We took her in to the dr. We had previously been to the dr. on Monday where Gracie was diagnosed with a double ear infection. Molly was looked at and diagnosed with Crupe. We were given suggestions on how to help her feel better. Thursday it tended to get worse and she started to cry with no sound. She started to eat less and less. Thursday night she wouldn't eat at all. We took her in again on Friday. She hadn't eaten all day and the night before. Dr. tried to get molly to drink some pedialite but she wouldn't. Dr. suggested that we take her to the hospital There was nothing else that Josh and I could do to help her. Luckily we were able to to go to Riverton Hospital instead of All the way to the Salt Lake City Primary Children's. Or so we thought. At Riverton they put an IV in her head and gave her fluids. Next we had a nasal canula for oxygen. Dr. also said that she was RSV Positive. I had been trying to get over a cold since Wednesday so Josh agreed to say with her at the hospital that night so that I could go home and try to sleep. My mom came and got gracie from my sisters house. At about one in the morning I get a call from Josh. He told me that they were going to transfer her to The Salt Lake City Primary Children's because Riverton couldn't handle the oxygen Molly needed. Saturday morning I went to the Primary Children's at Salt Lake. She was in the PICU. The same area that Ally died 5 years before. It was very nerve racking for me to go down the same hallway. There has been much remodeling done at Primary's but the PICU was exactly the same. Luckily we where on the oposit side of the PICU. But you can still see the room Ally died in from our room. Molly had been put on a B PAP. A machine with more oxygen flow than a C PAP. Later Saturday she was switched to the C PAP and remained on that throughout the day. Josh stayed at the hospital with her and I slept over at my parents. Sunday molly seemed to be more agitated. Her heart rate would go down and back up for some reason. Dr. were trying to figure out why, but didn't seem very concerned, Josh and I had discovered the Ronald McDonnell house that was a floor above us. They have about 5 rooms with double beds for parents to sleep over night. During the day from 2-5 they let you use those rooms to nap in. Sunday after lunch we went there and napped. Thinking that Molly was doing fine we turned off our phones. After our nap we realized that the hospital had called both of us. We rushed back to the PICU. I noticed I had a message on my phone and listened to it on our way to the PICU. Molly had to be intubated because she was working to hard to breath. We came to her room and I could hardly look at her. She looked exactly like Ally did. I was way freaked out. I was so sure that this wouldn't be a very long stay but I was very wrong. Today she seems to be doing better and hopefully will get the tube out of her throat tomorrow. I didn't want to ever come back to the PICU but I guess we had too. No news yet on how long we will be here. It all depend on how Molly does. <br />

'This valentine's we went to St. George for the weekend. We had planned on staying with my parents but had to change plans last minute because my sister (who doesn't talk to us) was coming down with my parents. So we had to stay with Josh's parents. It was great. Josh and I had to Valentine's day celebrations. One the day before and one on Valentine's day. Josh wanted to take me to a fancy restaurant. The only reservations he could get where on the night before at 8. We went to the Painted Pony. It was amazing. On Valentine's Day he took me shooting and i got to pick out my first gun. <div>
So much fun. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Molly has not been fun at all due to her stomach problems. We finally switched her to Soy formula and she is doing so much better. I thought it would be easy. Gracie was such and easy baby. Only Problem was she didn't gain weight ever. Molly on the other hand has been very fussy. I have now decided that I do not like the newborn faze. Molly is now 2 months and things are going much better. That plus the soy. Molly is now looking at people (all but me) and smiling. She is also starting to coo. <br />
<br />
It is so cute to see the relationship that Gracie and her have. Gracie loves her baby sister so much. Molly always looks at Gracie. Gracie has helped me feed her and she loves to snuggle her. She also laughs at her. She is very helpful with Molly. Things are going great. <br />
<br />
It is still hard being a single mom pretty much all of the time but Josh helps when he can. He is not much a baby person ether. I so wish that he would get up with Molly at night but its ok. Molly only gets up once or twice now so its not really bad. <br />
<br />
Brest feeding Molly was horrible. She 36 weeks and 6 days, borderline premature, so she has a really small mouth. She would latch on and then pull off the whole time feeding. I was getting frustrated and I was getting blisters from it. I decided to try for a whole month. Then it wasn't worth it. We started with Similac Supplement formula. That gave her terrible gas and spit ups. Then we tried Gerber Soothe. That gave her massive constipation. Then we tried the Costco brand (the cheapest). That just made her unhappy and never comfortable. I finally decided to try Soy. She has been doing great with Soy. It is really expensive but not having a fussy upset baby is worth it. Molly still has problems with constipation but we are giving her MaraLax. <br />
<br />
It has been frustrating. We have been to the Dr. every week since Molly was born. Crazy. She also got a cold at 3 weeks and had a hard time. First illnesses are the worst for babies. <br />
<br />
All in all things are going good. <br />
<br />
Josh is trying to become a case worker at the Prison. It is a little less pay but get holidays, and weekends off. Plus it is a day shift and you can pretty much make your schedule. Great for me but Josh isn't that excited. He would prefer graves but realizes that I need him at home. <br />
<br />
We will see what happens. <br />

