Seven Weeks

WOW! Kastyn will be seven weeks old tomorrow. Time is going so fast and she is growing so fast. The other night she slept for 8 hours, but has only done that once. I have to go back to work soon and I'm not looking forward to it. I have enjoy my time off hanging out with Kastyn and Justin. Kastyn has been such a blessing to us.
I think about my miscarriage and why the Lord would put me through that, but then I look at Kastyn and see my answer in her beautiful blue eyes. If I hadn't miscarried, she wouldn't be here. The Lord gives and the Lord takes away. We don't understand His plan sometimes but His plan is always the best. I can see that in Kastyn.

I have started my Masters classes and things seem to be going ok. I hope I can do it. I haven't been to school in 6 years so I am a little rusty. For my classes I got a new Kindle Fire and I am loving it. I can buy my books on that and save some money on them.

I am loving pinterest. I am getting so many creative ideas for food and for craft things to do with Kastyn when she gets older. I better get busy because she should be waking up soon and Justin is out fishing.

Settling In!

Kastyn, Justin, and I are settling in as a family and three. I am enjoying her so much and so is her daddy. Justin is laid off for this month so we have all gotten to stay home and get adjusted and settled.
Lots of family and friends have come to visit. All the grandparents except Papa Olson have gotten to see her. Well Papa Olson got to see her on Skype but not in person. Most of her aunts have too. Joy and Brooke are my two sisters that haven't gotten to see her. I know Joy is so ready to see her but she has been working and not had any time off. We live about 13 hours from her.
It's hard to have family so far away but I hope to visit family this summer.

Kastyn Kayde Porter

My last post said Almost Time and I was right. Kastyn Kayde Porter was born Dec. 11th, 2011 at 1:36 pm via c-section.
Justin and I were on our way to church and I said, "I think my water broke, I feel like I peed my pants." I went back into the house and changed. We got back in the truck and headed to church. Justin had to teach the youth that day so I didn't want him to have to miss it. He went to teach youth and I headed into church, on the way in I saw Pastor Jonathan and he teasingly said, "Don't let your water brake on our new chairs." We both laughed and then I told him what had happened on the way to church. He gets on the phone with his wife and she wants to talk to me. She tells me that I had better get to the hospital because she is definate that my water broke. While talking to her I felt it again and told her I was going. She called Pastor Jonathan back and he took over the youth while Justin and I left to head to the hospital....
Upon arrival to the hospital I kept feeling like my water was breaking more and more with each step I took. When I got to labor and deliver they took me back to a room to check to make sure I knew what I was talking about. They said my water didn't brake but it tore. Then they told me that they couldn't feel her head. I paniced..they took an ultrasound and said I would have to have a c-section cause she was breech. That was about 11 am. I hadn't had any contractions and was feeling pretty good. They got me all set up in the operating room and I had a c-section. At 1:36 pm my precious little girl Kastyn Kayde was born. Mommy and daddy couldn't be more proud. She was the most beautiful baby I had ever laid eyes on.
