateful we are here getting to know so many wonderful people... Anyway... here are some pictures from the past few weeks.</div>

Little Kaisley is 9 1/2 months old. Here is is playing at the play area at the mall. At her 9 month apt on Monday she weighed in at 20#12oz and 28.5 inches. About the 76th percentile for both. Big healthy girl! Love her so much. Her new thing is that she loves pointing at things now. It is so cute.<br />

My sassy 3 year old. She is acting so much more mature. I don't know if it is her going off to school and dance on her own all the time or what. She is so much fun though. Love her to pieces.<br />

They had their little dog Eleanor there that Mallory absolutely loves so we had to take a few pics with her and the dog. You would think it is her dog the way she is smiling so big but I am sad to say we have not buckled yet... Poor girl needs a dog but I don't want to deal with one!<br />

Malli and Morgan. Morgan and their family have been such wonderful friends to our family. Just like family here in Texas. Pretty much adopted our children in!

Well, these are the only 2 pictures I can get to upload so this post will be a post just for my little Kaisley. She is 9 months old now and such a big, happy girl. We love her. She can say Mama and stands really well with support. She is just finally starting to pull herself up on things and lurch forward as if she might crawl. We are convinced she might be a bumb scooter again like her older sis. She loves to sit and can move around a bit from there. We like to call her Kais and Kaiser and Grandpa Dayton has given her the name "Kicker". She sure is a fun girl! love you! Oh, love little Malli too... see that sly look in the picture. She often times likes to tease her sis but most the time is a great big sister and helper.</div>

Well, I think I jinxed myself saying I am feeling more ambitious and signing myself up for all sort of extra things. This past week has ended up being awful and I have felt like I spin in circles trying to deal with one issue before I can fix the first one. I am just grateful nothing is life threatening and am still so blessed in so many ways. I only am hoping for things to settle down soon!!! Please!!!!!</div>

Well, our what seemed like was going to be forever summer in Snowflake has come and gone so quickly. We had so much fun there and loved seeing our families and friends more but are happy to be back home. Malli is even happy to be back at her own house which is a bit of a relief. She had so much fun in AZ I was worried she wouldn't like home anymore but she does luckily. The journey back home was eventful to say the least. We were having trouble with our car starting (on and off) for the few days leading up to the time for us to head off for Taylor's wedding and then drive the long drive back to Texas. We could not get the problem resolved and had some fun mornings being stranded (the most fun one was at 4 AM when we needed to get to the airport). We just have to feel blessed that the car started on the 2 days we made the long trip back her to San Angelo and then on the next day it wouldn't start again. I felt silly but I could see the tender mercies of the Lord so many times on that trip home. Our AC has been acting up as well. When we left Mesa and headed toward Tucson in the 112 degree heat our AC just could not keep up. We were all miserable and the kids (and I) were getting fussy :) I kept praying that somehow everything would cool down because there was no way we could handle a 12 hour drive like that. Within about 30 minutes a small cluster of clowds formed and it rained for just long enough to drop the temperature outside and our AC felt so much better. We made it through that first day and the second day was an extremely cool day for Texas weather. I was so grateful for the Lord looking out for us on those two big travel days that I was so worried about.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway, enough about that... we are now back in San Angelo and busy as ever... (and loving it!) I finally feel ambitious again and love it! Since my pregnancy with Kaisley was so difficult I started to wonder if that was just the new me.. sick, lazy, and worthless. And then after having a newborn I felt better but was tired and busy with two little ones but finally I feel like I am back to my old self... evidenced by the fact that just this week I interviewed for a nutrition consultant job for a shelter here in San Angelo, signed up for a half marathon in October, am going to be teaching Joy School for Mallory with a few other Mom's, and I am soooooo excited to be busy again and on the go.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Porter has enjoyed his first week in his affiliation at Shannon hospital. He is gone all day and has some assignments in the evenings but likes the hands on experience he is getting.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Overall, we are just so grateful for the blessings we have and for our health. We are so grateful our families let us bum off them for a few months and make so many fun memories. Here's to another year in San Angelo!</div>

