Update

The appointment with the perinetal doctor today, while no new news was revealed, Jay and I were able to get several of our questions answered. While it feels as though we have a million of them running through our heads at one time, we did feel that we are more informed in addition to the daily google searches on the syndrome by this mom.

First, Baby K is a fighter and stubborn! She is certainly as hard headed as her mommy and daddy and her heart rate was at 160 in addition to her dislike to being poked and prodded. They did not do an ultrasound today but did check on her heart and she was kicking the monitor and moving away from it as they tried to get her rate. We are to go in next Tuesday for another ultrasound.

Second, Baby K's mommy and daddy are fighters too. While we know everything happens for a reason and will never know for sure what that reason is we have determined a few of those over the past 7 days. One being that our marriage will become stronger and we will become closer as a couple in the weeks to come. Second, we are aware of how terribly precious life really is and to not ever take anything for granted! While these are only a couple of the reasons that we have come up with we are certain that we will never understand why God has dealt us this hand but we do know that he doesn't give out more than he thinks we can handle. We are a strong couple and would not be as strong as we are without the support system that we have in helping us deal with this. It's because of our friends and family, the thoughts and prayers that we have received and the love of each other and all of you that we know that we will survive this bad luck draw.

Our little girl will always be our angel girl! We will always know that she is going to be very well taken care of "in the sky" by Great Grandparents, Uncles and the "tooth fairy". We also know that she will always be looking over us. Jay and I will be strong, we are determined that we will make it through this, together, and will always have our daughter in our hearts forever and ever! We continue to cheerish and appreciate all of our friends and family and will always remember how precious life is and not take anything for granted.

Love always,

Jay, Nita & Baby K
