Lila Jane

Sweet Lila Jane made her debut into the world on September 12....2 weeks early. I started having contractions on the 11th and went to the hospital but they sent me home saying that they were cause by dehydration. Which was not strange at all due to the fact that I was pregnant during the hottest summer on RECORD. ;) I was still having them the next morning so I called the doctor again and he wanted to meet me at labor and delivery. So we called everyone, got Maggie situated and headed back to the hospital. Everything happened so fast after we got there. They prepped me for surgery and Danny as well and Lila Jane was born at 3:56 and was 8lb 2 oz and was 20 inches long. She had a little trouble breathing at first and had to be in the nursery for the first 24 hours which was so tough. Seeing your sweet baby for the first time hooked up to monitors when you were not expecting it is not fun. We were thrilled when she was able to be with us in our room.
Maggie has been such a wonderful big sister. She had a hard time at first because one minute she was playing with mommy and the next her sister was here. But after we came home from the hosptial and she was able to back on her routine she was great. She is such a helper to me and has done better during the day when it is just the 3 of us than I could have ever hoped for. I really am so proud of her. Like her sister, Lila Jane was diagnosed with hip dysplacia when she as 3 weeks old and is wearing a harness for three months. Not at all what we had wanted but it is fixable and she has adjusted pretty well. We are loving being a family of four and feel so blessed that God chose us to be parents to Maggie and Lila Jane.

Coming soon...

We are thrilled to announce that Lila Jane Ketner will be joining our family in September. Thankfully this pregnancy has been really easy so far and we cannot wait to hold this precious girl in our arms. God is so good!

Where does time go? Blogging has been on my to-do list for quite some time yet it seems to be the one thing that never gets done! Since my last post, we have celebrated Maggie's 3rd birthday, Easter and Mother's Day. As always, we celebrated all of these special days with great friends and family.

Snow 2011

We truly had a great week when we were snowed in. Lots of good food, fires, playing in the snow, jammies all day and just good ole family bonding. Enjoy some pics!

long time no post

Wow! Time has definitely gotten away from me! Hard to believe that 2 months have passed since the blog has been updated! I guess the holidays followed by a month of sicknesses will do that! Where do begin? We did so many fun things over Christmas...from seeing the Fantasy of Lights to decorating Chrismas cookies to celebrating Danny and his mom's birthday to seeing TONS of family to (most importantly) celebrating Jesus' birthday it was a blast! This was the first year that Maggie "got" Chiristmas. She loved singing Christmas carols, telling the story of Jesus' birth, getting excited about Santa and getting what she asked for. We are so truly blessed beyond words! After Christmas, Maggie got the croup which was followed by a virus that came with 104 degree fever (which was by far the scariest night of our parenting to date) then Danny and I got a horrible sinus infection which followed with Maggie getting strep. Whew! It was exhausting but we are all healthy now and for that I am so thankful. So enjoy some (or a lot) of pictures from the holidays...and one of my promises to myself for 2011 is to blog more often!
