Dec. 24th

We went to Cook's Children's hospital today so the cardiologist could check out Henley's heart. The doctor said she had a heart murmur and wanted to get it checked out. Her pulmonary valve is structured differently than others. Right now it is fine, but he wants to check it again at 2 months to make sure it hasn't progressed. Keep her in your prayers! Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!

Henley is here!

Henley Ryann Watkins arrived December 9, 2008 at 3:18 pm. She weighed 7lbs 8oz and was 19 in. long. We are so blessed and excited to have her here with us! Thanks for all of your thoughts and prayers! She does have a touch of jaundice, so please pray that it gets better quickly. She hated those lights! More pictures to come soon!

Henley Update

Well, I went to the doctor yesterday. They did a sonogram so we got to see her again! She is so cute! They said she weighs 7 lbs 3 oz right now-I hate to think what she would weigh in 3 weeks on my due date! We all knew she would be a chunky baby-look at her mom and dad! Everything was good, except my blood pressure, which was still a little elevated.
They changed the date next week to Wednesday. I will still go into the hospital on Tuesday afternoon and they will induce me early Wednesday morning. Cliff is on the countdown!
We just ask for your prayers next week! For all you teachers, I hope your last two weeks fly by!

Hello

I am giving this blogging thing a try. I hope when Henley arrives, I will have some idea of what I am doing! For those of you who don't know, I was due Dec. 23rd, but because I have a mild case of toxemia (pregnancy induced high blood pressure) I am on bed rest this week and they are going to induce next Tuesday, Dec. 9th.

Cliff is still working hard-the Stephenville Yellowjackets are still in the playoffs. It has been a good thing or he would probably be driving me insane! I also want to cheer for the Loboes! We miss you guys alot! Hope everyone is good!
