So the other night Greg wanted to find Kaylee a new room because her bassinet seems huge for her ( not to mention that she is the loudest sleeper) and he found the perfect fit. So we tried Kaylee's new home out to see how she liked it. As you can tell, yes that is a dollhouse and she is on the top level of the doll house. It was so cute. She just hung out. Don't worry Greg let her back in her bed later.

So you can see how much Kaylee is growing in this next picture, she moved up to the baby bath chair that you normally use when they come home. In the second picture it is of her in our bathroom sink where she got her baths the first few weeks she was home. Good job Kaylee your getting big.


This picture I love because it shows how small she really is. She got this stuffed lady and the tramp as a coming home gift from her big brother and sister and look how she is just a little bigger than the dog.

We are loving having her home. I forget how much work newborns are and how they love to eat all the time. The kids keep asking me when she can eat their food and when they can pick her up. I keep telling them when she's ALOT bigger and older, maybe when she's 2! Before we know it that time will be here.

Sean's Graduation from Preschool

Well its hard to believe that my little boy is all done with preschool. Today he graduated from preschool and next fall he'll be going to kindergarten and he is so excited. My baby boy is really big now and some day he wont hug me or hang with me anymore, but Ill enjoy all his love now before he's too cool for his mom. He has made some really good friends at preschool and loves playing with all of them. Sean talks non stop about going to kindergarten and how fun it will be. We love you Sean and so proud of you for doing so good in school.

Brianna's 3rd Bithday

So it seems like just yesterday that Bri was born and now she is three. She acts like she it 16 but so little. Since Kaylee has come home she has been trying to be a little mom the whole time. Brianna asked for a dancing party for her birthday. So we went up to Greg's parents house and had a karaoke party. It was so cute. Bri got two Ariel dresses and she loved them, and she wore the dresses the whole time she was having her dance party. Also she had a barbie cake and it was funny because the cake almost looked exactly like her dress she had on. She got a barbie computer and princess scooter. She has loved them so much, its so cute. Happy Birthday.

Kaylee Made it Home









We are so excited after two very long months Kaylee has come home. I thought I was excited but the kids have been ecstatic. They cant stop touching her holding her or constantly checking on her. It is so cute. I love it. They have been great helpers, even at bath time. Kaylee is keeping us busy, but it is so nice to have her home. Thanks for every ones prayers. We love you Kaylee.

Happy 5th birthday Sean!!


















I can't believe he's getting so old. He's going to start school this fall and it seems like he just had his first birthday. He's so cute we had our families out for his birthday and we all went to the park and did face painting, balloon toss, and flying kites. He had so much fun. As you can see he is a great artist. He painted everyones face but his own. I love to see how creative he is. So Sean has moved on from Batman and now he loves Lego star wars or ninjas. I'm sad because I'm not a Lego fan at all I'm dreading the mess the legos will make and I don't know how to put them together. But he wanted them so much that he was praying for them so I gave in and all he got was legos this year and even had a cool Lego cake. Happy birthday Sean we love you.

Kaylee sees her brother and sister







Hey everyone, just wanted you to know that after a month of seeing pictures of her, Sean and Brianna finally met their sister. They were so excited to finally see her. They only got to seeher through a window but it was so cute. Kaylee didn't really know what was going on. Kaylee is up to 2.5 lbs and hopefully start eating this week. Thanks for everyone's thoughts and prayers.

Kaylee May McClellan






So, some of you may already know, but last week on March 16th baby Kaylee decided to join our world. She was born at 29 weeks weighing in at 1lb 12oz. It's kind of a long story so bear with me. We knew she had CMV which is an infection and was really small for her gestational age but just when we thought things were going good and she kept growing according to ultrasounds I ended up getting Pregnancy Induced Hypertension or PIH and swelling really bad last weekend. I felt so sick. So because Rachel had PIH with Kyler I decided to have Greg check my blood pressure and sure enough it was elevated but I was still in denial and thought everything would be ok. So Tuesday afternoon I went to see my OB hoping to be sent home on bed rest but instead got told to pack up and head to a different hospital where they could do a ultrasound and do my labs. Greg was at work and I had both kids as we headed to the next hospital to do the ultrasound. Good news there is the baby looked great and was in no distress, but my body was not agreeing. My blood pressure was still up and my labs came back looking bad. So I called Greg right away to come pick up the kids, got a shot of steroids to help the babies lung develop and shipped off to another hospital in San Diego where they have a NICU that can take such small babies. When I got to the hospital everyone was suited up and ready to go to deliver the baby. Needless to say, I'm freaking out! I'm trying to get a hold of Greg to come back and all the while I'm getting poked and probed. Greg was awesome, he woke up the kids at ten o clock at night and took them to our great friends who let the kids stay the night and Greg came and joined me. On March 16th at 12:20 am baby Kaylee was born at 1 lb 12oz 13 inches long. Once they warmed her up she started to cry and fuse and move around. So they took her back to NICU and put on an a little machine in her nose to just give her a little oxygen and pressure to help her breath. They all are saying she's doing amazing for how little she is and how many weeks she is. We lucked out and got to hold her day two of her life because she did so well. I stayed at the hospital driving my nurses crazy for about two days before asking to be released home. Greg and I decided that I'm the worse patient in the world and hate hospitals. The kids were excited to have me home but a little confused on where their baby sister was. Were hoping in six to eight weeks if all goes well she can come home. So for now Greg and I are trying to drive down to San Diego a couple times a week to visit with Kaylee and be there for her. Thanks for every one's prayers and help with watching our kids, you are all life savers.
