llo ladies,

I havn't been online in a few weeks & thought i'd drop in for an update.  On Friday
January 16th my water broke.  I was only 31 weeks & 6 days pregnant.  I was taken by ambulance to St. Joe's hospital in Milwaukee where they specialize in preemies.  I stayed there on bedrest for 2 weeks. 

On January 31st I was induced, but had a LONG labor & delivered Kaylee Lynn on February 1st @9:37p.m.  She was 5lbs. 1oz.  17 & 3/4 inches long.  She has been doing well.  I was released from the hospital on Tuesday, but Kaylee will be staying at the hospital for 10-14 more days.  She is being treated for high levels of billy ruben under a light therapy lamp.  She is breathing on her own now & is trying to bottle feed. 

Please keep us & Kaylee in your prayers.  We have a long commute from home to the hospital & our other 2 children are REALLY sick right now.  We are a bit short on cash, because my husband wasn't able to work for the 2 weeks that I was on bedrest at the hospital.  We still have a long road, but Kaylee's road is much longer.  Please pray for her quick recovery!

On a lighter note: Here are some photos....

She beautiful. She looks good. Somehospital have funds that help parents. When my daughter was in the NIUC I brought a month parking pass, I latter found out they give some out to parent of kids in the NIUC. They  did give me some food tickets. Congradulations. It is hard when you have others at home.