I've been in pain pretty much the whole pregnancy. Cramping standing and sitting. The last couple of months the worst. November contractions so bad ended in the hospital. Turns out I was just very dehydrated. October I was diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes on Halloween. So very hard for me because I love food and the Holidays. 20 week ultrasound dr. concerned with a lot of fluid around her heart. EKG confirmed that nothing was wrong. The second weekend in December pre term labor. At the hospital for the weekend. Extremely stressful. Josh didn't know weather to take time off or go back to work. Friday I dilated from a 2 - 4 in an hour. Hospital thought that baby was coming. Contractions stopped and I was put on observation until Monday night. In fear of me not making it to the hospital in time to deliver, Dr. decided that I should stay with my Parents who lived 10 min away from the hospital instead of the 45 min drive from my home. I spent a week there with contractions on and off but not sever enough to go back to the hospital. I started doing Non Stress Tests 2 times a week. At the first one on the Tuesday after our hospital stay weekend we were able to talk to our doc. She said that I could return home. Not on bed rest but not do anything stressful. I wanted Molly to come so I didn't really take it easy. We went to the mall and many other places to pick some last things I needed. Wednesday night I took a bath and went to bed. For the last couple of months I had no control over my bladder and would most likely not make it to the bathroom in time at night. I even started wearing depends because of how bad it was. Thursday morning at about 4 am I started wetting the bed. This was strange to me because I had not ever wet the bed during this pregnancy. Even with the bladder problems. I usually would get up out of bed, start peeing, and could not stop after standing up. I went to the bathroom to clean up. I noticed that the fluid was not yellow. I had know idea what water braking fluid color looked like. I have never seen the fluid and color it was. I was always at the hospital lying down on the bed when my water broke. I thought the water was going to be <br />

dirty looking. I got my phone and looked up what water braking water looks like and smells. I found out that it is clear and smells like bleach. I thought it was supposed to be bloody and dark. After reading this I rechecked. Fluid was clear and smelled like bleach. I woke Josh and said that I thought my water broke. I was still not sure. I decided to wait but when I started getting painful contractions, I said we need to go in. We called my sister who lived in the next subdivision over. We told her my water had broke and asked if she could come and be with Gracie. She headed right over and told me not to wait for her to get there just go. Which is what we did. Traffic was great and we were able to get to the hospital in 25 min instead of 45. Josh dropped me off at Labor and Delivery at 5:00 am. I had called before to let them know that I was coming. Nurse had to call someone to check me in. Super Slow. We got to a room and I immediately asked for an epidural. Nurse started to hook me up to the monitor. I asked her if it was necessary. Nurse said yes. I told her that I was in full blown labor. Nurse called for an assistant. First nurse checked me and I was dilated to a 6. Other nurse told me that she was going to give me and IV. I had been struggling and was in massive amounts of pain and screaming. I told the nurse that the baby was coming. Nurse looked under the sheet and she said,"There's a head!" Time of birth 5:14 am. Molly Faye Hensley December 18, 2014. 5 pounds 14 ounces 18 inches. 36.6 weeks. No IV, medication, Dr, Gowns, or Gloves. I don't know why when I tell people that I have fast labors they think I'm making it up? Recovery was fast. Only tore a little. She was born on Thursday and were there until Saturday afternoon. We are home. Problems now are Breast feeding, and baby weigh loss. Due to being a little premature, little Molly is having a hard time latching on. Her mouth is not big enough. Therefore it is painful for me. I developed a blister on my left breast and it has been very very painful. Also not sure if Molly is getting enough. We weighed Molly on Monday and she was 5 lb. 4 oz. We also weighed her this morning and she lost and ounce. I now need to supplement feed. It is hard to do because Molly usually falls asleep after breast feeding on one side and is extremely hard to wake up. I guess you can only do what you can do. Supper glad I got an electric pump today. I am hoping to boost up my milk supply. Oh and I'm extremely glad I made it to the hospital in time!Melanie Hensleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11671911824931539228noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1966423956848925430.post-10788884405449005292015-01-21T09:59:00.000-08:002015-01-21T09:59:20.066-08:00My Pre term LaborAt 35 weeks pregnant, second week of December, I started having very painful contractions. That night I had gone to the ward Christmas party. I had told myself before hand that I was not going to dance. But you know me. I love to dance and did many of the line dances played. Bad Idea. Of corse Josh was at work and it was in the middle of the night. I called my sister who lives 2 min. away and told her that I needed to got to the hospital. She came and got me and drove me there. We called Josh. I got really nervous because I couldn't get a hold of him. Id call and be put on hold and disconnected. Finally I just told the people answering to have him call me asap. He did and we told him that we were headed to the hospital. I called my dad and asked him to come over and watch Gracie. you know the contractions are bad when you can't talk threw them. My sister dropped me off. We had also called labor and delivery to let them know i was coming. I got checked in. I was checked (dilated to a 2) and then checked an hour later (dilated to a 4). They told me later that was going to have the baby tonight. I had told Josh not to come until we knew more, but now told him to come. he got to the hospital 10 min. later. Speed demon. I received an IV and contractions started to get worse. Figuring Miss Molly would be making her grand entrance I asked for an epidermal. I got one and contractions seemed to calm down. Because I was only 35 weeks, I was also given a medication to help stop the labor. Well the labor stopped. I would have spouts of contractions but not regular and together. They put me up and in recovery and monitored me for 3 days. No baby. I was annoyed. If I was in the hospital there should be a baby. I know that I was early but I had got my hopes up. Dr. suggested that maybe I should stay at my parents for a week. They lived 10 min. away instead of me being 45 min away. I was scheduled for 2 NST(non stress tests) a week. Of course I wasted to talk to my Dr. but she was out of town during my hospital stay. I was told that she was going to be in labor and delivery when I came in for my first stress test. She requested that upstairs call her when I was there for my stress test. I did the NST and was totally fine. Contractions but not regular and far apart. We then talked to the Dr. She told me that she was surprised that I didn't have the baby yet and was very sure that I would before Christmas. She told me I could return home. So I did. I came home Monday on light duty but not bed rest. <br />