We have been busy these past few weeks. Now it is time to get ready to head home to Texas. But first we get to fly up to Idaho with my family for Taylor and Natalie's wedding! We leave this Thursday for Mesa, fly out on Friday morning and they get married on Saturday! We are so happy for them. They are too cute! Then we head straight back to Texas. We are finally going home and are actually really ready to get back to our life in San Angelo. This summer was great though, and we had tons of fun with family and friends. Here are a few pictures of our last few weeks here.</div>

The past week was so much fun that it TOTALLY wore us out. We started off the week bringing home little Brynlie (my niece) from Mesa to play for 5 days until the Bonds got here for the big Pioneer day celebration. The girls had a blast together going to the park, the pond, playing, making crafts, going shopping, etc. The fun finally ended on day 5 when they decided they knew how to fight. Thank goodness Britt's family got here that day to help me keep the kiddos in line. Overall they did great though and we really enjoyed spending time with Brynlie. She is Mallory's BFF Malli tells me :) Then once the Bonds got here the boys went camping and fishing while the girls worked on Mom's 50th b-day party. The party turned out nice and I think Mom enjoyed being taken care of and told home much we love and appreciate her... doesn't happen as often as it always should. Friday the Pioneer day events started up. We hit the arts and crafts show, rodeo, 10k race, car show, pioneer homes, parade, pond, fireworks, and ball games. We also had lots of fun gatherings with both sides of our families. Monty and Kendra were in town and it was Misti and Stratton's last weekend before moving to Chicago for school so we had to live the weekend to the fullest. Here are some pics.</div>

Now off to Lake Powell and many more adventures I am sure. I am tired already but having lots of fun.Caldwellshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00226045211860633305noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4311603468693491983.post-48981393906829938312012-06-19T18:55:00.000-07:002012-06-19T18:55:21.566-07:00June... now we are off to AZ for the rest of summer!<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here a few pictures of June. It is the easiest and quickest way to remember what we did, hence the picture overload. It has been another busy month. We had had lots of fun so far this summer but sure are ready to get out of the heat here in Texas and get off to visiting family in the (mostly) cooler weather in Arizona. I can't believe how sad I feel at times though to think of leaving this place but knowing how much fun it will be to see family makes it all okay. Mallory can't wait to see her cousins, aunts and uncles, and Grandparents (and neither can we!). We will also get to meet Dash (Misti and Stratton's new baby), Reece (Monty and Kendra's), and Kambree (Britt and Aaron's). We are so excited!</div>

Kaisley trying food for the first time. I waited until 6 months, knowing that is the new recommendation but all the while feeling like she was wanting it much earlier, but, come to find out she HATES food! She has hated everything we have given her. She sobs, thrashes, and it even sends a shiver down her as she gags like it is the worst thing ever! ha. So, looks like my chunky baby is going to be the picky one. Crazy.<br />
Oh, and in other news at her 6 month apt she was 17#12.5 oz. and 27 inches long. She is around the 77th percentile for weight and 84th percentile for height. Big girl! We sure do love her. She has been soooooo sweet lately!<br />

Went and played "putt putt" with some friends. It is NOT called "miniature golf" here in Texas we have learned. After so many times of us calling it miniature golf and them looking at us funny and them calling it putt putt we finally just joined in... ha. Kaisley and Malli had fun. Malli and I were an awesome team! We won!!! :) (oh, and Porter was on our team too! :) )<br />

