We have had a wonderful week together so far! Travis was off yesterday and today. He will be off tomorrow also! Yesterday we went to look for a vehicle. The jeep has had it last days we are afraid. There is a company in Salina that has offered us $2000 for it (and they will come get it)! We found a car that we like at their place, but we feel it is still too expensive. We have no idea what to do right now.
Today has definitely been one of those days with the girls! Last night went wonderful with KayLynn! She ate at 8:30 and then stayed awake until 10. She then slept from 10 until 5:30 in the morning!!! It was wonderful......although I did make Travis get up and check on her a couple of times to make sure she was still breathing. The morning was good. Alta went to daycare to play and learn. When she got home, we all laid down for a nap. The "fun" stuff happened then. Sometime during our nap, KayLynn spit up all of her lunch. We didn't hear her and she just went back to sleep. That means that I have no idea how long she was sleeping in her spit up....I felt like a horrible mother! Travis got up (we heard Alta playing) and found that our oldest daughter had pooped in her diaper. Instead of waking us up.....or just leaving her diaper on, she decided to take it off and got poop on her bed, on her floor, and on the doors in her room! So, in short we had to give both girls baths after their naps today! I just went with the flow.....but I think Travis was just a little more.....well......upset. I think he was ready to ship Alta off to boarding school this afternoon.....or at least to a Grandma's house for a LONG time!
We are so looking forward to this weekend! It is state wrestling time! We are not going to Hays this year. We are just going down the road to Salina to watch Courtney coach a few of his boys in the 4A state championship tourniment. KayLynn also gets to meet her Aunt Kelly, Uncle Courtney, and cousin Cael!! We can't wait until they get here......we may get to see Kelly and Cael Thursday night!
A way to keep up with the Noon's....Travis, Nicole, Alta & KayLynn

WOW
I am feeling much better now!!! I really need to get off the computer and start laundry and cleaning. I don't have much motivation except people are wanting to stop by to see KayLynn. This has been one crazy week!! KayLynn was started on antibiotics on the 6th for eye gunk. Then this last week Alta was sneezing all week. We thought it was just sinus stuff. Well, when she got up from her nap on Friday she looked miserable!!! We called and got a doctor's appointment right away. They said that it was pink eye that started as another infection (probably the runny nose) that got transfered to her eye. So now Alta is on antibiotics also. The good news is that since KayLynn is so young she still has some antibodies from me and being on the other medicine, she shouldn't catch what Alta has. Alta doesn't understand why she can't help with KayLynn right now. It is so sweet how much she loves her baby sister. I hope it always stays this way!!! I know I would do anything for my baby sister!
This is Travis' last week home. I am kind of sad. It has been WONDERFUL having him home. I wish we were independently wealthy so we could just stay at home and watch our girls grow up! I would like to do something special just the four of us.....if anyone has any ideas, let me know!! (We have to do it before Friday though.....)
Here is one of the hospital pictures of KayLynn......

A lot has happened.....
Well, the reason there hasn't been an update in a week is because our lives changed and we were really busy!!
Sunday night was full of contractions. They got to be three minutes apart and were that way for about 1 and 1/2 hours. We finally decided to call Sharon to come into town and stay with Alta. We went to the hospital. I got hooked up to the monitors and they were still about every 2 to 3 minutes apart. The nurse asked me what I was dialated to and I told her that Dr. Johnston said a 2 on Friday. The nurse said that I was only at a one. I didn't realize that I could go backwards...haha! Dr. Prendergast was on call last weekend. He said to go ahead and keep me there since we live out of town and he would come in and check on me later that morning (we got to the hospital at midnight). He said that if I didn't progress, they were going to send me home to wait it out some more. Doc came in about 9 on Monday and said that I was dialated to a 2. We were going to have a baby in 45 minutes. I didn't believe that it was happening that fast. I said only 45 minutes.....and the doctor replied that I could wait and be miserable all day and he could do the c-section that night.
Well, they got me going and got all the paperwork signed. KayLynn Grace made her appearence at 10:41 am February 1, 2010. She weighed 7 lbs, 1 oz and was 19 inches long. The c-section went TONS better this time!!! I was awake the whole time. I got to see my littlest girl right after and hold her on my chest.
The recovery has been a rough one. When they put in the spinal block for the c-section, they puncture the sack in your spine. In 99% of cases, that is no big deal. I happened to be in the 1% though. Spinal fluid can leak and cause a nasty headache. I don't like needles....especially in my back. They had given me two options: a blood patch or IV caffeene. I chose the caffeene. They said it works 50% of the time. Well, I wasn't in that 50% so I ended up having the blood patch done. It hurts.....I wouldn't wish that anyone would have to have one done! The blood patch is supposed to work 98% of the time. Well, it worked for about 24 hours. I had gone home and woke up on Friday with a headache that made me throw up everytime I sat up. I went to my doctor's appointment to get my staples out. Dr. Prendergast sent us to get another blood patch done. They say this one is supposed to work. I have been doing a little better. I can now sit up and not have a headache. I still can't walk around without my back hurting, but at least I don't have a horrible headache all the time!
Enough about me.....everyone else is doing wonderful!!! KayLynn is beautiful! She looks so much like her big sister did when she was born...pictures comming soon. She is a great baby, eating well and sleeping well. She has a dimple on her right side just like Alta.
Alta is a proud big sister. She is so excited to have a baby living with us. At the hospital Grammie(Sharon) let her use the digital camera to take a picture by her self. The picture only got the top of KayLynn's head and the bottom of my head. Grammie and Grandma(Cindy) went to get the pictures printed. They printed Alta some of her very own. She was so excited to be able to show off pictures of her baby sister, especially the picture that she took all by her self. The other night Alta was mad that we made her go to bed without letting her kiss KayLynn goodnight becasue KayLynn was already sleeping. Just after we got Alta tucked in KayLynn woke up crying because she was hungry. We could hear Alta crying in her room Travis went in to check on her and all she would say is "baby". We ended up having to bring her out and show her that KayLynn was alright that I was holding her before she would settle down. She is going to be a very protective big sister. Alta got a big sister present of a pictur album and she carries it all the time showing off pictures of "her baby".
