Life Updated

Things have been crazy!!! After Cierra was born on Feb 16, 2009 We had a blissful and easy 2 day stay in the hospital. Dr Wold allowed me to go home early as did Dr Wise for Cierra. After about a week home and things going, what seemed, very smoothly we had to make an emergency run to the hospital and I was readmitted. I woke Brad up at 2 am and called my mom to watch the girls and we were off. I had started bleeding so heavily that I lost half of my blood.. literally. I had to have 3 more surgeries to try and stop the bleeding. The final one was experimental and Dr Wold wanted to try something before having to possibly do a hysterectomy. They inserted what is called a Baraki Balloon into my uterus to sustain continual pressure in hopes that it would stop my bleeding. This was the first time Dr Wold had ever done this surgery and the first time it had been done at Am Fork Hospital... like I said... experimental! It worked! So here we are finally home and I think I REALLY am starting to get better. Things are great.

Cierra is almost a month old and she is growing like a weed! At her 2 week appointment on March 2nd, she had gained 1 inch and 1 lb 3 oz since birth. I don't even know how much she has even grown since then! She is getting to be sooooo alert! Addy loves her so much, and I am thankful for that... I thought that Addy would have murdered her, but strangely, it has been the exact opposite! Addy is so loving and helpful... its the best (almost too good haha) I am so lucky to have two amazing, beautiful little girls and such a wonderful family!
