An Eventful Weekend

So, Saturday, a big snow storm hit Provo.  It started snowing about 2 or so and didn't really give up.  Josh went out that night to shovel a little bit- to make it easier to shovel the rest Sunday morning.  It snowed through the night and part of Sunday.  We got quite a bit of snow.  Yes, that's right- even when it's snowing, Josh still wants to wear his shorts!  He is definitely an Arizona guy!
So, Sunday, we went to church as normal.  Part way through Sacrament Meeting, I took Kate out to change her diaper.  While we were in the hall, Kate started making noises like she couldn't really breathe.  It was almost like she couldn't quite catch her breath.  She turned pale and kind of went limp against me.  I went and got Josh.  By the time he came out, she had fallen asleep and we couldn't really get her to wake up.  So, we loaded her in her car seat and went straight to the Emergency Room. 
Josh and I spent six hours with Kate in the ER.  They did a bunch of tests and finally concluded that she had a mild form of pneumonia.  They wanted to monitor her overnight, so we were admitted to the Pediatrics unit Sunday night.
Except for when she was being poked and prodded, which was a lot, Kate was her happy self in the hospital.  She was smiling and talking with the nurses and doctors.
The hospital gave Kate a little hospital gown to sleep in.  Just like the adult ones- they tied in the back and didn't really cover very much.
Here's the little I.V. they put in her ankle.  She had a bunch of different things monitoring her throughout the night.  The doctor came and checked on her Monday morning and said that she looked really good.  We were able to bring her home Monday morning.
This definitely does not look like a sick baby.  She is on some medicine and has a little cough, but she doesn't act sick.  She has been her same happy self since being home!  It was a really scary event, but we are just glad that Kate is alright.  We love her and are so grateful that she is healthy!

A LITTLE LATE. . .

Ok, so some people have asked to see some pictures of when I was pregnant.  I thought I would share just a few from the last few months when I was pretty big.  These first two are from the beginning of September (so about 2 1/2 weeks before Kate was born).  Josh and I were celebrating our anniversary that weekend.


This picture was taken about 1 1/2 months before Kate was born- so before the previous pictures.

Thanksgiving Week

Ok, so I (Melissa) have finally figured out how to post things. So, I'm going to try and post things more often. Anyways, for Thanksgiving, we went down to Arizona and enjoyed time with family and in warm weather. It was so fun to be with everyone and have Kate meet her cousins, especially Molly who is two weeks younger than Kate. It was so much fun. Josh and I are really thankful for our families! (So, I haven't entirely figured out how to do this. I wrote in captions to all of the pictures, but none of them showed up right. Anyways, most of the pictures are of me, Josh, and Kate. There are also pictures of Kate and her cousin Molly. I'm still working on it, but for now, here it is!)

We've made it to the computer age!!!




Hello Everyone...we are trying to become more modern and thought this would be a good way to show pictures of the little one when she gets here!