Josh's cousin trained her the week we were gone. We were going to start when we got back. This summer has been crazy. We have not had a whole week off with out some event. Josh's cousin saw that Gracie diapers were dry in the morning and started the training. Gracie gets constipated very easy. We tried to get Maralax in everything she drank. The week we came home Gracie hadn't pooped once. We gave her a suppository to help and it did. We had probably two accidence a week. Pretty good I think. Then came the 2 accidents a day. Not fun at all. I was taking it worse then she was. One Sunday night I started bawling. I felt like such a failure. I had switched taking my meds from morning to taking them in the evening because of some nausea issues. This Sunday happened to be the second Sunday since the switch. I called Josh and told him about it. The conversation felt a little one sided because he was ether sleeping or at work when the poop accidents happened. I began to realize that it was crazy that I was acting this way. On Monday we spoke to my OB and she said to take the nausea medication at night and take my other medication in the morning. I have been doing that and feel much better. Gracie's last accident was Thursday this week and daddy was home. He had a little talking to her and told her that if she kept it up we would start taking toys away. Apparently Josh knows how to tell her things. She pooped this morning in the potty. I can't be very excited to not let my self down, but I was way excited. Every time she poops in the potty I feel like I have trained her and am done. I don't think that is ever the case. She will probably regress when her baby sister Molly comes too. But for now I think she is doing very well. Hope I didn't jinks the whole thing.Melanie Hensleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11671911824931539228noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1966423956848925430.post-28499459015376046112014-09-02T09:01:00.000-07:002014-09-02T09:01:15.946-07:00Gracie Turns 3Sorry I totally forgot to post about Gracie's 3rd Birthday party. We had the party the day after her real birthday. July 19, 2014. This year for her birthday she wanted to go swimming. So we rented a conference room for an hour at the Lehi Legacy Center and went swimming after. It was very fun. Stressful to plan but fun in the end. We had family and friends come. Gracie's baby siting family came. My parents and both sisters came with there families. We had a friends family come that was in nursery with Gracie and a neighbor friend. Gracie had a blast.<div>

Everyone in my whole family but my dad and Josh said that it was a boy. All were wrong except dad and Josh. Hensley baby # 4 is a girl. I really really wanted a boy but like my mom said I guess we only have one recipe too. Ultrasound showed no CDH but did show abnormal amounts of fluid next to the heart. Dr. said it most likely is nothing and will go away with time. But they did want me to schedule a fetal eco. I called and scheduled one and they are not able to see me until the 8th of October. Most likely its nothing and we probably won't need a fetal eco. <br />
<br />
Josh and I have been fighting forever on a girls name. This is one of the reasons I wanted a boy. We both decided that we should name a girl after Josh's Grandmother Mary Anne Carpenter. Josh however did not like the name Mary Anne or any version of it. He did like the name Marian and wanted to use that name. I hated it but he was very sure that was what we would name her. <br />
<br />
So Josh came up with a game that most likely would turn out the way he wanted it. He told me to write 2 of our favorite names. Mine were Molly and Marin. Josh picked Marian and Annie. we put the names in a hat and each drew 2 names. I drew Molly and Annie, and Josh drew Molly and Marin.<br />
he wasn't every happy with the outcome so he asked if we could draw again. I just laughed and said sure. I knew that he didn't like the outcome. We each drew again and came out with Molly again. Josh didn't mind the name but it wasn't his favorite. We decided to go with it because we had picked it 3 times out of a hat. <br />
<br />
So Hensley baby #4 girl will be named Molly Faye Hensley.<br />
<br />
I love the name. <br />

