I know I have been awful at this, I knew I would be! It has been 4 months since my last update. But, since then a lot has happened. On October 20th at 9:26 pm Jason and I were blessed with the arrival of our precious baby girl. Lila Isabella Krol was born weighing 7 lbs 12 oz and was 20 inches tall. After 14 hours of labor we were finally able to hold our sweet baby. I was so overwhelmed with emotions. All I could do is cry! But it was a good cry. I fell in 
love with her immediately and Jason did too. He could not stop smiling. It was so sweet to watch. Later that night little Lila had problems with getting enough oxygen and kept turning blue. They took her to the NICU where she spent the next 4 days. The doctors did a series of tests, brain sonogram, heart echo, blood tests, and it was finally determined that the reason she kept turning blue was because of two reasons- one, she had two small holes in her heart, which closed up eventually, and she had a lot of fluid in her lungs and stomach. They had a tube going into her stomach that they used to get the excess fluid out. They also kept her on an IV through the top of her head. It was the scariest time of my life, but everything is fine now and I am so thankful. I was so angry and sad and emotions that I really can not explain and I pray that I never have to feel like that again. There were other babies in the NICU that were much worse off, there was a tiny baby- only 27 weeks old, that was in a closed incubator. I was very sad for her mom because I can only imagine how much she wanted to hold her little baby. Because Lila had to stay in the NICU and I was being discharged on Thursday, our friend Clarence got us a hotel room 1 mile away from the hospital. I can honestly say that that was the nicest thing that anyone has ever done for me in my entire life. I could not imagine coming home without my baby gi
rl, and he made it so that I did not have to. Not to mention how awful the drive would have been every two hours. We were able to leave on Saturday October 24th and come home as a family. We are home and we are safe and that is all that matters.
