hey everyone

hey everyone, im sorry its been so long. So where to start......i guess ill start back in dec when we posted last.

well dec was fun, everything with kadee's pregnancy was still going well. every doctor visit came with great new on how Makalee was growing. i think by the end of dec we had almost finished up the nursery for our lil girl. like normal Christmas came and went, kadee was able to come up to work and visit me.

The month of Jan brought new changes to the Kidd family. Even though Makalee wasn't due till mid Feb, well it was decided that she would not wait till then. Even with Kadee eatting right and only gaining a healthy amount of baby weight, 2 weeks into jan her bp when from the 116's/76's to 174/108. after talking with our ob that night we packed up our bags and headed off to sparrow. over the next few days we waited and talked with our doctors to discuss or game plan. finally on jan 19th after kadee being on mag sulfate for what seemed like forever and trying to induce the choice was made, makalee would be born tonight. now the only issue that was brought up was the fact that makalee would be going to the nicu due to the mag sulfate. sitting in the or with the surgical staff and the NICU staff i remember talking with kadee and the staff, it was so relaxed and as if no one had a care in the world. as the procedure began kadee and I prayed that everything would go smooth and thanked God that we would see our daughter soon. being the medical nerd that i am i so watched the whole event. i can remember when to ob looked at me and said she was going to pull makalee out. as her little head and body came out of kadee i couldn't believe it, she was scowling and looked just like kadee, holy crap she looked like kadee. after a brief look at her mom makalee was given to the nicu staff who than asst her and then had to c-pap her due to her apnea as a result of the mag sulfate. i must say even with all the knowledge of how the mag was effecting her and causing the apnea for the first time in my life i was a total mess. i will say i hid it well cause our doctor said she couldnt even tell i was worried. but come on when your baby is lying in a crib blue not breathing, well your not human if you dont freak out as a parent which is what i was at that time. i was no longer a paramedic looking at someone Else's child, i was looking at my own. it was then at that moment when I realized that the same God who had educated me to help others had educated the doctors and nurses on the nicu staff and my baby was in His hands. before I knew it i was in the elevator walking with the nicu staff taking makalee to the nicu for continued care. so here i am now with my wife down stairs post opp and me now in the nicu with our daughter. after making sure makalee was doing better i then rushed back down stairs to check up and see kadee. i was able to take our phones up there and get some pics of our daughter. just as soon as i was told by kadee she was fine i was back upstairs to makalee.

i will say that i have taken a lot of crap from my friends because i didnt cry right away or because i wasnt that emotional during or deliver, well to that I say you have a wife post opp and an apnic baby in the nicu and tell me when you would fit in some you time in. after a few hrs kadee was let out of post opp and was back in our room, however she was still another 24hrs before kadee could see makalee due to the mag still in her system. now with kadee doing great and maklaee doing better per the nicu nurses it was time to try and sleep. for part 2 stay tuned.

Been too long

Ok, Matt and I have both had our own blogs as well as we started this family blog and it seems we have forgotten about it. We actually were talking about it the other day and I said to him, wow I guess you should get on that!!! :) So I am going to update it today!
Currently I am sitting at work on my lunch 31 weeks pregnant, I never thought I would have the wonderful(and I use this term very loosely) opportunity to be pregnant.... of course if you ask me on a daily basis my response to being preg will never change it until its over and that I don't like it! I can't wait for the end result to meet and hold our wonderful baby GIRL(another time to explain that one) Makalee Lynn Kidd, however I am ready for the shots and to not feel like crap on a daily basis to be over! We are due in Feb and I keep praying for my sanity and for Matts that we get there and get there fast!!!!! :) Im not sure whats all happened since the last post but I will tell you about Frankie! Frankie is our kitty, he is lovable, adorable and if super friendly... to the point of lack of loyalty...expecially if you have food lol :) I will try and remember to post a picture of him this evening. So I am going to try and make it my goal to keep this blog up to date and drag you all with me as we are waiting for Makalee too show up!! :) Talk to ya all soon!
Love, Kadee

