8 Weeks Pregnant

The Update on Our Family

Hello All! I just wanted to give you some updates on what has been going on in our lives for the past couple of weeks. Whether it be updates on Rilee, The baby and our Family. As you know on Sep. 13. 2009 I found out I was pregnant. I am now 8 weeks pregnant the baby is about the size of a lima bean (man I don't even like those things haha) there are so many different things that are going on with the baby at this point, yelids to cover their blossoming eyes. While the arms and legs are also lengthening, the fingers and toes are likely to still be webbed it is so weird to think that this little thing grows up to be as big as Rilee.

Updates on Rilee:

Rilee has had a tough couple of weeks, She had her first pediatircian's appointment in Arkansas on the 24th of September and he said that she would need physical therapy and speech therapy. And then on Sunday October 10, 2009 she was admitted to Mercy Medical Center-Rogers for her pnemonia, strep throat, and a urinary tract infection she was a mess. She had about 7 doctors hold her down to put IV's in her little arm because she had a fever that ran about 108 degrees. We also took Rilee to the Ear, Nose and throat doctor on the 15th of October because Larry and I always thought that something was wrong with her hearing and we were right! She has about a 60-75% of hearing loss and we have to go to Little Rock to the Children's Hospital to see whether or not we need to get a surgery to correct her hearing loss or if we need to fit her for hearing aids. Please pray that she is going to be okay.

Updates on Larry and I:

Larry and I are doing well we are surviving day by day in a world that just isn't good. I have a wonderful Job that I love working for Chick-Fil-A I have been there almost 6 months and I am getting more and more confident in my work there. They seem to really like me and I love to work there as well. I will be getting my 6 month raise here in November and I will also be getting a pay raise for finishing up the last 6 tests I have.

We have lived here in Arkansas for almost 8 months and we LOVE it! We both found great friends, a great church, and a wonderful daycare that Rilee loves to go to. We moved into our own place in August 15, 2009 and it just the cutest thing we ever lived in. It is a 900 sq ft. apartment with 2 bd 1 bath and only 445.00 a month where else in the country can you get rent for that cheap we couldn't believe it! Well hope you have a wonderful day and God Bless
