TYLAR GRACE SORENSEN
Born May 20, 2008 at 1:01 pm
7 lbs. 2 oz, 19.5 inches long

We are so excited to have little Tylar join our family. Because she was breech we had an option of trying to turn her in hopes of a regular delivery. However, after praying about it and having an ultrasound, we didn't feel comfortable in trying to turn her. I am so grateful for the constant companionship of the Holy Ghost. When the doctor finally got Tylar out, we found that the cord was wrapped twice around her neck. She was just fine, but had we tried to turn her I don't know what would have happened.

Additionally, this morning Tylar had a fever of around 101 and has been given several tests and antibiotics in case of infection. The initial test came back normal and it looks like she may just have had a fever because she was wrapped up too tight. Last night was a little rough. She would only sleep for about 30 minute intervals and then cry the rest of the time. The nurse thought that she was probably experiencing gas pains and felt that wrapping her up tight in warm blankets would help relieve the pressure on her tummy. Now she is doing great and finally sleeping! Seriously, it is such a blessing to have these two little girls from our Heavenly Father. We are so blessed!