It was a big deal because we had been band from the house. We left on the 8th as soon as Josh got off work in the morning. We had packed for Ireland. Our flights were from the Las Vegas Airport. Thursday night my mom got us tickets to The Little Mermaid at Toucan. I loved it. It was so much fun. Lots of swimming and fun. <br />
<br />
Saturday we booked a shuttle to take us to the Last Vegas Airport. Our flight was at 10 am. We flew to Philadelphia and then to Dublin. Our flight to Philadelphia was good all but the Paramedics having to help a passenger before we could exit. The flight to Dublin was not. It was an overnight flight and the people in back of us wouldn't let us put our seats back. Not a very fun 6 hour flight.<br />
<br />
Sunday we got a bus to take us to the hotel. Our hotel was gorgeous. Looked like an old caste. We hug out Sunday with the US people that had arrived the day before.<br />
<br />
Monday we walked around Dublin. I loved it. We went to and around lots of churches, saw many old mediaeval sights. We took a hop on and hop off bus and learned all sorts about Dublin Ireland. We ate and our first pub. . Just a day in the city. Monday night we had the pizza party. Everything in Ireland is so much better that the US. Drinks and food. We met tons of old friends from other CDH conferences and lots and lots of people from Ireland and the UK. We ate pizza and told our stories of CDH.<br />
<br />
Tuesday was awareness day. Dawn the President talked about ways to bring awareness to our Cherubs charity. We talked about fundraising and helping with costs of things. We are the Largest CDH charity in the world. I think some of the Irish people were a little taken back. Our Hop on Hop Off bus ticket was good for two days so back to Dublin. We didn't go on the bus just walked for ever to see the sites.<br />
<br />
Wednesday was research day. We had two researchers from the Dreams CDH study and the MAS General Hospital CDH study. Doctor Kays came and told about his CDH clinic in Florida. He the best survival rate of CDH babies in the world. He told all about it techniques and ways to help babies with CDH survive. The UK people were amazed. They had no idea that there were so many treatment options for there children. They had no idea about ECMO and lots of other things. There were tons and tons of Questions for Doctor Kays. After the meeting Josh, Brandon, Tara. Dr. Kays, his wife, Dawn and Laura went to the Gunnies Beer Factory. One of the beers only made in Ireland.<br />
<br />
Thursday was round table. One table for non survivor Cherubs and one for survivor Cherubs. After Josh Tara and I went to the book of Kels. A book from 800 AD that is in color. After we went the the Jameson Whisky Factory. Josh had a sip of a whisky cocktail. This tour was much better that the Gunnies Factory. Much more historical. Thursday night was the Disco dance. So much fun. Our last day to see everyone. Josh danced with a Cherub named Charley. She is 4 and loss the use of her legs with a surgery. She loved Josh and wanted to talk to him the whole conference. After the dance Josh got emotional and he and I went outside for some air. We were both sad that we were not able to dance with our Cherubs.<br />
<br />
Friday was our tour bus to Giants Cozway. I didn't have time to eat breakfast because we left to early. The first stop was a bathroom stop at a gas station. I got something to eat in the bus. I ate my breakfast and threw it right back up. I was nauseous the whole bus ride. We stopped for lunch I took about 5 bites and promptly threw it up again. All I could drink was water. One of the stops was the rope bridge. I thought I could make it. The path was down a stone maid stair case. I did cross the bridge but had a really hard time walking back up the stone steps. I made it finally. last stop was Giants Cozway. This was much better because I could take the bus down and back. It was so beautiful. I didn't really walk around I just sat and admired the scenery. Back on the bus to home. I was finally able to keep a salad down with a ginger ail.<br />
<br />
Saturday we had another bus tour for Cliffs of Moar. I told Josh I couldn't do another day like Giants Cozway again. I was going to just send him by himself. He asked me if I would be ok with out him. I told him that I would really like him to stay with me. He asked me if I knew the name of our hotel. I didn't know. He then said that he would stay with me. We had a lovely time shopping the whole day. We had to go to O'Connals for there Shepard's pie. Josh wasn't leaving until he had some. I had some very good food but felt nauseous the whole time and almost threw up.<br />
<br />
Sunday was flights home. Made sure that I had barf bags on each plane ride, It was much longer getting home than getting there. We flew from Dublin to North Carolina and for North Carolina to Las Vegas. The flight from Dublin was a night mare. We had an Irish family play musical chairs the whole flight.<br />
Las Vegas and shuttle and shuttle to my in laws. We stayed monday and left Tuesday for home.<br />

I was only 15 weeks but they wanted to keep track and be on top of things if this nightmare again would happen. I am Thrilled to say that this baby has no sign of CDH as for now. If there is a CDH problem it will be very miner and not a problem. Still to early to see the sex. Next appointment is on August 25. At this appointment I will be 20 weeks and they will for sure be able to tell the sex. Here are some ultra sound pictures.<br />

