One Year Ago today!

How things change in a year! A year ago today Graham and I got the best news of our lives... WE WERE GOING TO BE PARENTS!!! It was the best/scariest feeling ever! Hadley will be 4 months old tomorrow and we could not be more in love with her. She is such a blessing in our lives.
She is 13.3 pounds and 25.25 inches long. She is eating about 24-26 ounces a day. She gets 2 ounces of formula and the rest breast milk... YES, I am STILL pumping! haha. I keep saying that I am going to quit because I am so sick of it but I havent just yet! If I can do it for 2 more months I am pretty sure I should get a supermom award! haha. ;) Hadley rolled over for the first time last Sunday, but has yet to do it again! She loves to cuddle when she is sleepy, which I love! The rest of the time she has to be able to see everything! She is so social :) She loves to be held, but is happy playing on her mat on the floor as well. She loves pretty much everyone, but I love that she has 'Mommy Moments'. This is when I am the only one she wants. :)

We did have a scary last couple of days...
I week ago Saturday we found a lump on Hadley's shoulder... After multple doctor's visits, an ultrasound, and meeting with a pediatric specialist, they have diagnosed it as a Vascular Hemangioa Mass which is a:

 'Infantile hemangiomas are benign vascular neoplasms that have a characteristic clinical course marked by early proliferation and followed by spontaneous involution. During the proliferative phase in the neonatal period or early infancy, a rapidly dividing endothelial cell proliferation is responsible for the enlargement of infantile hemangiomas. Finally, an involutional phase occurs, whereby most infantile hemangiomas are clinically resolved by age 9 years.'

Hers is different because it is under the skin where most are on the surface, big and red, hers looks like a bruise. The specialist said that it could stay the size it is now (4CM) or could grow to the size of a grapefruit! We are hoping a praying that it stays this size or smaller. There is nothing medically doctors can do for it. WE will just watch it over the next couple of years to make sure that it is not impeding on blood flow or breathing.
We love her so much and ask for your prayers for her over the next couple of years.


We are heading back to Calgary on May 3rd :( OKC has been so amazing and I am NOT ready to go back to Calgary! We will be spending the summer in Sasky so we are just praying for GREAT weather!!! :)

Well that is all for now. Have a great weekend everyone

Love
Jamie, Hadley, &; Graham
