Senior year was pretty great for me! My brother got engaged and married my sister-in-law and she has a son named Hunter so I got my first nephew! In about September we found out my sister was pregnant!!!! I was so excited and in shock and November we found out she was having a little girl. She was due in I think April or so. Christmas time came around and Amber's husband was working and she wasn't feeling good, it was Christmas day if I remember right. So I stayed with Amber in case she needed someone. With Ambers back and heart surgery I have talked about before it was a hard and difficult pregnancy for her. She would have to go see a heart doctor along with a normal doctor to make sure everything was going okay.
In February Amber was in the hospital and they told her she was going to have the baby and she needed some shots to help with the baby's lungs. Alexis was born at 34 weeks and was considered premature even though she was a little chunk. I remember when I got the first picture of her I didn't look at it because I wanted to see her in person. After Alexis was born we went home and I slept for a couple hours and then straight back to the hospital. My brother-in-law took me back to the NIUC where Alexis would be at for a while until she had to learn how to suck and eat on her own. She had a FULL head of black hair that she gets from her daddy and her weight was normal for a full term baby even though she was premature. Lexi stayed in the NUIC for a while and her first holiday home with us was Easter (she was born in February). When she came home she still had her feeding tube in her nose but she learned how to eat and was perfectly healthy! I didn't get to hold her until she was home and I was so excited to hold her. Lexi is now 4 years-old and a little diva! She loves Disney princesses, dancing and she had an attitude! She is the funniest little girl and always says the funniest things! She is a huge part of my world and I can't wait to see her grow up.
