Babies

I made hournals and meticuolously recorded everything for the first three, so I have empty journals for the last two and thought that I'd beeter jot something down before I forget. 1) Joseph Alexander Holden. His name comes from Nick's mother (who passed away before I ever came into the picture) his middlename (Nick's) is Jay. And he told me that many times his mother said that she wanted to name him Joseph. So, it is a tip'o'the hat to her. Then, Joe's middle name was suggested by Paige Lewis, and I really liked it. She had suggested several names, but I reallly liked Alexander. We lived in the Araprtments by the mall in Layton. I can't remember the name but it was 452W secon floor. i recall the stair, and our shower didn't work. but, We moved shortly after I got home from the hospital with Joseph. I remember shopping when I was pregnant, and we picked this condo because it wouldn't require any fixing up (that was a concern at the time). we live in this condo now and I really don't like it, my bathroom is broken, I can't take a shower, and the refridgerator still needs a new water filter. But, at least it works again. And I have a new dish washer and toaster oven and new heating element of the oven. Joseph is sweeping right now, and Mary is laughing in her highchair eatting the newly baked banana muffins. He was born via c-section at McKay Dee hospital in Ogden. I went to the Intermountain clinic for all of my prenatal care. it was all via medicare The Doctor was Audrey Jericho. He was born on October 13th, 2009, weighing 7lbs 2oz. He was 20 inches tall and was born at 8:31 AM. I recall we had to arrive at 6:30 or earlier in the morning, so I just opted not to sleep. 2) Mary Anne Holden was born shortly after lunch. Nick's father and step mother were there. Joseph was there on and off. I had a hard time lifting him after my surgery, and walking was difficult, too, but I was in need to watch him in the boring hall way so Nick could visit Mary at the NICU. I was very ill an on bed rest, well, I was supposed to be. She was born January 7th, 2011 weighing less than Joseph. I went to a recovery room and got 2 liters of blood and my body temperature had dropped waay low. It was a big storm. I remember that my platelette count was too low for them to perform surgery but I needed the c-section and because my placenta wouldn't detatch from my uterus, I had an emergency hysterectemy. I have recovered fine, so has she. Though I had to leave the hospital without her. She had breathing troubles and wouldn't eat so she stayed in in the NICU and only was allowed to leave under several provisions, one of which was how we monitored her breathe and then she required oxygen administration, which was a pain, but it is in the past now. She still does not walk though. she can, but choses not to. At her last appointment she was severely underweight for her age. She is practically as tall as Joseph though. She is still by weight limits required to be in a rear facing car seat. My doctor was Scott Swift and she was born at Ogden Regional medical center. we changed physicians because of insurance changes. She saw Dr. Alvey at some children's clinic for a while. But, now both she and Joseph are on medicaid and going to the intermountain children's clinic.