Here are wayyyyy too many pictures but I think they are the best way to remember the what we have been up to the past month. Really, some days it feels like all I do is spin in circles feeding and diapering/toileting children but looking back at these pictures I realize we did actually do a few things.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have also been reminded this past week of how precious every moment I have with my little girls and husband are. I know that being a mother to two angels and a wife to a wonderful husband is an eternal calling and I am so grateful for everything that comes along with it. Our friends here in San Angelo just lost their 18 month old little boy in a tragic accident two days ago and I am sad to say this has made me realize how precious every moment is here on earth with our loved ones. I think Mallory wonders why I have hugged her and told her I love her so much these past few days. I just can't imagine facing such a tragedy. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It has been exactly 1 year since we moved here to Texas. We have truly been blessed this past year and have felt our Savior looking out for us along the way. Porter has successfully completed his first year of PT school! (so proud of him!), we have met wonderful people and made great friends, and we have added a new bundle of joy to our family. I can tell this year has helped us to grow and stretch in many ways and I feel we have truly been sent her for a reason. We are excited for 2 more years here and for a fun 2 month visit to Snowflake in a few weeks to see our families who we have missed sooooo much!</div>

Last minute we decided to run in a 3 mile race at the college. Porter and I brought home some goods! ha. We had our best race time yet I think and came home with an ipod, watch, water bottles, and a t-shirt! We could not believe the prizes for a little 3 mile run! ha. It was a blast running together. <br />

Mallory getting all set up for her tea party she had the other day. She had a few friends from the ward come over and dress up in princess dresses and have snacks. She was so excited. She totally reminded me of myself getting things all set up on the table just how she liked it before the guests arrived.</div>

This past Sunday one of the girls from Porter's PT class got married in Abilene so we went to that.

Mallory is in LOVE with hotels. haha. She was so excited!</div>

Mallory can tell us the whole resurrection story and is quite amazed by it. She asks to watch the youtube video I found about Christ and his resurrection multiple times a day and loves it. She also enjoyed the part of Easter that brought sweets, gifts, bunny's, and egg hunts.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Kaisley is 4 months old now and 15.5 pounds. She is growing way too fast despite being so sick all the time. About 5 days ago she started with her 4th sickness (2 of the previous were tested as RSV and I am thinking this might be RSV again but the dr. did not test this time.) My poor baby has been sick most of her life. It breaks my heart. We took her to the doc and he said she is wheezing really bad and that this is the 3rd sickness she has had with wheezing which means she has asthma. So, he diagnosed her with asthma. I hope he is wrong but listening to her breathe right now makes me think he is probably right. I just hope it won't be too severe or limit her much. We love that girl to death and just want her to be able to enjoy life.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Anyway, here are a few pics of our Easter events.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-lEOV09cEjgg/T4NTTBzg6yI/AAAAAAAACK0/hkvjjJryx2s/s1600/IMG_3451.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" nda="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-lEOV09cEjgg/T4NTTBzg6yI/AAAAAAAACK0/hkvjjJryx2s/s320/IMG_3451.jpg" width="240" /></a></div> Making bird nests and eggs.

Mallory was sooooo excited to see Grandma and Papa and so were we. We got to stay in a beautiful hotel right on the river walk and go to Sea World, the Alamo, and the San Antonio Temple. For being our first real vacation with 2 kids I would consider it a success. We were exhausted from time to time dragging all of our junk around for the kids and carrying tired kiddos around but it was so worth it. Thanks Mom and Dad for coming to Texas on your spring break! We had a blast!!!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pRsEcBvwgqY/T3DdeuTVQpI/AAAAAAAACIs/Z5MPz5KFsPw/s1600/IMG_3419.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img aea="true" border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-pRsEcBvwgqY/T3DdeuTVQpI/AAAAAAAACIs/Z5MPz5KFsPw/s320/IMG_3419.jpg" width="240" /></a></div> Mallory ready to hit the road.<br />

