Havyn had a pretty rough night and morning. At about 4 am today she had some major breathing issues so the doctors took an X-ray and saw she had a bunch of air outside her lung on the left side that had pushed her left lung closed and had pushed her heart all the way onto the right side of her body. They put a breathing tube in her mouth and then they used a small syringe in her chest to remove the air.( The white patch in the photo is where the syringe was.) They kept getting more and more air so the decided to put in a chest tube with some suction to keep the air out. She also has some lines going in her cord/bellybutton that they use to monitor her blood pressure, her gas-blood level, and to give her lipids and such. You can also see a gray box thing that is giving her two different antibiotics as a precaution because of all the procedures she has had this morning.

Havyn Marie Teeter
Havyn is here and doing well. Mom is doing great and getting some rest. Havyn was born at 12:56 and weighed 5lbs and 7 ozs. She is in the NICU right now because she is having a hard time breathing. Her respiration's should be under 60 and her's were about 120 when she went in. She is doing much better now with the oxygen and tubes so we are hopeful she will get to leave the NICU sometime soon.

Havyn Is Coming Early
Today I went to my appointment, and was told that the fluid level is now under a 5, which is very dangerous, so they have decided to get Havyn here. She will be born tomorrow, Jan. 27th. Last week she weighed about 5 pounds 14 ounces. I am expecting her to weigh a little over 6 pounds, hopefully. This is a good thing since she will be born at 36 weeks 2 days. I am nervous about her lungs being ready at this point, but it's better for her to get here, and get healthy than stay in there. She has run out of room, making her have decreased movement. She's probably going to be so glad to stretch out when she gets here. I just pray that she is ok, and things go well. It seems like every c-section I have I get more nervous. It should be the opposite you would think. I am just so glad to have Tyrell there next to me. He reassured me that everything would be fine last time.

My New Hobby
Tyrell saw that I ordered some flower clips for Havyn and was like "hey you could make those". And now he has a flower clip making monster! Here are some I have done.

Kai's 1st Birthday
Our big man, Kai Ethan, turned 1 today! He really is a big man too! He is currently wearing 24 month clothing, walking, saying uh-oh, shaking his head no when someone tells him no-no, and attempting to say no-no as well as bye-bye. When I got out the Gerber Graduate Little Entree tonight for dinner instead of baby food his face lit up like you wouldn't believe. He had a great birthday with some family to help celebrate, and of course give him lots of good presents! His favorite seeming to be the cups my Grandma and Grandpa got for him, simple, but the best in his eyes! He is such a little joy to our family. He keeps us on our toes, and is the happiest little guy around, even when he's sick! We sure do love him, and I can't believe it has been a year! They grow so fast! He will be an awesome big brother to Havyn even if he doesn't seem to understand or really like her at first.
