Details about Jacob

Around day two Jacob started not breathing right. They took him to the NICU and hooked him up to some machines. Memories from Brendon came back and I bawled all day! My eyes were so swollen and puffy it took more than a day for them to go down. The pediatrician determined that the problem was not the lungs, but something higher. She called in an ENT doctor. Jacob had gunk from birth crusted over both sides of his nasal airway. The dr dug it out but now it’s a giant scab in his nose so it keeps blocking his airway. It’s not as bad as the first time because I’ve been able to keep one side open but we will have to make trips to North Platte to have the ENT look at him. As I’ve said before, “What would one of my pregnancies be without a little drama?”

Jacob

He's Here!!! Jacob Anthony Walker was born on 12-12-07 at 8:38am. We were finally able to come home yesterday. Jacob was kept in the hospital an extra day due to an obstruction in his nasal cavity. (Long story...) Anyway we will have to see the ENT specialist off and on until the scab in his nose doesn't block the nasal airway. He is a great baby and Koby and Brendon LOVE him!!!

Koby's Birthday Weekend

On Wednesday the 5th Brendon and I took birthday snacks to Koby's school. Koby's birthday was Saturday. We decided to go to North Platte Friday after school because of the weather. We didn't want to be stuck a couple hours away from the hospital if the baby decided to come. We stayed in a cabin at my aunt's place which was great. I had big plans for Saturday...going bowling, maybe swimming at the recreation center in NP. Well, Koby ended up not feeling well so we just hung around the cabin all day. That evening Koby was feeling better so we went to my aunt's house for supper and played with my cousin's kids. We came home Sunday morning. I told Tony that the weekend was probably the last time we would do anything like that as a family of four!!!

Another Baby Update

I had a check up this morning and everything looks good again. :) We will be staying at my mom and dad's house until Thanksgiving evening or the next morning. This way I can be on bed rest for a while longer. I'm feeling good and the baby is VERY active!

This Baby Wants Out!

We were back in the hospital Saturday night with more contractions. They got them to stop again, but if the contractions start up again it sounds like we might deliver the baby. I guess we'll cross that bridge when we get there. Please pray for wisdom for the drs and me, no incisional pain, healty baby & GOD'S WILL!!

THANKS TO ALL!! :):)

Baby Prayer Requests

Well, yesterday we were back in the hospital with contractions. The dr thought at one point we were going to deliver the baby, but they got the contractions to stop! Praise God!! Anyway, I got the muscle relaxer shot again and then we had to do two steroids shots to help get the baby's lungs ready just incase we do deliver a little early.

Prayer Requests:
Wisdom for me on decision making...whether/when to go or not etc

Wisdom for the Drs

No More Contractions

No tenderness by my incision

Healthy Baby

God's Will

Love,
Mary Jo

A Day Visiting Friends

The boys and I went to Wauneta so my friend, Renee, could take some pregnancy picts. Later Sara and Tiffany came out to visit. I sure miss them all! I can't wait to see the picts Renee took! :)

Mom's Little Helper!

Brendon loves to help anyone. Here he's sweeping the garage and vacuuming his room. One day I laid down to rest for a while and he cleaned the inside of the refrigerator!!!
