Tinsley Reece Ferrell

Tinsley Reece is in April's (my sister n law) belly as I type this...  April is 32 weeks pregnant, well I type this cause she has had several problems and we are needing prayers. At 26 weeks April was at work and she start leaking fluid, she was in the hospital for the weekend then sent home on bed rest. Going to the dr two times a week one for ultrasound and other to see ob. After the hospital stay Tinsley was not growing like normal and they wanted to watch her more, so she now has two ultrasounds a week and seeing ob once. April now has inner intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) so at 3 weeks Tinsley should weigh around 4lbs and is only weighing 2lbs at the most. So other test have been not she we are not sure 100% if Tinsley has any other problems after birth but we do know we are looking at a hospital stay of 4 to 6 weeks. That is only with her size cause they are taking her in 2 weeks. April has lost almost all the fluid around the baby and also the baby is not getting the right amount of blood flow thru the cord and not enough oxygen. Her ob said right now Tinsley is better off on the inside than out but I am not sure... I am not a dr but I dont nothing to happen to this tiny miracle, April and my brother tried for 3 years to have a baby and fianlly after misscarriages and surgery to remove ovary she got pregnant with Tinsley... So we know she is a miracle baby and she will be a fighter she has already showed us how strong she is... So I am posting this cause we are needing prayers more now than ever... Please lord keep your hand on Tinsley... Here are two pictures I will get alot more once she is here but for now here is April at 32 weeks pregnant (as you can tell she is super small to be 32 weeks)

                                  And here is her tiny smocked dress I ordered her,

                                   it is a preemie and I am so hoping she comes

                                                     home in it :)

I will keep everyone updated!!!! Please please PRAY



Christmas 2010

Here is go and try and recap our Christmas 2010.....

We start off on the 23rd which is Nicks birthday.. We took the kids to his dads house so they could spend the night and we went out with some friends and family. Then we wake up Christmas eve morning and go to nicks dads house for his step moms family breakfast...... Then it is home for only a few hours then we went to my mom and step dads house with my brothers family..... then we were done for that day and then we have Chrsitmas morning just the 5 of us @ home... At lunch we went to my Uncle's house for lunch with my moms family then we went to Nicks dads for Christmas with them then right after that we had to go and have Christmas with the Parkers..... and yes I have to work Christmas night. Not a good time for me.

But I made it and slept the whole day after Christmas :) Here are some pictures of Chrsitmas around here

                                            from our gingerbread house

 This is how they spend most of the days

 I am pretty sure she is the cutest ever

My amazing three babies ready for church

So things are finally getting back to normal but not 100% cause Braxton is still out of school for a few more days... I am more than ready to get our normal back...... I hope everyone had a blessed Christmas and a Amazing New Years... We spent New Years at home, Nick and the boys played xbox and Brooke slept

and mommy worked :)

Ah I said I was going to post again with what we were going to be doing and here I am.... I think I am getting into a routine and praying that I keep it up ;)

Well, Saturday we had a super busy day... I get off work at 630am so I knew we had plans so I didn't even try and go to bed I just stayed up and by 8am we had to head out the our Lions Club for a pancake breakfast with Papa {Nicks Dad} and when we got there, the kids got a surprise not only was Papa eating breakfast with us so was Santa and his wife... They were there and the boys could not believe it... It was awesome seeing the look on both of the boys face. And Brooklyn on the other hand umm yeah not a fan of Santa... So after we ate the boys went over to tell Santa what they were wanting him to bring them and I told sissy to go over there since "her boys" (this is what she tells everyone and walks around saying where my boys :)\  but she start screaming she was not liking it at all, she was screaming no mommy I need my Papa... So I went over there with her and Nick came along too. So yes we got a family picture with Santa... Again this year... Oh the joys of being a mommy.... And while I was still holding her she still was not liking being anywhere near him.. So after the picture was taken yes she went running to her Papa.... I looked at the picture and even thou we had to get in the picture it turned out awesome .. And then it was time to go so we went to Nicks dads house cause the day before they killed a pig and were making sausage... Yes yes nasty but he sells it and makes alot of money off of it... And man it sure is good as well.... we did that for almost 3 hours then it was time for what the boys had been waiting for... THE CHRISTMAS PARADE!!!!!

So we went downtown and waiting for a few mins then it came and the kids had a blast and I was a happy mommy seeing them running after candy and waving at all the people.. Priceless... Then yes I am still going at 1pm with NO SLEEP... My brothers wife was having her baby shower.. This was the 3rd time we have tried to have her a shower the 2 times before didn't ever work out cause at 25 weeks pregnant she was leaking fluid so they out her int he hospital for 5 days and watched her and baby Tinsley very close and after that they said that where she was leaking from had stopped and closed its self back up which was awesome news so they sent her home on strict bed rest..... So she is 28 weeks pregnant and we are just waiting now... Any ways so we finally had her aby shower at her house since she was on bed rest and it went great for who all got to come and finally at 5pm the hubby and kids were able to come and pick me up... And needless to say this Mommy was so past sleepy... We came right home and I went nowhere but right into my bed.... Well, that how our weekend went... We had a blast and are loving the holidays!!!!!

And here we are with the big man and his wife

update

I dont have that much time cause I thought things with Traci were crazy... It didnt stop there, yesterday afternoon I got a call from my brother telling me that his wife which is 26 weeks pregnant her water had broke... So is it me and babies at 26 weeks or what... Well, I have not seen Anna since she was born and aww how I miss those tiny little hands... And her mommy I cant even tell you how I want to be there for her 24/7 I wish I could just stay with her all the time. But cant happen I have my babies to take care of too so trying to balance everything. Last night I was at hospital with sister n law and brother I am fixing to take a nap cause thru out all the madness I have been real sick and yesterday went to dr and I have broncitics (ms)
so I am not feeling good at all so naptime for mommy and Brooklyn... Boys with daddy at Papa's house. Also my brother has a little boy that is 5 years old so he has been with us and man 4 kids is rough. But keep praying Traci's bllod pressure is real high and that is making her not be able to meet her baby girl so keep praying for both mom and baby. Anna had a blood transfusion and done great after that. She is holding her down in the nicu but had such a long long road ahead.. But with all the prayers everything is going to work out in Gods perfect way....
So prayer request still for Traci and baby Anna and also my sister n law April and baby Tinsley

prayers needed

Baby Anna Jane McKee was born today at 26 weeks... She came into this world only weighing 1lb and 14ozs. She was needing a blood transfusion right after birth. Other than that they are just waiting to see how thing start to go. This is my best friends baby and I am trying to get this out and let the world know. We need all you prayer warriors out there on this little girl. I know the Lord has his hand on her and he knows what he has in store for this tiny child of his... I praise and thank him so tiny joy the blessed us with... So please pass this along and tell everyone you know please please....
PS as of now Anna is stable and so is mom (Traci)  is a real bad diabetic and she had high blood pressure, lots of fluid on her and it had no where to go so was going into her lungs and she was going into kidney failure.  So after a month in the hospital the dr knew it was best for mommy so baby Anna is here..
I am going to try and get some sleep after no sleep for going on 48 hrs.. Will keep this blog updated so please check back and please please PRAY!!!!!!!
