Hello World.

   On May 24, 2010 our wonderful family grew from 3 to 4. We welcomed the newest member of the family Morgan Lee Colvert @ 11:05 am she was 7lbs 4ozs 19.5 inches long. We were full of so many emotions. We had waited 9 months to meet our sweet baby and she was finally here and she was perfect. Our family was complete.

 Our oldest daughter Anna took to Morgan so fast she loved her new baby sister more than you could imagine. Just look at how happy she is holding her new sister. We knew right away that Anna was going to be the best big sister in the world. All I could do was look at my girls and think I am so blessed to have such beautiful happy healthy girls and a wonderful husband who loves us more than anything. Little did we know life was about to become more interesting with a few more obstacles.

Before you leave the hospital now, due to state law your baby has to take a new born hearing screen. We were told before she arrived that most of the babies do not pass and receives a refer on their test, not to be alarmed if this happens that usually with in 2 weeks or so they will pass the test. Morgan was taken for 2 test on the day we were due to leave and was brought back saying they could not get her to pass. I could not help but have this feeling that something might be wrong with her hearing.

I tried to keep reminding myself the nurse said that most babies do fail and get a refer but I could not get past that feeling but I am a worrier.  I had already been cleared to leave at this point and we were waiting on Dr Blair to release Morgan. But she decided she wanted one more test run. We were so frustrated when they did this because they were having to wait on the machine in the NICU to be brought over and then she would be gone for 30 mins to an hour taking the test. All we could think while she was gone was this is so stupid if she did not pass the first two test she is not going to pass the one either. When Morgan was brought back to us we were told she did not pass this one either. If she was to ask for another test tell her no, just follow up with the ENT in 2 weeks.

We started dressing  Morgan  in her clothes to come home in, I had not been told we were released yet but I did not care I was ready to go home it was already after 1:00 in the afternoon. Soon after we started dressing her we were told we could go. I never finished getting Morgan completely dressed. Me and her daddy was mixed with so many emotions and mostly frustration that we just wanted to go home. So we loaded Morgan in her car seat and took a few pictures and our wonderful nurse Lisa took us down to the car. Finally we were headed home to start our new family and Morgan's sister Anna was waiting on us to get home.

  

As we drove off from the hospital we began to talk about Morgan and the possible problem with her ears because she failed all 3 test. We were just hoping and praying that she can here and if she can't that would be ok to we could handle it, it would be a long not so easy road but we would do everything for our baby girl that we could. Inside I was heart broken at the thought of her never hearing my voice if she could not hear, I wanted to cry but I told myself no we don't know anything yet its not time to think about the worst, be strong, but be prepared for whatever the test might show in 2 weeks. I turned to Ashley and said I fell like she will be fine, that she can hear something she seemed liked she startled at some stuff in the hospital and he agreed. He said that he feels she will be fine as well and the he has hopes she will pass the test but will not tell himself she is going to because if she don't it would break his heart so he would stay prepared for what ever the test show.  At this moment I began my prayers to God.
And so our Journey begins.
