So after not blogging for over a year, I have decided to jump back onto the blog wagon. So a lot has happened in the last year. Here's a little summary:
- I finished my school and graduated from BYU-Idaho with my BSN
- Ben graduated from The U of C with him MBA.
- We are no longer a family of 6 we are now a family of 7! We welcomed London Jeannie Mary Hughes into our family on March 13 2011, weighing a whopping 5 lbs 13oz. It has been quite the adventure since she has come along. She is now almost 5 months old and is tipping the scales at 8lbs 7 oz as of yesterdays weight. She has spent a total of 3 1/2 weeks in the Alberta Childrens Hospital having a sorts of tests run to try to figure out why she is not growing. We have our share of specialists (Genetics, GI, Endocrine, Metabolics and Immunology). They have taken a TON of blood from her little tiny body, she's had numerous procedures done, MRI, abdominal ultrasound, rectal biopsy, upper GI, barium Enema, Chest X-ray, EKG and LP. Still no firm answers. The closest thing to an answer that we have been able to get is that she may have what they call, Russell-Silver Syndrome. Its a form of primordial dwarfism. London has brought such a special spirit into our home. Her smile lights up a room. Whatever challenges she had been given I know that she will make the best of it. She reminds me so much of my grandma Lock. She was a fighter, and London is too.
- Not only are we a family of 7 now, we now have my parents living in our basement. Oh the stories my children will have to tell when they grow up. I'm sure of it. It has been so nice having them here. Extra hands!
- Our oldest, Bailee, was baptized. It was a wonderful weekend. Her cousins from Idaho surprised her for the weekend! She had so many family and friends there to support her. London was also blessed the next day. We call it our weekend of white.