My aunt Kathy planned a family reunion at Bear Lake. My aunt Kathy and Uncle Norm have a barn and lots of land there. <br />
<br />
We left Friday morning very early. We arrived at lunch time and had lunch and raspberry shakes.(a must in Bear Lake) After lunch we went and found Norm and Kathy's barn. It was not much but still cool. The barn was like a garage with an upstairs that had a kitchen and 2 bunk beds. No Bathrooms though but they had a toilet with an incinerator. <br />
<br />
After the barn sighting we went to the cabins my aunt had rented for us. Where was 10 one room one bathroom cabins. My aunt had rented all of them out for the weekend. After unloading all out stuff, we launched our boat at North Beach. It wasn't a really great day for boating. Very cloudy and windy. Gracie was excited until we hit a wave and it splashed on her. This I think was her first time on our parents boat. We drove for a little while and then started to look a shore to find the spot where everyone was at on the beach. It took a long time but we finally found it. We beached the boat and eventually people in the family showed up. We spent most of the day on the beach freezing in the wind. Me thinking that it was going to be hot did not bring Gracie and I a jacket. So dumb. I also didn't bring any pants for us. Just to let you know that it does get pretty cold at night there. Luckily my parents were nice enough to go to town and get us sweat shirts. They were gone a long time trying to find them. <br />
<br />
While they were out and about, Gracie and I stayed at the beach. It was so fun chatting with my aunts, uncles, and cousins. <br />
<br />
At dinner time we all returned to the cabins and had a wonderful catered dinner by my aunt Kathy. Afterwards a family picture and of corse S'mores. <br />
<br />
When it got really dark we all went to the field next to the barn for a firework show. First was the scary lighting or the fire. Norm thought it was a good idea to dump some gas on the logs. Needless to say there was a big whoosh and the fire got pretty close to us. <br />
<br />
Fireworks were a little scary too. Most of them were lit 5- 10 feet away from us. There was one time that one of the aerial fireworks fell over and launched right at the audience. It was very thrilling and entertaining. I did burn a hole in the blanket my dad gave me. <br />
<br />
After fireworks was bed. Kathy had not planned on some of the people who came so Gracie and I shared a cabin with my parents. It was fine until about 2 in the morning. Gracie has a tendency to move a lot when she sleeps. Unfortunately I was the one sleeping with her. There were a lot of kicks and slaps that night. Not only was I being hit and kicked, both my parents were snoring. I got the idea that if there was no one in the cabin we were going to stay in, I would commandeer it for the night. Luckily I was right and was able to sleep much better. <br />
<br />
Morning came and the Holt family was in charge of breakfast. It was delouses! After breakfast back to the beach for more fun. One of the things I like about Bear Lake is that you can drive on the beach to the water. We set up a canopy and lots and lots of sun umbrellas. We got not the boat with one of my cousins families and aunt Kathy. We went tubing. I Like watching people tube much more than doing it. <br />
<br />
Gracie got scared when the boat turned. We had tried to leave her with my mom for a nap that morning. My mom had to prepare a gospel doctrine class for sunday. My dad and I left them at the cabins and took my cousins family out tubing. Well our plan of her getting a nap did not work. She was laying down on the bed but never went to sleep. Needless to say she was very grumpy.<br />
<br />
After picking my mom and Gracie up we ate lunch. After lunch more tubing. We took my cousin and her husband next. We then found another boat with family in it and switched people. We exchanged our cousins on the boar for another cousin of mine and his wife and my single cousin who just returned from his mission. More tubing.<br />
<br />
Gracie fell asleep during the first cousins run. She woke up at the exchange. Gracie had not been drinking very much that day and we very hot. We then decided to take a swim in the lake. She really liked it. I loved the water. So blue and clear. What a beautiful lake. <br />
<br />
Back to the beach for more visiting. Gracie had a great time building sand castles with grandma. <br />
<br />
I was so thankful for the porter potty my uncle had at the edge of his field. We became very close friends. I also was grateful for the E$ wheelers that my uncle had. Yes the porter potty was at the edge of the field but it still wasn't to close. <br />
<br />
After chatting everyone packed up and left. Some stayed over until Sunday, but most went home. We had to leave because I had to lead the music in Relief Society in the early morning and my mom had to teach gospel doctrine too. <br />
<br />
We packed everything up, loaded the boat, and started home. <br />
<br />
I had so much fun. I hope the we do this every year. Everyone had a blast so I think it will be that way. So good to see all my mom's side. Thanks to everyone for contributing. Thanks also to my mom and dad for taking us. <br />
<br />
This weekend has really helped me and my dad reconnect. I'm so grateful for that.

