Holding in her pacifier and pulling on her toy

cousin Austin just loved Kysa!

She has a lot of hair and so I decided to see if we could get it into a sponge curler. LOL!

Kysa is finally over her RSV and she is doing so much better. Last week we went do to Vegas and stayed with my mom while my dad was out of town. Mindy finally got to meet Kysa and she just loved having her down there. I was just preparing Mindy for her upcoming little one. It was a lot of fun to be down there with them. I can't wait for them to come up here for Kysa's blessing. The only thing I hate about living up here is I never get to see my family. I miss them! I am ways excited for mothers day, I finally get to celebrate it and not because it is on my birthday. This little video is Kysa dancing to her own beat, LOL! 

 

RSV! My poor baby!

Lexi came over for a bit and she is so cute. She was trying to eat that tag! LOL!

Kysa has had a stuffy nose since about Saturday and Tuesday night it got so bad it was choking her and she was having a hard time breathing and she developed a cough. It was a little scary and I wanted to find out what was wrong. I wouldn't have been able to sleep if I didn't know she would be able to breath all night. So Jaden and I took her to the ER. I am a new paranoid mom. Maybe that was a little rash but I had to make sure she was ok. 

They did a chest Xray on her and they made Jaden and I hold her down and that was super hard for me to do. She was screaming and turning red and she had tears. I don't do well when she has tears. Then they had to do a RSV test which is a swab up her nose. She didn't like that. They couldn't tell us a whole lot at the hospital so we had to go to the pediatrician the next day to really find out a whole lot. 

The next day at the pediatrician we found out that she was positive for RSV. As soon as I heard that I started to cry. I have heard a lot of horrible things about it but nothing good. So of course I was freaking out! The doctor made me feel better because she looks really good for having RSV, the doctor was actually really surprised that she had it because she looked so good. We had to come back today and they thought she was still looking great. I wish they could give her something to make her better. I hate her being sick. I guess this just comes with the job of being a mom. 

The joy in our home!

Tyler was always willing to hold Kysa, He just couldn't seem to get enough of her. He is just so good with kids. I had to make sure I got pictures of him and Thomas holding her so I could show Kysa when she is a little older so she will know them when they get home from their missions. And also for proof that they were there for her birth!

My mom and brothers just visiting with Jaden's sisters family from Logan. 

Megan was the first to hold her and she was pretty excited about it. 

Out of everyone, Lexi, was the most excited to see and hold Kysa. She couldn't wait to see her new girl cousin!

Emilee holding her!

She looks so sweet when she is asleep. 

Me and my little Kysa Lyn!

She is such a joy to have home with us! Jaden is convinced that she is growing so much. I have to keep telling him she is only a week and 3 days old, she hasn't grown that much. We are so greatful that God has entrusted this little spirit to us. She is such a joy in our lives.

She's finally here!

A few hours old.

As you can tell by the last post that Jaden did Kysa is finally here. She was born on Thursday, March 12th at 1:49 pm. She wasn't nearly as large as they has said she would be, thank goodness. She ended up being only 7lbs 8ozs, she is now 7lbs 3ozs. She is 21 inches long. She is tall and skinny like her mom and dad. 

She is the best baby, she hardly ever cries and she smiles a lot. It kind of makes me sad because she has already changed so much in 4 days. She looks mostly like Jaden. The only feature she really got from me was her cute nose. Other than that she is all her dad. She is so lucky that she looks like him!

I am recovering slowly. I am really sore! Pain pills work ok, but I am not really a big fan of taking narcodics. I had to stay an extra day in the hospital because the pain pills totally messed me up. I was so dizzy and light headed I thought I was going to fall over. It really scared me because I didn't know if it was seizure related. It scared me. 

I am happy to report that Jaden is doing great! He is the best dad ever. He has changed almost every diaper and always wants to feed her and burp her and anything else. She already has him wrapped around her finger. He will do anything for her. It is the cutest thing in the whole world. 

