SO FRUSTRATED

2010-11-12T13:35:00.000-08:00

Falin got put on a oxygen concentrator that is freaking huge and i only get four o2 tanks a month and the concentrator is heavy as hell so how am i supposed to move it around the house i just wish she would get off this stupid oxygen. It is very stressful not only for me but for him as well now that he is crawling and with the concentrator hes only allowed 20 feet of cord or he wont get the oxygen he needs ugh im going to go crazy i hope he gets better soon.

FALIN

2010-11-10T22:51:00.000-08:00

Well The other day falin and i were just hanging out and he has a little cough that i swear will not go away
So i started copying him and he would laugh well now he thinks its funny to fake cough I LOVE it when i put my hand over his mouth he coughs into it. My son is the most adorable little thing I've ever seen I love the things he is starting to do.
Like this morning when i went into his room to get him out of his crib he was standing there holding on to the rail bouncing up and down and laughing haha oh man I love my life.<3

Update

2010-11-06T14:44:00.001-07:00

Falin is getting so big and is crawling all over the place, pulling himself up on things,
he says dada and LOVES food. I love my little boy more than anything in the world
He is the biggest blessing in my life i don't know what i would do without him.
Dad is always gone for work so we get to spend a lot of time together just him and I
and I really enjoy that.(we also enjoy when dad is home though):) being born 8 weeks early and
only weighing 3lbs 6oz now nine months old and he weighs 15.9lbs Glad he is gaining lol he still
is really skinny and tall though. Here are some recent pictures of my little man.

Falin Clay Madsen

2010-02-24T17:23:00.001-08:00

so falin took a step backwards the other day he had to go back on oxygen but he is gaining like an ounce everyday he now weighs 3lbs 11oz he is so cute and he has really big eyes i love them. here are some pictures some of them were taken on camera phones so the quality isn't very good.

UPDATE

2010-02-12T11:27:00.000-08:00

So I got hospitalized again because of an infection in my uterus which makes me very angry because i had it when i delivered that is where the baby got it from and they sent me home without it being gone and didnt send me home with any antibiotics so no im back here. Falin is doing good he is moving along great they said he will probably be on high flow tomorrow and be off his cpap and he is done with being under lights and his infection came back negative so they are waiting i think another 6 days until they stop his meds for it. he lost weight and now weighs 3lbs 2oz he is so tiny but i love him so much and i owe the world to my husband for giving me such a great birthday gift lol and he has done so much for me since i have been in the hospital.

Best Birthday Present EVER

2010-02-08T14:50:00.000-08:00

So Falin Clay Madsen was born February 7th at 3:56 pm a day after my birthday i just got my birthday present a day late but its the best ever he weighed 3lbs 6oz and was 16 1/2 inches long he cant breathe on his own and does have an infection. They have gave him sedatives cuz when he is awake he fights the ventilator trying to breathe on his own but his lungs just arent ready. I also have an infection and had alot more bleeding than normal im doing good and will get to go home hopefully wednesday but little falin has to stay in the nicu for quite sometime nobody knows when he will get to come home. I love him sooooooo much

Eventful

2010-02-04T10:39:00.000-08:00

So yesterday was quite eventful for me since I'm stuck in the hospital and have been here for 13 days and left my room only once to go down the hall. My sister was down here with me for the day and she did my hair, make up, and nails then we did my maternity pictures since i never got a chance to do them before my water decided to break on me. oh and the night before my mom and her both stayed the night and man it was a good night we watched youtube videos and laughed harder than i have laughed in a long time it was nice for us three to just hangout even if it was in the hospital. If you would like to check out the maternity pictures they are on our model me studio blog spot click here to check it out.

*By the way Congrats to Natalie & Logan on their new addition he is so adorable*

2010-01-28T09:09:00.000-08:00

So everything has been going pretty good except for the fact I miss home, the outdoors, sunshine,my husband, and my niece and nephew for sure. today my dad is coming to stay with me for the first time since i have been in here he was sick so he had to wait till he got over his cold. My family is so good to me i love them so much. Tomorrow night it will be a week since I've been in here doesn't really feel that long but in a way it does cuz im going nuts. Still crossing my fingers he will stay in there and i wont get infection or bleeding cuz i really dont want to have a c-section by any means but whatever is best for baby and i so like i said before ill just keep posting new blogs to keep you updated sometimes might be the same but ill write it anyways

1-25-10

2010-01-25T13:40:00.000-08:00

so kurtis left this morning to go back to Cedar for work so today i have just been trying to catch up on sleep that i have missed during the nights, my mom is coming to stay with me tonight until tomorrow night which will be nice. I love my family they are so amazing. been spotting a little but they say its nothing to worry about because with my water being broke and the baby being so far down he is probably just pushing on my cervix causing me to dialate or however u spell that but they arent going to worry unless it gets worse or until i start having contractions that i can feel.

1-24-10

2010-01-24T18:41:00.000-08:00

Well baby is still cooking and I'm still in bed but am now allowed to get up to go to the bathroom and to shower only short showers though he doesn't want me off monitors to long. But i have made it 48 hours on the steroids, and switched all my iv medications to oral meds, no sign of infection or bleeding were just trying to take it one day at a time. I'm just doing what I'm told which is to stay in bed so I haven't really moved and poor kurtis hes been so good dont know what i would do without him here and he leaves me tomorrow to go back to work. but will be back next weekend or for one night during the week to visit. Have only had like 5 contractions total since i have been here but i haven't felt any of them. Still just praying he will be ok and make it at least two more weeks i would be very grateful for him to make it to 34 weeks then they will just take him if he makes it that far.

New Baby Update

2010-01-23T00:05:00.000-08:00

well I'll be 30 weeks pregnant on monday but tonight at around 5:30 my water broke so i thought i was just peeing my pants so i changed my underwear went to the bathroom and then got in my cousins car to go to my hunters safety class when we got there i was getting ready to walk into class and it started gushing again luckily my husband and brother in-law were there getting my jeep so i said kurtis you have to take me home i just peed my pants again. so we went home and my mom said she thought it was my water so she called my aunt who was a nurse and she said to go to the hospital just to make sure and for sure it was. Valley View doesnt deliver a baby under 34 weeks so i got transfered to Dixie and im here until the baby is born he said it could be two weeks up to one month but ive been givin steroids to help the baby with his lungs and such the baby only weighs 2lbs 12oz so im hoping he will stay in there alittle bit longer but i will keep everybody updated on whats going on.

Time is dragging

2009-11-12T12:24:00.000-08:00

So sorry i haven't blogged in awhile i kind of forgot i even had a blog. well I

finally got a second job since kurtis is out of work for now. I'm working at the

crystal inn doing the breakfast buffet, I have to get up at Four AM it is so annoying

because I'm surely not a morning person for anybody who knows me. So I'm really hoping kurtis gets a job soon but not to soon because i want to go camping during next week up on our property on cedar mountain, ride four wheelers and lay on the hammock just relax! well Take care everybody we love you.

I have been sick for the past week it sucks so bad I have tried everything to get myself feeling better, because Kurtis and I would like go to Mesa Arizona over the thanksgiving holiday with his family. Well hopefully I'll be feeling better by then cuz the doctor gave me some antibiotics. YAY
