ASU Pride

Here we are getting ready for ASU's Bowl Game. ASU vs Boise St. in the Las Vegas bowl. ASU didn't win but we had fun dressing up our little Sun Devil.

Hospital Stay

 A couple of weeks ago we had a little bit of a scare with Makenna. She had a cold for a few days and she started wheezing a little bit and the pediatritian's office told us with all the dangers of RSV we better take her in to the ER. When we arrived at the ER they said her Lungs sounded fine, but while we where there I got a call back from the pediatrician's office and they said they just got some results back from a a urine sample they had taken about a week ago and it came back positive with two kinds of bacteria. They had taken the urine sample at the office because she had been losing weight and they were just checking to see if she had any infections. So they admitted Makenna to Cadron's Children's hospital for a urinary tract infection while we waited for the results of a urine sample they took at the hospital. Brad's cousin's husband, Steve M who is a pediactrician at cardons came to be her pediatricain, which we were really grateful for.While at the hospital both Brad and I got sick. So with the stress of school, having a baby in the hospital and not feeling well  ourselves, we were really grateful to be in a hospital close to family. So Makenna had two rounds of antibiotics through an IV, and after two days we got the results back and the urine came back clear! So she didn't have a urinary tract infection after all. It was a false reading from the pediatrician's office. The doctors kept saying she was the healthiest baby they had seen in the hospital and it turns out she probably was! Oh well, it is better to be very cautious with little babies.

Weight Loss infomercial.

For about a week Makenna was starting to lose a little bit of weight, but we started supplementing her with formula and she is starting to chunk up quite nicely. She gained about 2 pounds in 2 weeks!

Makenna's First Christmas

As you can see Makenna was thrilled on Christmas morning. She was so excited, she hardley slept through the night. :)

Makenna's Blessing Day

 Makenna was given a beautiful blessing by her dad on Sunday November 27th. She did very well and didn't even cry! We appreciate all those that came to join us on this special day.

 

 

First time going to church

Enjoying Dad's break from school

Look Mom, One hand!

Makenna sure likes to be in her mama"s arms. She can be content for a couple minutes in a bouncer, about 30 secs in the swing, and about 10 secs if you just lay her down. She  just doesn't want to miss a minute of the action, and would much rather be carted around. As i type this one handed I'm discovering how much I can (and can"t) do one handed. So even though it can be a challenge to get really much done at this point, I'm going to try to enjoy the moments of holding and caring for my sweet little girl.
