It is way past due for a new post. I'll just pick up where I left off...After a 10 day stay in the hospital we finally got to come home. On the 9th day I was at my breaking point and I told Heavenly Father this and He listened. I told Him I couldn't do it any more and He knows me and made it possible for Melia to come home the next day. The doctor wanted her completely off oxygen and on room air before they sent her home and once they started weaning her she did really well. We were so blessed to be at Primary Children's and the medical staff there are incredible, especially the nurses. What would we do without them!? And what would I have done without my family, my mom mostly. She was definitely my angel through out all of this. She had Jayla and Blake for most of the time and bless her heart. Diane, Kate and my Grandma Gregory also helped out a lot and I wouldn't have survived without all of their help. I am truly, truly blessed to have such a wonderful, supportive family.

Melia is growing like a weed! Soon after she got home she was taking 4 oz feedings every three hours. That's a lot for a little girl! This picture was taken two weeks ago and she's already bigger than this.

This was after her first day of church. I wore this same dress when I was a baby.

Isn't she just so precious? And I love her red hair. I didn't think I would like having a red-haired baby but I love it and she gets so many comments and compliments from people.

Of course I couldn't leave out Jayla and Blake. They did so well through out the whole ordeal and I couldn't ask for better kids. When we were finally all home Blake asked me if I was coming to Grandma's (he thought he was going back). I told him no and asked him if he wanted to stay here and he said, "Noooo." I aksed him if he wanted to sleep in his own bed and have mommy here. Again he said, "Noooo." Even after all that time he still wanted to be with Grandma.
Getting back to life took an adjustment. I was feeling very overwhelmed just being back to real life and then on top of that more responsibilities from our business fell on to me at the same time. I was having major anxiety but I had been through that after I had Blake and knew how to handle it. I am now grateful for my previous experience because it helped me through this time much quicker and easier. Thank you again to everybody for your help and prayers and thoughts through our difficult time. When stuff like this happens it truly makes you realize how blessed you are in many aspects of your life.