Almost done

Hey everyone as the title lead on about, i have 2 chapters in my Anatomy and Physiology to do. After that I have a week off before my classroom portion of Paramedic starts. I am surprised at how much I have learned in the last 3 weeks while taking this online class. That leads me to my next question. This one will be from Cardiology,(which I think is going to be one of my favorite subjects)

"Where are you most likely to have a M.I on your heart?"
M.I. is a Myocardial Infarction
Thats about it for the Kidd's, we do have a party with the students at church tonight and teaching them has been great. Till the next one later ya'll

I'm Back

So where to start, well I have started classes again and have decided that if I must learn so shall you. Every few days or so I'm going to put up a question or fact that I have learned or found to test your knowledge as well. So today's question has to do with the human body's Chemistry,(ill be nice and at least let you know what kind of question it is)

" on the pH scale, where does Cytoplasm fall?"

Good luck to you all and if the questions seem easy don't worry they wont stay that way for long.

Fire!

Matt was on a training burn for Bath Township Fire!!! I was able to hang out while the burn was going on to take pictures. I took over 100 pics it was a good time, except it was so hot Matt was able to take a ride as a patient in an ambulance, he suffered a heat stroke, so alot a fluid and some time at the hospital and we were good to go.

Meet Boomer!

This is Boomer! He is a 13 month old Australian Cattle Mix with what they think is a little Terrier in him. He is about 23lbs of all muscle, he loves to play with toys and likes to go for walks/runs. He also is very cuddly the cats are still curious of him but he is already trying to play with them!

My boo boo

I fell down the outside steps this morning due to the fact that they were iced over. I made it to the second step before I went down and my elbow caught the fall. I went to work and opened the pharmacy and then when Urgent care was open, I went in for a few x-rays to see if anything was broken. After talking to the doctor I have a really bad bruise and a possible hairline fracture. So I had today off to relax and then I am able to try to go back to work tomorrow!!! So hopefully everything will heal very fast!!!

Blog Candy!

Fire Fighter of the Year!

Yea!!!! We are so proud in our house of Matt and the wonderful job that he does for Bath Township Fire Department!!!!! We had the awards banquet the other night, and to much of Matt suprise his name was called!!!!!(I think he deserves it all the time :D) So congrats Matt on all your hard work!!!! I am so proud of you baby!!!!!!

what has been new......?

So I'm sitting home on a rare day off and realized that even tho we have placed pics up, we hadn't let everyone know what life has been like. So I guess this will be a quick recap in the life of the Kidd's, enjoy.

I would like to start off by saying that we for real have the coolest Life Group at Cedar Street,(L.G.27 if you wanted to know) from our Shepard to the other members man they challenge us in ways that blow out minds. They from being with us through the loss of lil kidd, to work issues, and just every day life stuff we are so blessed to have them in our lives. That said we also have an amazing church family, over the last year we have been able to start and in some cases renew friendships. I have been able to plug in with some new very wise men of God and continue to grow, and also plug in with other that are younger in their walk and help them as I have been helped. We now are praying about where we are to serve in our church, weather that's in worship, drama, or just being greeters in the morn. We have decided to do whatever God wants us to do.(and yes for a select few, i am open to the idea of teaching students.Or whatever else God wants, you 2 are dorks and you know who you are:) So pray with Kadee and I about where he would like us be, thanks much for that.

Next Now then what has been up with the Kidd's outside of church......not much. For real we are kinda boring.with my new job and job up in St.Johns I'm doing like 55-70hr over 6 days. So our day for the most part is me getting up before Kadee heading off to work, texting her all day, and then getting home around 9pm or 7am if its a 24 and sleeping. I will say it hasn't been as fun as we thought, I guess Kadee said it best, I just wasn't expecting you to go from 24hrs a week to 70hrs over night, But we will get through it cause we are the best. That's why along with so many other reasons I love her as I do. She is the most supportive person I could have ever asked for. Even tho we have had some hard times(like everyone else) she has always been there for me. She is so the Peanut to my Butter!!!!!:) So other than that we haven't been up to much. So I thank you all for your time and prayers, see ya till next time
