Missing New York!

Well we were supposed to be in New York this weekend & week. Adam won another trip, but we decided not to go because we had been going out of town so much lately & it TAKS testing week at school (boooo!). Well, now that it's finally here, I'm really regretting not going. We were supposed to stay at the Waldorf. But it's probably a good thing we were home because Baylor had all the pain this weekend & we ended up in the hospital. I don't think anyone would have been able to handle him while we were gone.

Hospital Again

Tuesday, April 28th
We are at the hospital again with Baylor's arm contraption. He was supposed to get it off April 21st but they postponed it to the end of May because his bone wasn't quite strong enough. Well we spent this weekend in terrible pain & found out yesterday that one of his pins had come out of the bone & was just hanging in there. No wonder! So we had to come in and put him under anesthesia again to just take that one pin out.

Good News on Baylor April 7, 2009

Baylor had a Dr. appointment on April 7 with a new hematologist who is a transplant specialist. We got transferred to this new dr because his bone marrow test from January show that his bone marrow production fell to the lowest category. They wanted us to start getting things lined up in case his bone marrow failed and he needed a bone marrow transplant.
The new Dr is wonderful. She checked all of Baylor's blood counts and said everything looks great. She said she didn't feel like he was at any major risks right now, and we don't have to see her for another 6 months, which was great news. But even better, she contacted Viacord for us and they are banking the new baby's cord blood for free since Baylor has a medical necessity for it. So the new baby's cord blood will hopefully provide all we need for a bone marrow transplant if Baylor were to ever need that. Good things have been all around us lately. I don't think we could be more blessed right now!

23 weeks pregnant-Ultrasound April 15,2009

Today we go for another ultrasound. We haven't seen the baby since 14 weeks so I'm excited. We are bringing Baylor today, and this will be his first time to see her. My stomach is really big this pregnancy and has been since before 3 months! It's just weird & very different from Baylor. I've gained only 12 pounds so far & I just started back to the gym. Here's a picture of my stomach at 22 weeks.

Baylor Granted a Wish Trip March 2009

We found out in March that Baylor was granted a trip to DisneyWorld in Orlando, Florida. All expenses paid through Kids Wish Network. We go on our trip June 10, 2009. He's so excited. I'll be 30 weeks pregnant on the trip so I guess I'll be driving myself around in a little cart while we're there! It will be fun to do one more big exciting thing before the baby comes.
The Kemah police & fire dept. found out about his trip and decided to donate to Kids Wish Network in his behalf. They also invited us to visit the police & the fire dept. We got to ride around town in a fire truck with the fire dog! It was really cool. Baylor's Kid Wish link:
