Getting Big...

I'm getting to be a big girl! I have had 3 good days in a row! Whoot, whoo! I weigh 2lbs 8oz today, and am closer to getting the 3lb double chin!

Baby & Mama Shower

 I had a wonderful time today visiting with friends, neighbors and family.  We had TERRIFIC turnout for the baby shower!  The gifts are such a blessing, but the support and love that was felt tonight will never be forgotten.  Thank you all so much! I had a very busy day at Primary Children's before the baby shower, and felt very tired...I pretty much look a mess...but that's to be expected.

Me & Jen Cook (best friends since 3rd grade).

 

Lynn Stallard, Me, and Susie Record (Susie's baby Audrey is in the NICU at Primary's with Charly.  It's no coincidence!  Susie and I were neighbors 4 years ago...in fact, her husband was our home teacher).

My Mom, Me, Kim (due with baby Boy Bentley on Oct 15th) and Sara (due with baby Boy Lincoln on October 13th...yep, we were all supposed to have babies within 3 weeks of each other.  I guess Charly just couldn't wait to get here first.

Biopsy on Charly

I'm sorry If I'm not responding to anyone timely (text, facebook, phone, blogs, etc)...It's been a crazy week. Charly had another test done today (a rectal biopsy) and has another one tomorrow. The surgeons are trying to 'rule out' something or other... I will try and respond to messages, and emails as soon as I can. Thanks for all your love and support. Keep the prayers coming.

Moving Charly to Primarys

Of course...the most updates are on Charly's blog, but I wanted to inform everyone here as well:  Charly was moved to Primary Children's today - being evaluated for a bowel problem, and watching the status of her brain bleeds carefully...I will have updates as they come.  The staff at IMC let me hold her before she was moved...as they warned me...it may be a long time before I get to hold her again.  This day, by far, has been the very most stressful.

One Month!

We are thankful for miracles! Charly is now one month old! We are so grateful for all the prayers, thoughts, and miracle angels that have been there getting us through this past month. This is a HUGE milestone, and we are so thankful for all of you!

Update on Charly

Charly Bella is happy to announce that she has gained weight! She has gone from 1lb 4 oz, to 1lb, 13oz.

And is taking her feedings like a CHAMP!
