12/01 Anya's at Nana G's

We are missing our little girl today as she is staying at Nana G's for a few days to give us a little break... 

11/29 Website back online... and baby-doll sick today :(

Hi all!!  Sorry for the website disruption.  Sometime in the next few weeks I'll try to get it all back together again.  I was able to archive all the guestbook items but I just need to figure out how to transfer them over to this new website's format... 

Anya woke up sick this morning around 3 am...  same old story.. never saw it coming.  Unfortunately it came during the weekend when the two oldest boys are at Grandma and Grandpa's and we were going to try to get some x-mas shopping done.  Oh well, the piece and quiet (funny how we now consider only two kids crying as being quiet) is very nice.   Anya appears to be snapping out of it and may be ready to start eating again soon.  She goes through a very (VERY!!) annoying stage of teeth grinding as she gets her energy back.

10/29 Anya's baby brother

This is my new baby brother, Bodie Jon Jackson, born 10/22. He is such a little show-off. He can sleep really well, eat by mouth, and all sorts of cool stuff...

10/22 Everyone is healthy!!!!

10/22 Back in the Hospital

Well we are back in the hospital but this time it is not for Anya.  It is for her brand new BABY BROTHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!  That's right!!  I know it is a suprize to many of you.  we just wanted to keep that a bit private for a while.  Any way, the stats are 20inches 8lbs 5oz. born at 2:30am.  He didn't come with a name tag so we are not sure on that part yet but we'll figure that our eventually.  Bottom line is that he is healthy and perfect.  Mom is doing just awesome.  She was absolutely amazing.  We'll get pictures on soon....

8/13 All is well again

It was a relatively short episode only lasting from around 9am until 6pm last night.  She slept well last night which is unusual following an episode.  She's been back to her happy self all day.

10/12 Sick Again

Anya is sick today. Wow, was it nice when she made it 34 days without getting sick. It seems we may be back to every 7 days again. Bummer. The frustrating thing is we have no idea what made her get to 34 days, it must have been chance. Hopefully she will be back to her smiling self in no time!

10/11 Anya had a fun day!

But Aksel had a better one...

New record!! but sick again.

Well she had a good run.  Actually broke her old record of days not getting sick.  I believe she went 34-days but then was sick most of the day Thursday, was good yesterday and then sick again all day today (two years in a row she pulled this stunt on her mom's birthday).  We may have a few ideas on what worked this past month.  We'll see...

October 1 Great News

Anya weighs over 20 lbs. This is great news. It has taken us 2 years to get her over 16 lbs. and in the last 4 months she has put on 4 lbs. this is awesome!!!!!! She looks so much healthier and actually has chub on her thighs. Her ribs do not stick out and her arms have some weight as well. I also think it might be time to move to size 3 diaper. WOW -we have been at a size 2 forever:) Great job Anya. We are so proud of you!

Puking Again

Anya has started puking again early this morning. She was sick on Saturday as well. She is starting to loose weight, these last couple episodes have lasted long and not much time for food in between. We continue to look for answers EVERY day. We'll see if that day comes......

August 25 Not great....

I know it's been a while since the last post but there hasn't been much to post. After writing that Anya was really doing well of course she started to get sick. The last 3 weeks have been awful! She has been sick more than healthy and it's really taking a toll on our emotions. I can't imagine what her little body must feel when she starts vomiting. My little princess just looks at me with these big blue eyes as if saying "mommy do something, take this vomiting away". I feel so bad when there isn't anything I can do for her, it is such a helpless feeling. I have never been so sad, mad, hopeless, frustrated, angry........ To see your child so sick is that absolute worst.

8/1 Stander.

Anya finally got her stander last week. She started out going in it about 4 times/day 10 minutes each. She's been tolerating it very well so we're slowly increasing time. We are firm believers in following a natural developemental sequence of stages, i.e. creep, crawl, stand, walk, run, fly (we aim high). This stander is not really intended to teach her how to stand but rather to get her hip sockets to grow appropriately. When the bones don't experience that normal upward stress, the socket doesn't know to grow around/over the ball. Hopefully this will prevent future hip dislocations and potential surgeries. Plus it's pink. The boys love pushing her around the house (away from the stairs).

We're all about safety!!
