Introducing Mattisyn JoAnn Cole

Okay, so Im a little behind. Mattisyn just turn three weeks old yesterday. We went into the doctor on April 20th for a routine check-up. I had been having false contractions for the last couple of weeks and when they checked my blood pressure it was very high. I had also swelled up the last couple of days. Doc came back after checking my blood pressure for the fouth time in 45min period - Toxiemia (PreClamsia) AGAIN. So.. To Labor and Delivery we went. Mattisyn was born on my Aunt Jen's birthday!!

Mattisyn had a hard time breathing on her own. The doctors told us that if they couldnt take her of the oxygen within 6 hours she would be admitted to NICU. This was the long 6 hours for us. Matt and one of the Drs gave her a priesthood blessing and then we had to leave her in transition. I couldnt sleep the rest of the night. Waiting for the phone call to hear what was going on. After 6 1/2 hours passed I made Matt call to see what was going on. The nurse told him they were in the middle of running some more test and they would let us know. After another hour passed, we called again. Good new this time. The nurse informed us that they were bring her to us and that she was now off the oxygen.

McKinley is thrilled with her new little "sissy". She runs up to her every chance she gets and says "Hi Sissy, Hi Sissy". McKinley has enjoyed holding Mattisyn (with help of course) and loves to push her in the baby swing!! (Not momma's favorite thing)