After calling my Dr. for 5 days concerned about my baby and them messing up her first RSV test and accidentally testing it for flu they finally re-tested her and she sure enough she has RSV again! That means Malli has had it too. These poor girls don't deserve to be sick so much. Not to mention how exhausted their parents are! Mallory is doing really well, just lots of boogies but Kaisley seems to be improving more slowly than last time. It has been nearly 2 weeks already and she still sounds pretty yucky. I think we have seen a slight improvement in her the past day or so though so I am hoping we are on the downhill. She is still sweet as ever though. The Dr. couldn't believe she got it twice in one season and thought I was crazy for telling them that I needed her to be seen because I thought that was the problem. Maybe they will listen to me from now on! Anyway, we are slowly starting to recover I think. Porter has been on Spring Break which has been a blessing to he could help out but a bit of a bummer too since we didn't get to go anywhere fun. We did enjoy each other this week though and got quite a few little projects done around here so that was nice.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Happy St. Patty's day! Mallory loved her rainbow pancakes (and no, she did not eat all of these!), green eggs and ham, and green juice. I think I will make her eggs green all the time. She loved them so much that she ate the leftovers for lunch too! They looked pretty unappetizing to us.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-03qKGsvk0L4/T2TZIntPB2I/AAAAAAAACHc/Sx5q9T-_Z4Y/s1600/IMG_3403.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img aea="true" border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-03qKGsvk0L4/T2TZIntPB2I/AAAAAAAACHc/Sx5q9T-_Z4Y/s320/IMG_3403.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> These two are the best of friends. I promise they are, even though every time I get the camera to snap a picture of the two of them playing Kaisley starts to scream. She usually is a a pretty good sport and lets Mallory smother her most of the day. Notice they are not too different in size already!<br />

He even left his hat behind and we found footprints! She was sooooo thrilled with it all! (Her mouth is full of chocolate in the picture as it was most of the day!) She told Porter the other day that her Mom is a little bit weird because she won't let her eat all the chocolate she wants. She says some pretty comical things.<br />

Ha. I ran in the Shamrock 5k here in San Angelo. I was not feeling the greatest during the run and didn't even get that great of a time but at least I placed. I can definitely tell that I am not back to my old self again yet in the running department. I blame it on having both kids sick with RSV twice since I was able to start exercising again. I guess you could say I have been a bit tired lately and not as good about getting myself out of bed to exercise in the mornings. Oh well, the babies are more important. It sure was fun to get back to a race though.

She cried through the whole thing so here are a few of the lovely pictures I captured :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">p.s. Kaisley's 2 month apt states were :</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">11 lbs 11 oz and 23 inches long putter her at about 70th% for both weight and height. She was only at 12th% at birth so she is really working her way up the ladder. She loves to eat! :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Oh.. and Mallory had her first 2 tests done on her heart and both were normal. We only have her ECHO left to do on March 26th... we are praying that that one comes back fine and we are good to go with 2 healthy girls!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HKg4ggt5QPE/TzrTcVB3Q1I/AAAAAAAACEs/bHAU7vraTU0/s1600/IMG_3296.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HKg4ggt5QPE/TzrTcVB3Q1I/AAAAAAAACEs/bHAU7vraTU0/s320/IMG_3296.jpg" width="320" yda="true" /></a></div><br />

Probably due to her being sick and that she has a healthy heart! Thank goodness. Now we get to have Mallory's heart checked next week. They heard a heart murmur on her also a few weeks back and want to run some test to make sure she does not have something wrong. We need another good report on that one and we are good to go! Heart problems are all too familiar in our family. Porter's little brother, Gunner had heart surgery only a few years ago and there are a few others in the extended family with issues. We are praying for good results on her tests too.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><object id="BLOG_video-FAILED-0" class="BLOG_video_class" contentid="FAILED" width="320" height="266" ></object></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-juCEqgSSb4k/TyrwTr98NzI/AAAAAAAACDs/eoK7BV0IDBU/s1600/IMG_3276%5B1%5D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" sda="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-juCEqgSSb4k/TyrwTr98NzI/AAAAAAAACDs/eoK7BV0IDBU/s320/IMG_3276%5B1%5D.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>Healthy heart...happy girl!