It was way fun and informative. <br />
<br />
We got there at 11pm Tuesday the 24th. Josh had called the hotel shuttle service before to see if they ran the shuttle to the hotel that late. He was told that the last shuttle from the airport left the airport at 11:15pm. Our flight landed at 10:58 and rushed off it to get to the shuttle in time. We got to the stop just to see the shuttle drive away at 11:10. We were not happy. We decided that since we would be using the Metro for the next couple of days we would take that to our hotel. It was a nightmare getting passes to the metro. You had to go to 2 machines. We were so confused. Luckily there was a metro worker who showed us how to do it. We also asked him how far it was to our hotel. He told us not far. Boy was he wrong. it was about 10 blocks from the metro to our hotel. We got off the metro and used GPS to find the hotel. If you have ever used the GPS on the street you would know that its not that easy. We were going the wrong way and had to turn around. As we were walking and walking just turns to me and says "Do you know what DC stands for?" I told him that I didn't. He then told me that it stands for Death Capital and how there was a lot of murders and stuff. Great Josh way to tell me something like that as we are walking on the side walk of DC in the middle of the night. Really. I became really scared after that. <br />
<br />
We finally made it to the hotel. As we checked in they wanted the money up front for our stay. Josh had to make a money transfer. We get to our room and its really small for a suite. Double bed, small closet and just a shower. We were just glad to finally be at the hotel. <br />
<br />
Wednesday we had a complementary breakfast and met others. We had round table and a meeting in the morning. After we went to 17th street to the Torpedo Factory with another family. It was a long, hot and humid walk. The Torpedo factory was a building used to make torpedoes . They now have converted it into studios for up and coming artists. Each room had art for sale. It was extremely interesting. Some of the art I liked was made out of layered foam core. Someone also made pots with different seines in them. I had been waring my bracelet that someone made for me that was identical to the one that Ally was buried in. I suddenly noticed it had fallen off. I was heart broken. We searched everywhere we could think of with no luck. I went back to the hotel very sad. <br />
<br />
Thursday was the presentation of very good survival rates at a hospital in Florida. The surgeon Dr. Kays had charts showing the survival rates. It made me a little sad to think that if we had known about CHERUBS before Ally died, we could have probably prolonged her life. But maybe not too. <br />
I told Dr Kays that if the baby i'm pregnant with now has CDH I will be moving to Florida for a couple of months. <br />
<br />
We had pictures taken of us in front of the Capital Building, and a meeting with Senator Sessions. Senator Sessions is very much for CDH research and helped us get funding for research. His grandson Jim Bo is a survivor of CDH. Senator Sessions is the Senator for Alabama. After the meeting we had lunch with his wife , daughter, son in law and grandkids. <br />
<br />
We had a fast lunch because after we had to rush to meet with our senator. We had mad a appointment to meet with Senator Matheson. Josh ran to get there in time. I went as fast as I could. My feet were swollen and had cuts on them. I finally get there only to find out that our meeting was for Tuesday not Thursday. We still got to meet with the same person Josh met with last year. We had some more time so we went to the National Archives and saw the Declaration Of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. The only one that was not faded was the Constitution. We were able to get there just before the building closed at 5:30.<br />
<br />
Friday we had a tour of the Capital Building. That night we also had a Cherubs Ball. We met with Senator Sessions and his family and had a catered dinner. Josh had a great time talking to Senator Sessions for a while. He has now decided that he wants to be a senator some day. The conference was over that night.<br />
<br />
Saturday we were on our own. Josh and I went to the White House and took pictures. Josh really wanted to visit the Ford theatre and we did. Very very interesting. The Ford theatre had a museum in the basement. We saw the box where President Lincoln was assassinated and the gun used to kill him. We went to several shops and then went back to the hotel. We had dinner at a little local cafe. <br />
<br />
Sunday we flew home. First to Michigan, then Ohio, and finally to Salt Lake. <br />
<br />
It was a great, inspiring, eventful, learning trip<br />

Due Jan 10, 2015. Very likely could be a News Years Baby, I always go early. Found out in September I was pregnant. Wasn't really wanting to have a baby in December. December is usually is super busy for everyone. But apparently Heavenly Father had another plan in mind. No morning sickness. Just extremely tired all the time and if I don't eat I get extremely faint. I usually done by one trip to the store. I have had 4 ultrasounds and everything seems to be going great. We won't know until the 16-17 week if this baby is a CDH baby or not. If so we will be moving to Florida for the birth and after care. There is a Dr. in Florida who has the highest survival rate of CDH babies anywhere. Hoping everything is well but doesn't hurt to be prepared. I saw the hands and feet at the last ultrasound So excited and relieved that this one is sticking. After having 2 miscarriages. Its nice to know that this one has made it to the 3 month mark. First ultrasound picture you can't really see much. Just a blob. Baby was only 8 weeks. I'll keep everyone posted and put more ultrasound pictures up as I get them. Thanks for all the prayers for this baby so far. They are defiantly helping.

Very incited and felt much better about this one. Even though I had not had my period since the misscarrage in August, I felt lots better about this one because I had tender breasts and was getting nauous a lot. My last pregnancy I had no symptoms what so ever. So had a little mor faith that this one was going to be ok. I went to the doctor to see how far along I was. The didn't a vanginal ultrasound and deturmand that I was 4 weeks and 6 days along. So obviously they couldn't see anything but a sack. Before the dr appointment I had two blood draws to see if my HCG levels were going up. After first appointment I made second appointment for the 18th of November. I was getting way nauseous and called for medication. They suggested taking unison and vitumin B6 which helped tones. Friday November 8th I starts spotting and having cramps. I wasn't to concerned about it because I usually spot and have cramps during every pregnancy. He next day they seem to be fettg worse and worse. I was trying to relax and stay off my feet as much as possible. Saturday I called for a nursery sub and planned on being at my parents house all day. Friday josh car wouldn't start eat her so he had to take mine to work. I was carless so my parents were nice enough to come and get me. Mom bought my niece and nephew over to help me with putting Gracie to bed. Cramps and spotting got really bad on Sunday night. So bad that I felt like I was in labor. I called josh at work to tell him that I really needed to go to the hospital. I had no way to get there so I had to wait until her got home from work Monday moning at 6. At about 4:30 in the morning I got up to use the bathroom and felt like my water was braking. I got to the bathroom and notices a big clot the size of a base ball in the toilet. I had miscarried again, oddy enough no tears or sadness. I went back to bed and cramps got more and more savire. Josh got home and we rushed to the hospital. Amanda was nice enough to come over and watch Gracie until mom could get there. At the hospital I was admitted and givin an IV. My blood was drawn and I got a normal and vaginal ultrasound. Dr came and and told me that there was a sack there but no living baby. I was told that I had not passed everything and that I would probably be doing so the next to days. I was sent home on lortab and a eprest request. Today I still am in a lot of pain. I was also told that I needed to come hbsck and get y blood draw and also to follow up with my OB in 2 days. Surprisingly I haven't really cried or been sad about this experance at all. I don't know if it is because of all the prayers and thoughts by others or if I am just still numb fom the experience. It reminds me of the time I found Ally dead in her crib was able to call the perimedics and give her CPR without totally losing it. I hope the pain goes away and I pass everything soon. I'm not looking forward to having a D and C done.<br />

