<br /><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;">our little guy was taken to Primary Childrens NICU about 12 hours after being born. this was a complete shock to us due to the fact that i had a very normal and healthy pregnancy and delivery. becks joined us around 10:30pm on Monday, July 25th and early the next morning the pediatrician noticed some abnormal colored spit up on the neck of his nightgown. about 45 minutes later, our little guy was being wheeled away into an ambulance with tubes and iv's. </div><div style="text-align: center;">i dont think i can describe the feelings that daniel and i had as we watched our little boy hooked up to what seemed like a million tubes being taken away so shortly after he had arrived. it was heartbreaking. </div><div style="text-align: center;">

It is a condition where the intestines become infected and can begin to die. The disease usually affects premature babies, although term babies may also get NEC. NEC can require surgery and if left untreated, has a high morbidity and mortality rate. pretty scary right? luckily becks didn't need surgery and was able to be treated with a seven day course of antibiotics and round the clock monitoring. he was quite the little stud with the nurses and everyone loved his sweet little personality. he had visitors everyday that came up to hold and love him while i was away. it was one of the hardest things ive ever gone through not being able to be with my baby and knowing that i was helpless to his situation. it was so comforting to know that he had so many others with him at all times and that he was being cared for by some of the best medical staff around.</div><div><div id="abw" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 12px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 0.75em; margin-left: auto; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 15px; text-decoration: inherit; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); border-top-width: 3px; border-top-style: solid; border-top-color: rgb(255, 51, 0); position: relative; text-align: left; width: 930px; display: inline !important; "><div id="abm" class="clear" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 12px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; text-decoration: inherit; zoom: 1; position: relative; display: inline !important; "><div id="abc" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 12px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: -336px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; text-decoration: inherit; position: relative; width: 930px; display: inline !important; "><div id="articlebody" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 12px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-top: 1.5em; margin-right: 351px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; text-decoration: inherit; position: static; display: inline !important; "><div style="font-family: inherit; font-size: 12px; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin-top: 1.5em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; text-decoration: inherit; display: inline !important; ">

remember...as you can see by the little gadget to the left today is supposed to be "the day".<div>you know, the day that this baby who's been making himself much to comfortable in my womb was going to make his grand entrance?<br /><div>i have a feeling it will come and go with out seeing any action. boo.</div><div><br /></div><div>as i've been getting everything ready over the past few weeks for the little guys debut, i've found myself looking back over the last 9 months and remembering how life used to be. i know that as soon as this baby joins our family, daniel and i's life will take a giant turn into unchartered territory. am i ready for it? i think so. am i scared? you bet! could i be any more excited? probably not. </div><div><br /></div><div>so here are a list of just a few memories. most of which i am very eager to forget.</div><div><br /></div><div>i remember when i could clean my house without sweating like a pig and feeling like my heart was going to burst out of my chest.</div><div><br /></div><div>i remember when i could run for 2 plus hours and feel great. now... well lets just say a walk around the block is a struggle. </div><div><br /></div><div>i remember when i could get ready for the day really fast and now it takes me FOREVER because i have to stop to take breaks because i'm so tired. oh ya- and sweating like a pig.</div><div><br /></div><div>i remember when my hands and feet looked "normal" and not like they'd been stung by a million bees. </div><div><br /></div><div>i remember when i only slept with one pillow and now i sleep with four.</div><div><br /></div><div>i remember when our little "she" turned into a "he" and i cried for two days. true story. </div><div><br /></div><div>i remember when i could control my emotions, well sort of.</div><div><br /></div><div>i remember when my clothes fit. this one is just depressing. </div><div><br /></div><div>i remember when i could drink a glass of water and not have to run to the bathroom within minutes of finishing it. </div><div><br /></div><div>i remember when i didn't have to recline the seat in my car just so i could drive "comfortably".</div><div><br /></div><div>i remember when i didn't have to stuff my feet into almost every pair of shoes i own. flip flops have become my best friend. </div><div><br /></div><div>i remember being hungry, eating something that sounded good, and being content with it. </div><div><br /></div><div>i remember wanting this moment from the time i was a little girl. </div><div><br /></div><div>i remember thinking that july 18th seemed SO far away and now its here.</div><div><br /></div><div>i remember when this was just my dream and now its becoming my reality. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>get here soon baby. your mother is so anxious to meet you and excited to make many more "remember when" moments with you. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div></div>danny &

busy, busy<div style="text-align: center;">where has the time gone?! i can't believe its already the middle of July and only SEVEN days away from my due date (but that's another post). we have been so busy with family over the last month and it has been so much fun. two of daniels sisters live out of state and both came to visit at the same time this year. so.... obviously we had to get a family picture. don't mind that i am nine months pregnant in them. it is truly amazing to see how blessed we are with family when i look at this picture. it makes me think that one day, a long ways away, daniel and i will be the ones in the middle with our family surrounding us. even though this will be outdated in about a week once our little guy arrives, i am grateful to have this picture of the ever growing Reeder family. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a

The boys played some basketball while the ladies chatted away and it was so nice to finally be able to sit outside in the sunshine. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL4B1GAeRknaiCZj5MtMfAXqm2jJpLbb0nZXaQMYw-duAQhM9q-0hAXYJDJ17UPMFXbj5HIL3h2AGVBRmnjPwmAZ8LcYgxG1DyeBEAvaGSrx53r8-qvYH2m4HvmcDyI4BtekN5j-8P1U3_/s1600/DSC_0263.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block;

Today I am 28 weeks (7 months) and I feel like I have no more room inside of me for this little guy to grow. I've been told its going to be a rough 3 months ;0) </div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm pretty sure I'm one of the worst pregnant women EVER! Poor Daniel....</div><div style="text-align: center;">If I'm not complaining about my swollen feet, my back and tail bone hurting, the little guys limbs kicking my rib cage, or heartburn, then I'm probably asleep. All complaining aside, I really have been very blessed and lucky to have such a healthy pregnancy. We are getting more and more anxious to meet this little guy and are hoping that the next 12 weeks go by fast. I have loved being able to feel him move around all day long. Even if I think he's bruising me internally. Time seems to be flying by and before we know it, it'll be July and we will no longer be a family of 2. I'll leave you all with these totally awesome photos. Here is our best attempt at a "maternity photo shoot". Don't mind the creeper husband... </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmC2ycV2CU9f3OUYlPrxYkR5zRdNuMLY-3l3HZJYZmEm24LPzuD8m6828jmxrPL98RGLZ94-OTzjard6KFGe05ZoiTrIY-HOa-LxSOCOMbq7k2nyRnm0v5qtO0l0V759eHtB5fa1qsX4iI/s1600/DSC_0248.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block;
