Our sweet Hannah Lu

This is Hannah Lu, she was born Tuesday, February 17th at 11:56 am via c-section. She decided to suprise us with what is called Pierre Roban. It is a condition where her chin is to far back and her tongue falls into her throat. There for she can not breath. Also she has a partial cleft pallet inside of her mouth. This will all be repaired. She is scheduled for surgery on Friday to correct her chin. Unfortunately this is all to familiar to me. Many of you know that Jackson was premature and was in the hospital for a couple of months. Who knew we would have to do this again. This was a good pregnancy, and a full term baby. I guess Heavenly Father thinks that we are strong enough to cope. Although it is hard to leave our sweet girl behind in the hospital, she will be home soon. And in no time her brothers will be terrorizing her. It is also safe to say that it looks like I have another clone of Shawn. We are very excited to have her as a part of our family and can't wait to share her with our family and friends. In the mean time I will keep everyone posted on how she is doing.
Hannah Lu, she is one day old

Minor Update!!!!

It looks like Hannah Lu will make her debut Monday evening the 16th! My doctor was a little worried about me having so much insulin on board the next morning, since I can't eat he didn't want me to crash in the O.R. So fine by me. I was kind of looking forward to having all of our kids born on a Tuesday, but since its a girl she needs to have her own day! We should be home from the hospital Thursday or Friday. I will update everyone then!

February 17th!!

That will be the day that we welcome baby Hannah Lu into our family and this world! Just a quick update for everyone. There have been a few changes, the baby has dropped so I am not comfortable anymore. It is hard to walk and do the things that I need to do with the boys and around the house. So I am counting down the days! I have also started to swell. Out of my three pregnancies, this has been the longest I have been able to wear socks and shoes. I am not the biggest fan of socks, but it was a huge accomplishment to be able to wear them until 35 weeks, and to get them on by myself!! We have been going to Salt Lake once a week the last month and I am excited to say this coming Wednesday will be the last trip for awhile. The drive is getting hard, especially doing it that often.
I will have an amniocentethis on the 16th just to make sure she is ready and then a c-section on the 17th. 38 weeks. I can't believe I will be that far along. I am sure we will have lots of pictures in our next post, I just thought I better say a little something before she is born. So until then.
