My Story

Mikayla was born on 11/22/2007 via emergency ceserian section at 26 weeks gestation due to an abruption with heavy bleeding. When Mikayla was born she was 720 grams (1 pound 9 ounces) and was 13 inches long. She has since been on a ventilator with minimal oxygen support.

Hello to our family and friends.  Mikayla is now 19 months old!  She weighs about 17 pounds and is just about 30 inches tall.  She is still tiny, I know but you wouldn't know it by her personality.  She is walking, running, tumbling, talking, singing, screaming...  she is quite the little copy cat now.  She tries to mimic what you say and do so now we have to be really careful at home.  The other day I said sh!$ and Mikayla echoed "sh!$".  It was very hard not to laugh at her.  This weekend we are going to try the toddler bed.  Mikayla still wakes up in the middle of the night so her pediatrician suggested a change.  She said Mikayla may sleep better in a big girl bed.  I am excited but sad.  My little baby is turning into a little girl.  A very beautiful little girl.  She has curly red hair and bright blue eyes.  She is going to break hearts.  Especially Daddy's.  She gets attention from strangers everywhere we go and Mikayla eat's it up.  She says "hi" to everybody and gets so excited when people come over to our house.

Mikayla's brothers are just as proud as ever.  They really are pea's in a pod.  They play with her, cuddle with her, watch tv with her, swing her, walk her... it is so much fun to sit back and watch. 

Take a look at the photo gallery.  I have added quite a few new photo's.
