Well I guess it started out kind of scary. Michelle went to the hospital with toxemia. They were hoping she would be able to be on bed rest for a couple of weeks and keep little Jaydia cooking until at least 34 weeks, but that didn't happen. Wednesday they took Michelle down to UVRMC and Jaydia Michelle Smith was born. She is the first niece/grandchild on my side of the family, and we were all very excited. Jaydia was 8 weeks early but is doing AMAZINGLY well. She had to be on a ventilator to help her breathe because she couldn't get all the CO2 out. Then she had a small billi lamp on since she was borderline jaundice. Now she is off the ventilator and cpap machine and breathing on her own!! She does still have a feeding tube and needs to learn to suck, swallow and breathe, and when she does that she can go home. They say 3-4 weeks! That is amazing. Michelle is doing well. She was discharged on Sunday from the hospital. We are so excited to Christian, Michelle and Jaydia!
Ryan's sister Holly had her little baby boy on Friday night! How exciting! Except they are so far away! Wish they were closer so we could go visit! But we are so excited for them as well! Congratulations guys! He is darling!
Leslie is so freaking excited to finally be an aunt! She thinks Jaydia is the "best thing ever!" Of course we all do!
Just can't help being excited that the babies are finally here and everyone is doing well!
