Hello.
Today is Saturday, November 6th. I just wanted to take a minnute and thank all of our family and friends.
We are so blessed to have so many wonderful people in our lives. It has been three weeks since we had our baby. We named her Hallie Ann Roessler. She was the sweetest spirit. It was a peacful and spiritual expierience having her and St. Lukes took wonderful care of us.
We have to thank all of those that have had and still have us in your thoughts and prayers. We would not have been able to get through this difficult and very sad time without them. We are healing and doing better. Everyday gets a little better, but there are still days that we are sad. We are so thankful for our support system and everyone that has sent gifts, flowers, cards etc. We feel so loved and blessed and we are so lucky to have all of you in our lives. We miss our little girl, but we know that she is in the best hands possible. We are excited to be with her and to have the chance to raise her one day. I know that God has a plan, if only we could see it now. Abe and I are getting through this time with our faith and our love for one another. We are growing closer than ever and we know that we will be with our baby again.
Thank you everyone for your continued thoughts and prayers. We are so blessed and feel your warmth everyday.

Love,
Kara, Abe, & Hallie Roessler

Baby update: Thursday October 14, 2010

2010-10-14T08:22:00.000-07:00

Its Thursday morning. We went to the Dr. Tuesday and he told us that the baby was too sick and she would not make it. She is now making me sick too. At this point the Dr. said the best thing to do would be to get her out as soon as possible so she doesnt continue to make me ill or I get worse.
I am going in today for a procedure and a test. Then tomorrow morning I will be enduced and have the baby. She will most likely not be born alive. Her heart is not working right and there is so much fluid that she is really sick. It has been a very emotional, sad couple of days. I know that this baby will be ours forever. I know she is perfect and doesnt not have to go through the challenges we do on earth. That she will go directly to the celestial kingdom and one day, Abe and I will be able to raise her. We dont have a name picked out yet, and we dont think we will be doing a funeral service. There is just so much to think about and not knowing because we have never been here before. We are sad and need all the support and prayers of friends and family we can get. This is a really hard time for us and we will get through it, it will just take time. We know God has a plan and we have faith. However, we are still really sad. Thank you everyone for all your thoughts and prayers. Please keep them coming as we go through this today and tomorrow.
Love,
Abe and Kara

Baby update

2010-10-06T09:14:00.000-07:00

Hello all. Thanks for visiting our Blog.
I wanted to try and keep you all in the loop on what is going on with our baby girl. I thought this would be the best way to do it. As many of you know, she has a heart defect. The right ventricle is not working properly and has not developed correctly. This is causing fluid around the lungs which is scary and not normal at all.

We went to the Specialist on Monday the 4th. He did an ultrasound and didnt like what he saw. He said that the baby's heart is beating at a lazy pace and that there is more fluid around her lungs and it has spread to her stomach.
Then, Tuesday we went to the Pediatric Cardiologist. He spent a few hours with us. He took picutres of the heart and told us everything that was going on. What he came to was: that the Left Ventricle looks better than it did a few weeks ago. It seems to be functioning better. But the Right Ventricle is not working like it is supposed to and the pulmenary valve opposite that is thick and not working correctly. He saw things that he could explain, but he could not give us a diagnosis. We dont know why this is happeneing, but it is not normal and not good.
Please pray for our little girl! She is a fighter and she can be healed! Her family and parents love her very much!
We see the specialist again on Tuesday and get the results of the amniocentesis test. I will update you all again with anything they tell us. As for now, it is a waiting game. We are hoping for the fluid to go down, and lessen and the heart to pick up the pace.

Love,
Kara and Abe Roessler

Kick in the crotch

2010-10-05T09:09:00.000-07:00

I would like to kick a few things in the crotch on this rainy Tuesday. Here's to Rebecca and Kate Christensen for getting me on this!

1. Crying until your eyes are swollen shut when you wake up the next moring

2. Not knowing things you want answers to

3. Slow drivers in rush hour

4. Flies that think October is their invitation inside

5. forgetting to DVR a show that I wanted to watch

That is all for now.. I would like to kick those things in the crotch today! THANKS!

My obsession of Hot Air Balloons! Is it normal?