Tonight will be the first night that we keep her all night without sending her to the nursery. She is hard to sleep with because she squeaks and makes all kinds of noises all night. I am a little worried how we will do. I am sure we will be fine. Patients is all I need.

We just lover her!!

Our new addition! Kysa Lyn Shaw, 7lbs 8oz and 21 in long. We're a little partial but she is the cutest thing ever. 

Time for an update

So I thought that today since I have some time I should do a little bit of catching up. Thankfully my sisters have been so kind to keep y'all informed on some of the things happening in the past little bit. The boys (Tyler and Thomas) got their calls! Yippy! I am not going to lie I was super excited that they were staying in the country. Outside, kind of scary! They were a little disappointed in not going outside the US but I thought it was great!

The baby shower (not bridal shower, nice one Brit) went really well and I really felt loved when almost everyone that we invited came. I got a lot of things that I needed which was really nice. I thought for sure all I was going to get was clothes because well lets face it, little baby girl clothes are just so darn cute! I did get quite a few but I still got things I needed which made me so happy. If they don't get it for me then I just won't get it and that could be bad. For instance, no bottles: Well we didn't get any bottles Jaden what do you want me to feed her with? How about a straw? LOL! So you see that could have been a big problem. Thank goodness someone found it in the goodness of their hearts to give me some bottles. LOL! 

Can I just tell you how much it sucks being like 33 weeks prego and driving in a car for 6 hours! I was so uncomfortable and in so much pain that I just wanted to get out and walk the rest of the way home, ok maybe not, but you get the idea of my pain. 

So on Monday my doctors office called to tell me that I don't have gestational diabetes. Thank goodness! So now that we know that, that means that I am just a freak with a lot of fluid around my poor little Kysa. Well Wednesday I went and got my stress test and that was just weird. They put these bands around your belly with these 2 little blue triangle thingys and they monitor you and the baby. There are two graphs that are on the screen. One is to show the babies movement and the other one is to show if you are having contractions. So I am sitting there watching these lines go up and down and up and down. I didn't realize it but I was having contractions the whole time. Sure it was a little uncomfortable but I just thought that that was the baby moving around and putting pressure down there, WRONG! So now I know that I have been having contractions for like 3 weeks now and just thought that the baby was doing that. NICE! 

So anyways, the doctor checked me out (OUCH) and everything is fine. The baby isn't trying to come right now. She did say that she didn't see her coming in the next two weeks but after that it could be any day. SWEET! 

I have been having such bad rib pain that I just want to die. There isn't anything that I can do to fix that though except tylonal or a nice warm bath. So I am thinking she is just going to have to come sooner like around the 26th (Kerri's guess for when she will come. I hope she wins!). I'm not going to lie that pushing a kid out my whoo hoo really scares me (ouch once again). Anyways so that is the update. The baby is good and I am in pain, to make a long story short!

news on being to big

Today we went and got the ultrasound to see why I am too big. It didn't go quite as I had hoped. I do have to much fluid and her abdomen is larger than it is suppose to be. The doctor that came in to talk to us about this told me that he thinks that I might have gestational diabetes. I already tested for it and my doctor told me that I wasn't even close to having it. So I am a little confused. I have to take the test again but the test is a little more elaborate this time. The doctor said that because there is so much fluid the uterus thinks that I am farther along than I really am so I could go into labor early. The Doctor that talked with us just pretty much told me all the bad things and all the bad things that could happen but didn't tell me anything good and didn't tell me anything that would answer any of the questions that I might have to make me feel at least a little better about the whole thing.

On a lighter note we did get some really good pictures of her. They did a 3D ultrasound for us and it turned out so good. It was really fun to get an idea as to what she might look like. I think that she has my nose and the rest is really a toss up. What do you think?

The top picture you can really see her face, the second picture shows her with a little grin. I am a little partial but I think she is super cute!
