For those of our blog friends that haven't heard...Kaelyn is soon to be a BIG SISTER!! (We haven't been able to find a "big sister" shirt in 6-9 months though...go figure) We will be having another little girl around the end of September, beginning of October! We are all super excited to add to our little family!

In other news, Kaelyn's hair finally fits into a pony tail! Very monumental :)

Just in time...

We made it HOME to celebrate Kaelyn's second birthday! They discharged her around noon yesterday and she has been one very happy little girl! And we have been two very happy parents. Those last couple days were really hard because she was doing so well, and we had to keep insisting that they send us home. We understand that they want to be cautious, but we understand that we are her parents and know when our girl is well and what we can handle at home. She is doing great and loving life. She got to come home and take a bath in the BIG tub and splash around all she wanted, she got to wear a new birthday outfit and jump in her beloved jumper, which she smiled the entire time. She even got to ride her new pink rocking pony and blow out the candles on her birthday ice cream. Okay, so dad had to help her with that before she grabbed the open flame. It was a great day and we are oh so happy to be home and healthy! Bring on SUMMER!

Kaelyn and Grandma LaJean. Grandma and Grandpa gave her the pink guitar in the back ground. It is signed by the one and only George Strait! It was auctioned off to support Primary Children's Hospital. Kaelyn is one lucky girl!

Her other Grandma and Grandpa gave her this little rocking pony (Cotton Candy-Named by Jeana).

This was definitely a "Pink Cowgirl" birthday for her.

"Cotton Candy" is very cuddly, just like Kaelyn. They make a great pair.

She'll have to grow into the hat :)

Got the boot

Well we finally got kicked out of the ICU, thank goodness! Now she is on the infant unit, and sadly has a roommate. Not sure how that's going to go, haven't had to bunk up on the floor before. Lets hope that it's the extra motivation she needs to speed up this recovery and get home where she belongs. She is starting to act more and more like herself, which is good to see, it just breaks my heart to see her so miserable and sad. She was giving out kisses like they were going out of style today, something she hasn't done for weeks, since she got sick. I'm really praying that she is home for her birthday on Monday, the hospital is no place to celebrate such a special day ;)

Giving kisses to Mr. Froggy. He's been sick and in the hospital too, so he and Kaelyn can really relate.

All clean after her sponge bath. We finally got to update her hair style,

she was sporting the same one from like 3 weeks ago.

Still hanging out

Well after a day or two on the floor, they had to move Kaelyn to the ICU so that she could go on high flow oxygen. She kept getting a little worse each day, but has stayed about the same the last couple days, so we are just waiting for her little body to kick this dang virus out on the curb. It's pretty sad to see our happy little girl so miserable, and just not her playful self at all. Thanks for all the prayers and concern.

This is how I left her tonight, sleeping in the Chinese splits...that girl.
