We are home...again

Oh my! What an update I have. After coming home on Thursday with baby Telan we spent one night at home and she was having a hard time staying awake to eat. On Friday afternoon I called the doctor because I felt that something just wasn't right and they told me to come up there asap. They checked her out and her temperature was 93.7 which I didn't even know was possible. The doctor sent us over to the hospital where we were admitted to the pediatrics unit. She was put into an incubator and had a feeding tube put in as well as an IV. They did a spinal tap to rule out infection and started antibiotics just in case. On Saturday night her heart rate kept dropping into the 50's and 60's. We were told this was normal but we asked to run some tests anyway. They did an EKG and an echo cardiogram, both of which came back normal. Her spinal tap came back normal as well, so the whole problem was that she was just too small and too premature to maintain her body temperature. We came home yesterday and Telan's temperature is doing well and she is eating much more than she was. Hopefully all of our "excitement" is over and we can try to get back to normal with our little princess.

Thanks to everyone who has been praying for us and those who have left kind messages on my myspace and facebook. I may not be able to answer them all right now, but I will be reading them all! I appreciate you all so much!!

Welcome Telan

Well, as most of you already know Telan Jade Huneycutt was born on Monday,
March 16,2009 @ 4:59pm. She weighed 4lb 6oz and was 18 1/4 inches long. She is absolutely beautiful and Jared & I are already so in love with her! I will try my best to get the details on here asap along with some pics. Thanks to everyone who has prayed for this little girl and our other angel whom we will never forget. Love you all!

Catching up

I had another shower today for Jared's side of the family and it was great. Thanks to everyone who came, we got lost of things we really need!

I had a doctor's appointment Friday of last week and everything was fine there. BP was 112/84 and the doctor said things are still looking good. They did have to take 5 tubes of blood again, but I was prepared for it and they made me lie down so I wouldn't pass out! Looks like it could be anytime between now and April 14th. I am ready!!!

Baby Shower

I have been a little slack, but I did want to let everyone that came to my shower Sunday know that Jared and I really appreciate them coming! I had a great time and got lots of neat stuff for Telan. I have been recuperating since then from all the excitement! That was the most I had done in the past couple months...and all I did was sit there. Thanks again to all who came and all who helped with the shower!!

Past the 34 week mark!

Today was my 34 1/2 week appointment and everything went great. My blood pressure was 118/70 and I had no signs of preeclampsia. I find it funny that every time I see my doctor he feels the need to tell me how he has never seen anyone with this problem get better. God works miracles :) That's about all I have to report for now. I have felt pretty yucky the past few days, but I think it's just stress. No big deal! Thanks again for the prayers!!

I couldn't resist

Ok, so I had to add this...the past couple weeks I have felt Telan's head poking me at the top of my belly so I would just push it down. Well, at the doc appt today after I found out she is not breech anymore I told the ultrasound tech I had been pushing her head down and she said "ummm, that's would be her butt!" I thought that was so funny! All this time I have been worried about poking her eye out or something and it was her butt I was pushing on!

Snow day

I had a doctor's appointment this morning at 7:45 and was a little upset that all that snow made me miss it, but I still got to go this afternoon. Yea! It was overall a great appointment! Telan is now 4lbs, which is about 13 oz more than 2 weeks ago :) I think she must have hit a growth spurt because she hasn't been gaining that much between all the other appointments. And the equally exciting news is she is no longer breech! Woooohooo!!! This means hopefully no c-section! We got some great views of her sweet little face during the ultrasound which was really nice. We also found out that I could go close to term with the pregnancy...so it could be another 6 weeks.

This was also the first time we saw Trinity during an ultrasound since she passed. It was a little hard to handle, but I have been trying to prepare myself for this. I know we have had people who have prayed for peace for Jared and I and we appreciate those prayers so much!