We even decorated her new big girl room in Minnie Mouse. We watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse every day. She has Minnie Mouse: shoes, clothes, PJs, a small medium and large minnie mouse plushes, and a room. So naturally we thought that she should be Minnie Mouse for Halloween this year. Grandma Jensen made the dress and the undies and mommy made the shoes and the ears. It turned out darling. <br />

I was thrilled. A little hesitant because I had no symptoms. Just tired and having a hard time getting to sleep which has been often lately. I brushed the no symptoms as a blessing.<br />
<br />
August 19th was my 31st birthday. The Wheelers wanted to get together one last time before school started. They decided that we should have a Lagoon day on my birthday. I had a great time. The only ride I went on was puff and the fairs wheel. Both I thought wouldn't hurt me. Gracie had a blast and loved going on the rides. It was her first time and the last time Josh and I went was when Ally was still in the NICU. All in all it was a great day and great birthday.<br />
<br />
August 21st I started craping and spotting I didn't think much of it. I have always spotted and cramped with all my pregnancies.<br />
<br />
August 22nd is when The cramps really started to hurt. Scared to death I called the doctor. Dr suggested that I have an HCG Blood test done. I immediately went to the hospital and had my blood drawn. We were planning on going to St. George the next day. They set another time to do a blood draw in St George. I'm still crampon very hardly and Tylenol doesn't seem to be helping. I went over to my sisters. I then went to the bathroom and noticed a blood clot in the toilet paper. I asked my sister to be sure and she confirmed that it was a miscarriage. I immediately Started to cry. Things rushing through my head. Why again? YOu already have 2 of my children. Why do you need to take a 3rd? I am still very angry with Heavenly Father and am trying to have a better relationship with him. The experience made me pull away not get closer to him. <br />
<br />
The next 2 days were in St. George. I was very weak and remember almost passing out as we went shopping. I received a blessing in which I was told that Heavenly Father was mindful of me. I didn't believe any of it. I was so mad. <br />
<br />
September came and the first week we traveled to Lake Powell. I was still reading and praying but still really angry. Our trip was Great. <br />
<br />
Never have had a miscarriage before so I had no idea what to expect. I didn't know if I needed to have a D & C? or go to the doc? or even when my next cycle would arrive. I was told to wait 2 cycles before trying again by my OB and I could try when I was emotionally ready from my primary care dr. So we haven't prevented it. <br />
<br />
First test was negative. Second test negative at first but faint line later. Pregnancy tests have not been my friend lately. In april I had a false positive and now a negative and a faint line. I called the dr. and asked how long after a miscarriage is your cycle suppose to take? He told me to take another test. So I did. The faint line one. He said that if it wasn't positive then just had to keep waiting. So frustrating.<br />
<br />
So I now am waiting. Gracie has been gaining 5 oz a month. So not much but at least it is something. We have many suggestions on how to help her. Eating at the table, no distractions while eating(TV Radio), daddy has even been asked to eat at the table with us. <br />
<br />
Another good note is my little sister invited me to her Impact Training Graduation on Saturday. She hasn't talked to me since her divorce in January. I was so thrilled to go. I think we are now talking which is so great. I love her and have missed spending time with her. <br />
<br />
I also just started therapy again. <br />

I have been really concerned about it so I took her to the Follow Up Nutrition(FUN) clinic for help. The weighed her and measured her. They asked me about her eating habits. I told them that she sometimes won't eat at all and when she does she only has 2 bites and she is done. They put her on some medication that is suppose to help stimulate her stomach so she will eat more. She barely weighted 20 pounds and she was almost 2. At first they only gave her 2.5 ml. of the medication which didn't help at all. At her 2 year check up with her pediatrician they bumped it up to 5 ml. twice a day. She gets the weekends off but I think it is working a little. The medication makes her sleepy so we give it to her before her nap and at bedtime. I just hope that we don't have to keep giving her the medication all her life. Oh and also the medication makes her very easy to get sunburned. So I have to be very careful not to have her been in the sun to long or make her ware a hat and sunscreen.

We would hold her hands and she would walk fine but when we let go she fell to the floor. She has been for a while walking on her knees. Which if you ask me is harder that just walking. So doesn't have anyone to look up to that is walking so I guess she didn't feel like starting. July 24th she started too. We went to a neighborhood get together for a barbecue and a firework show. Josh had to work as usual. Gracie had hardly touched her food. Which is an entire sorry of its own. As I was caching up with friends and neighbors Gracie was walking from one camp chair and back. She didn't stop she must have done it at least 20 times that night. I was thrilled. After all she just turned 2 two weeks before. I hoped that the walking would continue. <br />
<br />
The next day it was back on her knees and I thought that the night before might have been a fluke. <br />
<br />
Slowly and little by little she started to stand up. I am now proud to say that she is walking all day everyday. She refuses to ride in the grocery cart at the store and always has to go up and down the stair. It takes her a while to get places and takes a long time to go shopping but she is walking and that is what counts. She sometimes doesn't always pay attention to where she is going and often times almost gets ran over by carts. I am surprised that she hasn't been ran over or knocked down by a cart yet. I try to warn others of her and try to warn her as well. Now if we can just get her to eat.Melanie Hensleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11671911824931539228noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1966423956848925430.post-44335553397764196652013-08-12T17:25:00.005-07:002013-08-12T17:25:58.714-07:00Graice's 2!Gracie turned to on the 18th of July. We had a doggy party. We invited family, friends and neighbors. We played pin the bone in the dogs mouth, and made dog hand puppets out of lunch sacks. It was super fun. Big presents Gracie got were a Slide and sandbox, a baby doll, doll stroller, and a ladybug tent. She got a Minnie Mouse, some books, a ball, bubbles, mickey mouse clubhouse figures. Happy Birthday Gracie! We love you.<br />