These girls are typically so happy and full of energy but two Thursdays ago Mallory started the rough sounding croup cough. She also started running a fever to we took her to the Dr. the next morning and he gave her a steroid shot and said she would improve with that but still have a bit of a cough for a while and to just try to keep her and Kaisley separate if possible. So... we tried and this is how things went (see picture below). </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-95M5JSv62eM/TydN-BVzEgI/AAAAAAAACCc/IGalq-RcG94/s1600/IMG_3248.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" gda="true" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-95M5JSv62eM/TydN-BVzEgI/AAAAAAAACCc/IGalq-RcG94/s320/IMG_3248.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Anyway, Mallory's fever and cough persisted for 4 long days and on that Sunday night we heard Kaisley start the dreaded cough. So, Monday morning we were back in the Dr.'s office having Kaisley looked at. Once again, Dr. said she probably had croup or a cold and to not bring her back in unless she had a fever over 101 or had more than 60 respiration's a minute without stopping. So, we went home. The two girls did not feel good to say the least but Daddy's birthday was the next day so we were excited to try to have a fun day.</div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-O46kYmQxuV0/TydOmtmyljI/AAAAAAAACCk/lxN0kESCTCk/s1600/IMG_3251.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" gda="true" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-O46kYmQxuV0/TydOmtmyljI/AAAAAAAACCk/lxN0kESCTCk/s320/IMG_3251.jpg" width="240" /></a></div> Here is Porter with his two girls. He had a great B-day and despite the kids not feeling the greatest we were so ready to get out of the house so we went out to Texas Roadhouse for dinner and to an Angelo State Basketball game. It was the last bit of fun we were going to be having for a while... :)<br />
<br />
Then on Thursday I became more concerned about Kaisley. She still had not started a fever and her reparations seemed faster (at times they were 60 per minute) but then she would settle down and they would become more regular. I was still worried though and she started gagging from her long coughing spells and throw up when I would feed her. She was struggling to breathe and I called the Dr. again to see if they would see her. They said that she just had a cold that need to run its course since she did not have the fever and continuous fast breathing. So, despite my concern we went to bed Thursday night. Kaisley was worse that night and at 12:30 AM began throwing up over and over again from the coughing and was breathing super fast and her little eyes looked fearful as she panted for air saying "help me mom!" That is when I knew, I am going to take her in right now! I don't care what they keep telling me.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bndWsWIDpnI/TydPKLkdHwI/AAAAAAAACCs/5yDHYxXKZ_c/s1600/IMG_3254.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" gda="true" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bndWsWIDpnI/TydPKLkdHwI/AAAAAAAACCs/5yDHYxXKZ_c/s320/IMG_3254.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So... low and behold, we ended up admitted that night at about 1:30 AM. Kaisley tested positive for RSV and her chest xray showed viral pneumonia. They said, "we are going to admit her overnight", so, I was thinking we would be going home the next day.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SUEvlFHCzIs/TydtXGwvpcI/AAAAAAAACC8/12cCDyOAauk/s1600/IMG_3259.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" gda="true" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-SUEvlFHCzIs/TydtXGwvpcI/AAAAAAAACC8/12cCDyOAauk/s320/IMG_3259.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> Well, that was NOT the case. She only progressively got worse as the time when on which they explained to me was normal because RSV usually gets worse before it gets better. Despite her being so sick she did have a few moments where she would interact and even give her mom some sweet little smiles. She is just 7 weeks old and starting all the cute little smiles.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lNMACTfrUbI/Tydt9I0ljcI/AAAAAAAACDE/LvAY3BTdeDo/s1600/IMG_3262.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" gda="true" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lNMACTfrUbI/Tydt9I0ljcI/AAAAAAAACDE/LvAY3BTdeDo/s320/IMG_3262.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">It broke my heart to watch her go through all the poking and prodding and struggling to breathe. She had cords an IV attached to her making it difficult for me to hold and love on her and nursing was not that easy either, especially since her tummy was so unsettled from all of the mucus she was swallowing. I guess they say RSV is so bad because the mucus is soooo thick that the little ones have a hard time breathing through there narrow air passages and they have a hard time clearing it. I think that yucky mucus that was filling her lungs and clogging up her nose and throat was making her gag and throw up.