Our Three Cute Girls

Our sweet girls (at least at this moment LOL!) They love there new sister. Even though Gracie has had a hard time adjusting things are getting better. They always want to hold her and they sing to her when they do. Kayla even rocks her. They are so cute and such good big sisters.

Final Test

Paisley had another test today and good news... she is done with the lights! Her levels dropped even more and that was being out of the lights for three days. I am so happy that she did better then the doctor thought she would. Thank goodness for the gospel and for being able to have priesthood blessings.

New Paisley Update

We went and had her test done yesterday and her number dropped, YEAH! So we get to take her out of the billi lights. Then on Wed. she will be tested again to see if she is still doing good being out of the lights. So hopefully she will be done with them. We will find out then.

Paisley Update

Well Paisley has been in the billi lights since we have been home. The day after we got home she had another test and her number went up two points but the doctor was not to concerned yet. We did however get a different bed so that she would have more lights on her. So now she had lights on top and bottom in this bed instead of the other bed the lights were only on the bottom. She will be tested again tomorrow. If her numbers are good enough then hopefully she will be out of the lights if not then she continues to be in them and as of right now will get tested again on Wed. and the hope is to be out of the lights for sure by the end of next week. The doctor said the because of the coombs positive it makes things so unpredictable. We can't wait until she can be out and really be with our family. Soon we will be able to hold her more, take her outside with us, just basically be around us as a family.

Our Precious Paisley

Welcome to our newest little girl PAISLEY WILCOX
Born : Aug. 16 2009
Time: 8:41 am
Weight: 6 lbs. 12.2 oz
Length: 18 1/2 inches

I started having contractions at 2:30 in the monning. After I was positive (since I have never gone into labor by myself) I was in labor I woke up Matt so we could head to the hospital. After we got to the hospital and they confirmed I was in labor they got ready for my c-section (which was schedualed for the 19th). Having an emergency c-section verses a planned one was way different. It was alot better this time around. And then she was here.
Our first child with blond hair. She is also our smallest.

OUR THREE BEAUTIFUL GIRLS!

Her first night we found out that she had coombs positive (which is that her blood and my blood mixed together and since they are different types caused her to have severe jaundice.) So for the rest of her stay she was under the billi lights. Her billi ruebin score after 12 hours was 13.9 and a normal score is 5 or 6. The doctor said that if they didnt catch it that first day she could of ended up the next day with a high enough score that it would have caused brain damage. As she was under the lights they tested her levels every eight hours and to the doctors surprize she stayed around the same score. He did not think the light was going to be enough for her. He gave it a shot and ot worked. Which means she did not have to go to Primary Childrens and did not have to go through all the other things to prevent brain damage and to get healthy. So today they tested her out to see if she could go home with lights and SUCCESS! The doctor said he can't believe how well she has done. So we have her on lights still and as long as her numbers dont go up she will be okay. She will have a heal prick everyday until the doctor feels she is okay.

We had lots of vistors in the hospital to share in the loy of our new arrival. Here are some pictures of Paisley with her grandparents.

Matt and his three girls. Me and my daughters. And all of us. None of these pictures are very good. Gracie was not to happy in any of them.

Going home from the hospital yeah! She looks so small in her carseat. After we got home we took a picture of the girls in their new shirts (again Gracie is not happy) they say "little sisters are the coolest". She is so beautiful and we are so glad that she has arrived to our family. We are blessed to have her in our lifes!

Baby update

Well my c-section was schedualed for the 21st but after my appointment today it got moved up to the 19th. My doctor really dosen't think I ill make it that long. She said I probably wouldn't make it through the weekend. So I guess by Wed. we will have the new addition to our family. Yeah!

The past two months

I have not updated our blog since the beginning of June so I have alot of pictures. Alot has gone on. We had Gracies birthday party, went camping, went to Kaylas year end party for dance, had cake on Gracies birthday, celebrated the 4th of July including watching Kayla in the parade, went to Raging Waters for Kaylas dance performance, and went to Idaho for a family reunion. We have been pretty busy including getting ready for the new addition to our family, she will be joining us on the 21st and we are looking forward to it. I am running arounf making sure we have everything ready and I feel like I am running out of time. I am almost done with the necessary stuff, thank goodness!



Gracies Brithday party. It was Care Bears of coarse. It all turned out really good. I had to bake the cake four different times then it finally came out right. I decorated the Cheer Bear, this was the first Care Bear that Gracie got, for her birthday last. year. She feel in love with Care bears. This year she got lots of fun presents including four new care bears, a new swing, and a tricycle. We had a rainbow pinate that was fun for the kids to hit. It was all fun.

Camping trip with the Zumwalts. We had alot of fun. We went fishing, played games, the kids had fun just playing in the dirt, and we enjoyed the wonderful, beautiful mountains.

Kaylas end year party and awards ceremony for dance. This is alot of fun we have a bbq and then Kayla gets a trophy and after that we get to go swimming.

Since Gracies birthday party wasent going to be until the end of the month we did a cake on her birthday . Kayla helped me decorate it so it had alot of sprinkles on it. I can't believe she is two years old. They sure grow up fast.






The 4th of July. We went to my parents house fora BBQ, games, and fireworks. We didnt get many pictures because our batteries were dying. But here is Matt making salsa, my dad just relaxing, and all of the Zumwalt grandkids.

The 4th of July parade. Kayla gets to ride on a float for dance. She loves doing this. Gracie enjoyed watching and collecting candy and other things from the floats.







Kaylas dance performance at Raging Waters. Because you have to pay to get in this performance is optional so only Kayla and one other girl was there. They did a good job together.

Jones family reunion in Idaho. The Jones is my grandmas family who I have never met before after many years they decided to have a family reunion. It was alot of fun for the short time we were there. we went swimming and decorated a box for a car. It was nice to meet some distant relatives that I did not know.
