Kingwood Trip #2

Kailey and I just spent a few days in Kingwood, again! Casey was supposed to be gone all week on a mission trip to Austin, so I planned on Kailey and I going down to Kingwood. We had a few days to relax down there, again. We went swimming and just hung around the house mostly. Kailey has not been in the best mood this week. This could have something to do with the fact that her right upper gum is extremely swollen, which means a tooth is probably going to bust through at any second!Yesterday we had the opportunity to visit with some of my very good friends! I took a few pics of Kailey having fun at my friend Jenn's parent's house in Kingwood! She got to play with her friends Meadow, Saige, and Zoey! Here are some pictures of the day, and a video of Kailey swinging on the swingset!

I Can't Help It!

I know that Caden is not my baby, but he is my nephew and I think he is adorable! So I can't help but to post these pics. His Aunt Sarah got him those cute socks!

This is Casey's sister (Kenya) and her husband (David) with Caden.

Caden David Soto

Well here are the first pics of our nephew!! We are so excited that he is here! The hospital where he was born is not busy today (thankfully!) so Kenya and David are able to have their own room with Caden tonight at the hospital! Things have been going really well so far. Please continue praying for the adoption to go as planned. The birth mother will be signing the papers on Sunday!

The Waiting Game

***Update #2*** Caden David Soto is here! He arrived a little after 5:00! He weighs 8 pounds 6 ounces and is 20 inches long. The reason he was in distress is because the cord was wrapped around his leg! I don't know too much besides that, but will post more when I get more! :)

***Update*** I just got a call at around 4:15 that the baby is in distress and they are about to do a C-section. Please pray for that and the recovery time on that. They were hoping they wouldn't have to do a section, because now the birth mother will have to wait longer to sign the baby over to them. So please just pray for Kenya and David to keep their faith in God, that everything will work out!****

Well we are just in the waiting pattern now! The birth mother was induced at 5:00 this morning and she hasn't progressed much. As of about 12:00 she was 60 percent efaced and at 4 cm. Since then, it has stayed about the same. So we are just waiting around for that phone call! Hopefully soon! :) I'll update when I know something!

Adoption

We have some exciting things happening in our family this weekend! Tommorow my sister-in-law (Casey's sister) and brother-in-law are anticipating the birth of the baby they are adopting. The mom is being induced at 5:00am. Please pray for the birth to go smoothly! Also please pray for the birth mother and her family to be content with giving the baby away. This is going to be a very hard thing for her to do, and it is also going to be hard for Kenya and David to balance being happy for their new baby and being compassionate to the birth mother. So if you get a chance, please pray for them. They have wanted a baby for a long time, and it is almost here! I will keep you updated tommorow! Thanks!

Poor Addie!

Today I had to take Addie to the vet to get her teeth cleaned. The main reason she had to go though, was because she had two of her baby teeth that have never fallen out, and were impacted in her gums. So the vet had to put her under anesthesia and pull them out. When the vet called me to say she was ready, she told me that one of her teeth had pretty much fallen apart in her gums. I felt soo bad! I mean it is not like Addie could tell me she has been hurting, but that really must have hurt! For the rest of the day she has just been out of it. This is pretty much from her pain meds, but it is so sad! She just stands up and stares at me. Poor baby!

Playing outside

Today Kailey was really fussy so we tried a few different options. We went swimming in our baby pool. This lasted until she began pulling up on the edge and grabbing dirt and grass! After a little while I decided it would be fun to bring some of Kailey's toys out onto the deck, so she could play. She has always loved being outside for some reason, so she really liked it. She is really getting good at crawling around and she especially likes pulling up. She pulled up on the patio furniture all by herself! She truly believes she can stand on her own. If she pulls up on you, she just tries to let go!Needless to say she truly needed a bath for the first time ever. She was so dirty! Here is a really cute video that Casey made of her this morning. She is getting so fast!