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">She continued on monitors to watch her reparations and breathing treatments and other than that we just had to wait for the virus to run its course.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--w5zkQcTy3Q/TygaxEOxUxI/AAAAAAAACDU/lE5gGssdog8/s1600/IMG_3264.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" gda="true" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--w5zkQcTy3Q/TygaxEOxUxI/AAAAAAAACDU/lE5gGssdog8/s320/IMG_3264.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> Then on day 3 we get the news that they had been hearing a heart murmur which is not too common at 7 weeks old so they need to run some tests to be sure she was not having any other heart problems. They did and EKG and Echo which we are still waiting on the results for. They say it could only be due to her being sick so we are crossing our fingers for that!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3lXFgmXY0r8/TygbTWMAk_I/AAAAAAAACDc/wsERAlBTWYE/s1600/IMG_3267.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" gda="true" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3lXFgmXY0r8/TygbTWMAk_I/AAAAAAAACDc/wsERAlBTWYE/s320/IMG_3267.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I hated this darn IV and was so excited when it was finally time to take it out and come home! (day 4)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rmExXLhLad8/Tygr4nDxvkI/AAAAAAAACDk/309UpyQPCAo/s1600/IMG_3270.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" gda="true" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rmExXLhLad8/Tygr4nDxvkI/AAAAAAAACDk/309UpyQPCAo/s320/IMG_3270.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>We just got home and Kaisley seems better already, just being out of that hospital makes us all feel better I think. We are continuing breathing treatments here at home and she should be fine before long! I have sure been thinking about how grateful I am for all the blessings we enjoy. It is hard to recognize all the good we have until we are faced with something that stretches us. I was so exhausted since I was the one staying at the hospital day and night because she nurses and Porter was taking care of Mallory. Little Kaisley was not sleeping well and wanted held whenever she did sleep, not to mention the hospital staff were checking on her so often and running tests and treatments so it was VERY hard to rest. I remember at points wondering if I was going to be able to keep doing it. May arms were so tired and fatigued from no rest and holding her constantly. Funny though now somehow we make it through with help from family, friends, ward members, priesthood blessings, prayer, and strength from our Savior! Thanks to everyone for the love and support! We are just so happy things seem to be okay now.<br />
<br />
p.s. we sent Mallory to AZ for the week to spend time with her grandparents there. I have been sooooo sad without her around... The house is so quite. I love being a mother and can't wait for her to get back and for us to get to be a "normal" family again. Fun thing is, she is just fine without us and having a great time :) hahaCaldwellshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00226045211860633305noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4311603468693491983.post-88047914989467137662012-01-21T19:46:00.000-07:002012-01-21T19:46:42.036-07:00Kaisley's Newborn Pictures<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">My beautiful baby girl.

Kaisley has been such a good baby. We love having her in our home and are grateful she is a healthy, happy girl.Caldwellshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00226045211860633305noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4311603468693491983.post-26627530394339411782012-01-11T18:24:00.000-07:002012-01-11T18:24:17.939-07:00Kaisley's baby blessing day<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">On New Years Day we blessed Kaisley. She was only 3 weeks old but it was the perfect day to bless her with all of our family still in Snowflake for the holidays. We blessed her in Snowflake 10th ward which was our old ward last year before we moved to Texas and my Mom and Dad's ward. Porter gave her a special blessing and she was so good during it. She looked like a beautiful little angel in her white dress. We then had a brunch with family afterwards and it ended up being a very memorable day. Thanks to all of our family for coming to support us and Kaisley.
