Happy Birthday Lindsey

Where has the time gone Lindsey turned 9 on Sat. I was remembering the day she was born.
I had been leaking fluid for a few weeks instead of getting bigger I was getting smaller. They had scheduled a test an amniocenteses test on a Monday morning. I remember being really nervous. The Dr. called on Sunday night and asked Gary if he would be willing to drive the fluid they drew out over to Utah Valley Hospital, so they could get the results faster. he agreed to do it. When we arrived on Monday to the Dr. I walked into the room and seen the needle that they was going to use I said a little pray that I would be able to get through this and that all would be alright with my baby. We did not know the sex of this baby. I had stress test every week starting when they could hear the heart beat. They keep telling me it was a boy's heart rate. So we just decided we were going to be an all boy family and that we didn't need to know the sex because we figured it was a boy. When they started the test they start with an ultra sound the Dr. turned off the machine I remember just freaking out inside because that is what he did with Nathan. I took a deep breath thinking I can do this. He then told us we had to delivery the baby today they didn't have enough fluid to do the test. They sent me to the hospital where they gave me medicine to soften my cervix and sent me home for awhile. We got a few things in order and went back to the hospital. The baby was born at 12:29 am. They pulled the baby out he(because we thought it was a boy.) had have a lot of hair. Then the DR. said it was a girl. Gary and I both cried a girl.
We were excited. They took her away rather fast. They could not keep her body temputure up. I was laying there hoping all was alright. next thing I new was a nurse grabbed my gown and pulled it down. I was a little in shock of what she was doing then another lady ran over with the baby and placed her on my chest and then they snapped up the gown again. They then told me they were going to try something different to bring up her temputure. By using my body temputure. So we laid there for awhile. She had a ton of hair so I looked liked like I had a man chest they all got a kick out of that. April came to see what we had and all she could see was hair and said Miranda doesn't even have a chance.Because she was 2 and still had no hair.

When we called to tell people in the morning that we had the baby Gary would tell them if you want to know what we had you have to came see. Well I called his brother Rick and told him that he said come on and tell me I was so excited that I told him. I think he told his wife that we had a boy. Because when they came to the hospital to see his wifw asked why did they put a bow in his hair. We laughed and told her it was a girl. It took us a long time to name her.

We are glad we have her she add's a lot of joy and laughter and love.
