Kaylin got accepted into Shriners! Yesterday I got a call from the Chief of Staff at Shriners, telling me she has been accepted for treatment at their hospital!! This is very exciting for us. Our appointment is in June, and they will be doing a full diagnostic on her, and discuss what our options are for treatment for her little legs. This is only the first step of many into our ever changing life.

I look at Kaylin, and she is such a beautiful, happy, content, bundle of joy. But sometimes when I look at her.. I think to myself, she has no idea whats to come. Lord, Only you have all the answers, please give our sweet baby the strength and courage to make it through.

Glad to be home..

I'm so glad to finally be home from the hospital. We have been home for about a week now. We are all trying to adjust to this new life. Trying to find time for both our babies, household duties, 2 dogs, and 4 ducks. lol. It has been great so far. Not as stressful as everyone was telling me it would be. Although I am off work. It will be more challanging for us, once I go back to working 7 days a week again.

Collin thus far has done pretty good with his new baby sister. At first, he acted like she wasn't even here, and just went on about his business. But lately he has been paying more attention to her. He loves rubbing her head,"pretending" to give her kisses, giving her a binky, feeding her. He also has been showing some signs of jealously... wanting to always sit on mommy when Kaylin is, and the other day I gave Kaylin a bath, and Collin was extremely upset that he couldn't fit in her tub! Overall he is doing great with Kaylin! I couldn't be happier.  

The journey offically begins..

After only 5 hours of labor, Kaylin is finally here. She is so beautiful. Even though we have been given this challange in life, I feel so blessed to have her here with us. We knew from ultrasound that Kaylin's right leg is affected with FH, but to our surprise, both legs are affected. Xrays were taken at the hospital.. She has missing fibula, bowed tiba, missing toes/foot bones in her right leg. And she has missing toes/foot bones, bowed tiba/fibula in her left leg.                                   

To my beautiful daughter-
I remember when we first found out we were pregnant with you! And now you are finally here with us. You are so beautiful in so many ways. Just the way God created you. I'm very proud to be your mother and can't wait to start this new journey with you. Mommy and Daddy will always be here for you. I Love You baby girl.
