Our 4 Kiddos!

June 14th 2011 birth of Noah!!

We were scheduled to be induced on June 14th which we were...It was a very emotional day b/c we didnt know what to expect. The hospital called that morning & said that I would need to wait to come in b/c they didnt have any beds! I was up all night the night before not feeling right & sick. So I called & told them at labor & delivery & she said come on up they would monitor me and maybe by then they would have a room. I got up there and sure enough he was having heart distress, that let alone scared me b/c he has fluid on his heart at one point & a cyst on his brain along with being smaller than normal. So they put oxygen on me & I turned over more than I think I ever had in my life. They were talking about c-section & they had to get Noah out immediatly! I was so scared..My mom,sister, and aunt were out in the waiting room with my other kids.Shawn was the only one with me. The nurse said he must know that today was supposed to be his birthday b/c hes coming no matter what..They gave me fluids & wheeled me off..They hooked me up before taking me back to do a csection and his heart stats came up. The doctor came in and decided it was best to break my water and go from there..I got to about a 5 and requested a epidural which I had never had with any my other kids, they were all natural. I kinda freaked out at first b/c I could still feel things but I looked for a instant relief and its not..lol..Eventually after about 20 min I was not feeling a thing but started getting sick!! I felt like I was spinning and started vomiting. The nurse decided to check me b/c sometimes that can mean when your cervix changes so quick you get sick and sure enough I was a 10 in a matter of 1 hour. I had been in labor already for 3 hours but it was time to meet this baby who nobody thought would have made it. They got the table prepared along with Nicu standing by to evaluate. Noah Lander Watkins was born weighing 6lbs 3oz 19 inches long at 1:36 pm...Healthy as Can be Not a single thing wrong!! I didnt listen to the doctors but prepared for the worst but left it in Gods hands and he delivered like he always does......Meet Noah!

We loved you even before we met you Noah Lander Watkins!!

March 2011

Everything has really calmed down lately..Avery got good results no cancer:) That was the biggest blessing this week..Noah had his appt with the perinatalologist..He looked so much different then before.He is beginning to look like Chase & Dillan! Doc said he was very small, belly is measuring small & legs but I already did the chromosonal tests so no problem there..I am dilated to a 1..Considering I have had some kidney infections I didnt know they can cause pre term labor..He perscribed me some antibiotics I will be taking almost up until hes born..He said I really need to rest in bed but how hard is that with 3 other kiddos?!?! Depending on how things go they make take him as early as they can where he will be able to survive..I go back on March 22 for my gestational diabetes test but all in all we got blessed news this week..Fluid around his heart has went down & brain looked good! They are still keeping a good eye on him for the future but God has really answered our prayers these last couple weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Update on Avery Marie!

Avery went in for her surgrey last week..It was a real battle through the whole week having to tell her its back to the hospital..She doesnt get why everyone else doesnt have to go but her! So during the ride there everytime we got to a stop light she would say " Can it turn green already" or stop sign " Can the people hurry" She was in a hurry to get it over with, I would just laugh. She was pretty good just anxious up until they got her settled in & gave some medicine through her mouth to relax her..We went off to surgrey as I held her hand & set with her beside the hospital table getting the iv started. I knew in my mind this was the worst part I had always hated. I didnt want to cry b/c I wanted her to know mommy was strong! The meds started kicking in where she felt like she was falling, so she started fighting them. She could not keep her eyes on me or anything..I just kept rubbing her hair trying to keep her calm.At a few points my heart just felt her pain & I told all 6 people in the room how hard this was for me.Finally after about 30 minutes her blood pressure calmed & oxygen was good they decided to put the meds through the iv also. That was like a relief to me knowing she could finally rest & mommy could too..I left went out to the waiting room with my grandpa & aunt while we waited..Patiently we waited a hour in a half then the doc came out & told me they found some little spots inside that they biopsy to make sure they were cancerous esc...no ulcers or polyps which was great..She also retested her Crohns & tested for celiac disease..We got to go home that evening..She has done good this past week went to school & now we are just waiting on the results from it all today...So I am waiting & praying for good results..Its hard to tell a kid when they said I dont want to ever do it again after having colonoscopys done 6 times only being 6..I didnt want to lie but I did say " Avery its something you will have to do once a year & mommy knows its hard but with your disease you have too"

Update On Noah!

23 Weeks 5 days Noah is moving along..I have gained 24lbs which is alot to me being the 104lbs I am used to! The doctor said my measurements are right on track but hes moving up some of my testing to next wed march 2 due to some spotting & wants to see how much hes grew esc..Then March 22 I due that  nasty gluclose test for diabetes..yuck..We did paint the nursery:) Ill post pics when its all togather..Ive had lots of people praying for him so I feel like Jesus blood is covering him..Sometimes I still get to where I am unsure but then I just remind myself how many miracles we have already been through considering they didnt think he would live period..