We met many new friends and old ones we have talked to forever on Facebook in person. Some of which traveled form Australia, and the UK. We saw lots of American History sites. We went to the Museum OF Fine Arts, the Aquarium, the Freedom Walk, the church where Paul Revere hung the two lanterns, the Boston Tea Party and many others. My favorite was the Boston Tea Party. We had a great time.<br />

For her birthday my dad took us on a cruse of Italy. May 18- 25th. We had a wonderful time. Wanted my sister to come but she didn't want to so my dad took his mom and his sister instead. It was awesome. I think my favorite places we saw were Pompeii, and Positanio, the David, the Vatican, Sistine Chapel . Pompeii was an ancient city in roman times that was berried by Mount Vasuvious. The ash made pockets of air that were later filled with plaster and body figures were made from the plaster. So interesting. Positanio<br />
was beautiful. Oh and I can't forget our first day in Rome at the Vatican, Sistine Chaple and a city tour. I have never been so scared in my life as when you used the transportation in Rome. Crazy Drivers. We also went to a medieval castle.<br />

She doesn't dare leg go but at least she is showing interest. We are now in the board stage also. I have been on Pintrest trying to find fun things for her to do. She is also very clingy which is kind of annoying when I am teaching Ballet. She is such a momma's girl. Took her in for a check up on Wednesday last week. Dr. was concerned that she is not walking yet and that she is hardly eating. Gracie doesn't really eat much. She has maybe 5 bites at the most for each meal. Usually only a couple. I have been a little worried about her lately so I made an appointment with the Dr. Gracie is now 19 lb. Which is only 2 lb. heavier than at her last appointment which was 5 months ago. She now has dropped to the 2% weight range. Dr. suggested the FUN clinic at Primary Children. It is a nutrition clinic there that helps babies and children gain weight and gives parents ideas on what to feed these children. Dr. also wants to put her in early intervention through the school district. I have been working on getting those set up. Gracie's motor skills are great and is also talking more and more. She loves to read books. She is now in 12 month clothes and we now have to get her new clothes because we don't have any. We love her so much.<a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10151518595407608&l=9001751001518930580">https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10151518595407608&l=9001751001518930580</a> Melanie Hensleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11671911824931539228noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1966423956848925430.post-67944155127468416162013-03-03T21:05:00.001-08:002013-03-03T21:05:33.203-08:00Sarge<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Saturday last week Josh, Gracie and I went to Pets-mart for a pet adoption. We had no intention on getting a dog we just wanted to look. They had puppies and all sorts of other dogs there. Josh fell in love with a 1.5 year old Boxer/Mastiff named Sarge. He was very large and I was a little intimidated with that. Very sweet and loved to lick Gracie and when he did she would just laugh. I at first didn't want him but Josh said it would be ok so we decided to adopt him. Sunday was horrible. Sarge we learned was a one time pooper and every time I would take him out he wouldn't do anything. Friends in the ward lent me there dog crate and we tried to crate train him. He would have nothing to do with that and Saturday night I had to lock him in our bathroom. Josh was working the whole weekend and wasn't a big help because he was always sleeping. He had 2 accidents in the house but that was all. We were beginning to get to know each other. Wednesday was Ally's birthday and we wanted to go to the cemetery to visit her. We had to shove Sarge in his crate and leave. We didn't think it would take 5 hours but it did. By the time we got home Sarge had managed to get the blanket on top of the crate, through one opening in the crate. He had also pushed the bottom of the crate out. We started wondering if having him was such a good idea. I would call Josh's sister Stacy for help everyday. I needed some help but wasn't able to get Josh to. Thursday was the big blow. Family drama. Josh and I then decided that we were not good for him. I called the shelter we got him from and asked if they wanted him back. They said they did and that they would be there on Saturday. Josh and I both felt terrible. He was such a good boy. We just felt that at this time in our lives we could not handle him. Josh wanted to put him in training classes but never could with his work schedule. We always had somewhere we needed to go and would have to leave him. We were so sad and tried to come up with a way that we could keep him. He was very loving, obedient, well behaved and such a great dog. Ww took him back on Saturday. I miss him always laying by me when I was on the computer. I miss him at night. A lot when Josh is gone, but I think the best choice was made. Josh and I bought him a collar and engraved a tag for him. We wanted him to keep it. I hope with all my heart that Sarge goes to g great family. We will miss him.Melanie Hensleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11671911824931539228noreply@blogger.com0
