Hello and welcome again to the new blog.  We had a great vacation last week.  Our friends from St. Louis came down and we traveled all over Florida for the week.  We were able to see the Cardinals play twice at their spring training field in Jupiter Florida, and then spent the weekend with Leslie and Joel in Orlando.  It was a great week, and I think we all needed to get back home just to rest!  Elise is holding steady with her eating and medicines, and progressing in her speech and occupational therapy.  I'm anxious to get the echo done in April to make sure her pressures are still ok off the Viagra.  Her energy level seems to be doing really well, so that is a good sign.  I'm entering my 10th week of pregnancy, and already showing!  The nausea and fatigue are still a daily battle, but I know they won't be around much longer.  My mom comes at the end of this week, and we are really excited to see her.  I'll post again in two weeks!  Love you all, Kristin

Welcome to our new blog

Well here's what we figured would work the best.  With the change in our family, yes we are pregnant, we thought it would just be best to start a new blog.  I will continue to post about Elise and her progress, but now include updates on the new bun in  the oven.  Our due date is October 18th!  And I plan on not finding out the sex until it arrives! Elise continues to do well on her decreasing dose of Viagra and only has one more week before she is completely off the medicine, leaving her only on Norvasc twice a day.  We will schedule another heart echo in April to check her pressures off the Viagra.  Her energy level seems to be the same off the medicine so we are hopeful that everything will be fine.  Other than that we have been busy being pregnant.  And what I mean is telling family and friends, being tired and nauseated, and day dreaming of having a healthy infant that we can bring home.  It scares the daylights out of me thinking about something going wrong again, but I just don't focus on that cause it doesn't do any good.  I'll post again in two weeks.  I hope you all are able to transition to this new blog o.k.  Love you all, Kristin.
