Great News.

We just heard from Dr. Nygarrd, that Liv's bilirubin has went down 10 points to 6. What a relief!! I am so glad. She does need to get checked when she is 4 months old, to make sure it is where it needs to be. Also more blood work when she is 6 months to see if her blood is prematurely dying still. There are a few things the doc has told us it could be: Hereditary Spherocytosis or Gilbert syndrome. The best way to explain it, is to Google it... But very good news about the bilirubin.

Christmas Tree Adventure

The boys had so much fun searching for the perfect Christmas tree. This year we went to Jacob's Lake. It was so beautiful. Trees everywhere. Liv and I stay in the truck. I don't want her to freeze!! I am not a fan of the cold, so I am glad that Liv and I get to hang out with the heater...

Here she is:

The moment we have all waited for:
Liv Adele Skinner
Born October 23 2009
At 3:22 AM
Weighing in at 6lbs 15 oz
Length of 18 1/2 inches
I can't believe she is so small. She fit into preemie diapers in the hospital. The outfit we had for her to go home in, it drown her and it was newborn size. She had a full head of black hair. I thought that was exciting, now I need to learn how to do hair and girly things:)
Linkin was thrilled when we brought her home. He had to hold her right away. Lucas was also very happy to have everybody back together. He spent just the right amount of time with his cousins that he missed me and dad.

Look at those super chucky cheeks. She gets that from me.

Liv has bad Jaundice. We have had her on bililights (pictured) for 3 days now, hopeing that her numbers come down. Everyday we have to go to the lab and get her bilirubin tested. That is where they stab her heel and collect a 1/2 ml of blood. Yeah EVERYDAY since she was born. Not fun for anyone. Other than the jaundice she is healthy and beautiful.





Happy Halloween...



Linkin and Lucas.. I had a blast painting Linkin's face. He was such a good sport even though I thought it might look silly, he loved it.. It turned out pretty good for a first time Vampire Mom.Lucas Iron Man, Linkin the Vampire, Chaiden is a bum and Brinleigh is a hippie. Our little gang. We have went trick or treating with these guys for 3 years. It is always so much fun. We go find the big candybars..
