First off we started our house building on Oct 1, 2010. It was a very fun/exciting/frustrating process! We were blessed to have a wonderful contractor who tried to make it as painless as possible. In mid March 2011 we moved into our dream home. We love everything about our home and definitely know it was worth the wait. We have been so blessed as a young couple and do not take lightly the blessings God has given us. This is our life home and we look forward to having our kids grow up here. For those of you who do not know, our home is on family land. My older sister, Deidra, and her husband, Soy, also moved into their home in mid March, which is also on our family's land! My parents will complete their house this week and will be living between Deidra and I! My grandparents have always lived on this land! So finally, we are all on one hill! I am excited and look forward to our children growing up next to grandparents, great grandparents, aunts, and uncles.
On May 7, 2011 at 1:16 p.m. we welcomed Emilia June Hutto into our family. She came into this world weighing 7 lbs and was 20 inches. She is absolutely perfect and we could not be happier. We are truly blessed with both of our children. I was very concerned about Titus and how he would react to Emmy. For any of you who know Titus, you know that he is a Mommas boy all the way! The first week was a little rough just because of everything being so new. Thankfully my parents took Titus home with them every night that week and paid extra attention to him so he would not feel left out! Brad's mom also got to come down for the birth and stay the week after. She was a tremendous help with Emmy and the house. It was definitely different going from having 1 baby to having 2! We have adjusted pretty well I think! Titus loves his baby sister! He wants to hug/kiss/hold her all the time!
When Emmy was 2 weeks old we got a phone call from a nurse in Alabama telling us that Emmy had some abnormal lab results from the hospital. We met with our pediatrician on that Monday and had the labs redrawn hoping it was just a wrong reading. We then got the results back on Thursday which told us that the labs were still abnormal. Our pediatrician met with Brad, me, and my dad that afternoon to discuss the plan. We were all pretty worried and upset, but trusting God. My pediatrician recommended we see a geneticist in Jackson Ms for further testing. Dr Bock, the geneticist, called me that afternoon to set up an appointment for the following day. After talking with him on the phone, I already felt better. Brad, Emmy, and I went to Jackson this past Friday. We met with Dr Bock for about an hour. He did more lab tests and told us we would know some results that afternoon and others would take a few weeks. We were very impressed with his optimism, expertise, and professionalism. He called us on our way home to tell us that one of the tests was back and was actually a little better than before! Praise the Lord! We were praying they would stay stable and they did! We are still waiting on some results and we will still have to continue to do lab work for the next few months. We ask that you pray with us that our baby girl will be healed! We know that God is in control and all things are possible through him! We also firmly believe that God does not make mistakes and that no matter what Emilia June Hutto is perfectly and wonderfully made! I am usually a worrisome person, but I can honestly say that I have a peace that only God can give about the situation. So again, I ask that you believe with us and pray for a healing.
Well that's a pretty long post, but I did want to catch you up on the major things that have happened over the past year! We are enjoying our Memorial day by doing nothing! We hope everyone is well and enjoying the holiday weekend!
