I put this up for the great grandparents more than anything. She isn't doing anything, but laying there obviously, but I thought it might be more or a real experience if there was a video. I also took this video for poor Koen, who is so confused about why he can't see Havyn, but she's out of my mommy's tummy. He broke down, and cried when my mom and I left to see Havyn today because he wanted to go so badly. They said that once they can get some of the tubes, and equipment off of her we will be able to take her to the window to let the boys see her. As of now we can't even hold her. She is still about the same other than her right lung is not filling up with air like it should. The left lung was the problem before and still has the tube in it because of the problem with the right lung. They had to put her back on c pap, which is the thing that is on her nose, instead of a regular oxygen mask to try to resolve the problem in the right lung. As for what they do for it, we aren't really sure, other than the Dr. said that a lot of times these resolve on their own, it just takes time. They took a second x ray after putting her back on the c pap, and the lung looked a little bit better, so we hope this does the trick. Once they get the respiratory stuff under control they will start really slowly trying to feed feed her through a tube that goes down through her nose to her stomach. For now, they are giving her what she needs from an IV. I never knew they could give fats and things this way, but thank heavens they can.

Havyn Update

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.

Moving From Flowers to Ribbons

Here are some more of my creations for Havyn's headbands, and hair later on.

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.