2010-09-21T14:38:00.000-07:00

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Hot Air Balloons! We had a festival here at the beginning of the month and I really went crazy with the pictures! I am terified of heights and would never really want to go up in one. But I do love to look at them! Who doesnt love giant colorful balloons on a beautiful Idaho morning? Even Jaxon, my 3 year old nephew got up to go see them with us. He loved them too! Something so good and happy about Hot Air Balloons! Thank you for giving me something to look forward to Boise!
Love,

Kara
PS... I found out that Hot Air Balloon photos are the second most popular to take after weddings!!

Kick in the crotch!

2010-05-17T15:40:00.000-07:00

Kick in the crotch Monday

Who likes Monday's? I used to, simply because I didn't have class on that day, and I wore sweats. Every single Monday was Sweat Pant Monday. It was a beautiful thang, and I got many people to join me in a day filled with comfortable bliss. But now that I'm a workin' gal, I can't "stick it to the man" anymore by wearing sweats all day. Today, "the man" was owning me in my work clothes. Tonight, I'm owning "the man" by kicking him square in the crotchal area.

Things I want to kick in the crotch today:

1. Waking up so early it's still dark outside

2. Eating something super unhealthy and feeling guilty about it after

3. People who have Pink Eye or a gross cough and still come to work/school, GO HOME ALREADY!

4. Ingrown toenails, the bain on my existence

5. Cubicles

6. Nascar

7. Nascar fans

8. People saying Nascar is a real sport, as if

9. People who put mufflers on their cars/trucks/bronco's to make them louder

10. Really loud motorcycles, particularly bullet bikes

11. Having to wait forever to be seated at a restaurant

12. Cold french fries

13. People who vote entirely based upon political party, not the best person for the job

14. Mosquito's

15. Rush Limbaugh

16. Traffic

What is chapping your ars this week? We want to hear about it.

Long weekend

2010-03-26T07:40:00.000-07:00

I am excited because I get off early today and then I dont have to work on Monday! YAY!

I love it! Too bad I have to work on homework, but it will still be nice to spend some time with my hubby.

I wish the weather would get nice and spring would find its way to us! I am so tired of this cold. I ran last night and the wind about blew me over! Stinking March weather! Oh well... I have to do homework anyway, right? Okay, well I am going to go now, but I just wanted to update my blog since I had not in a while! Happy day to all!

Try

2010-03-09T13:45:00.000-08:00

I try not to complain on my posts. I like to only share postitive things. But I am having a rough week.
School is crazy hard. Whoever though online classes were a good idea? They are HARD and a lot of work and quite frankly, I just don't have the discipline this semester. Work is great. Home is great... but finding time to do everything in a day is hard and I am tired. I am glad that sun is shining, but I am upset that the wind is so cold and I am soooooooooooo over this cold that I have had for 24 days now. Blah!!!

School

2010-03-01T08:55:00.000-08:00

I have not updated in a few days. But I really dont have anything to say. So instead of saying something stupid... I am just going to not say anything. Except that I really dislike school this semester. Philosophy is hard online and I am not gaining anything from it. Not learning a thing. Teaching yourself is harder than I figured it would be. And the context of this class is difficult. I guess I will just work really hard to try to make up for poor test grades with the Global Topic Paper. Note to Self: Online classes are not the best choice just because they seem so.

Stella-The Beer or the Dog?

2010-02-22T14:34:00.000-08:00

Oh Course! The DOG! Though Stella is the name of a beer, it is also the name of my pride and joy! She is spoiled rotten, but the cutest thing in the world! She is always happy to see me when I get home! I love her unconditional affection! My dad once told me this: If you put your dog and your wife/husband in the trunk of your car and open it later, who do you think will be happy to see you? Yes, funny and disturbing at the same time...but it would totally be the dog!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOVE DOGS!

What is a post without a picture?

2010-02-22T11:09:00.000-08:00

I feel like its a craigslist ad without a picture.
Would you buy something that you couldn's see first? I think not! So who wants to read a boring blog with no photos? Well... I am boring anyway. I am sure most of my fellow bloggers are really entertaining with their stories! I have not quite got that far yet!

Even if it has nothing to do with the post!

I had am amazing time watching this Collin Ray Hartman play volleyball yesterday. He is so good and its so great to watch good volleyball. Love you Weeds!

2010-02-22T10:49:00.001-08:00

I miss the summer heat and the Bronco games!
Most of all, I love these people!

Miss you Shanny

2010-02-22T09:17:00.000-08:00

Shannen O. This is for you. I miss you. I hope you are getting aquatined in Australia and loving it! I wish it was not so expensive and I would come visit you. I also wish I didnt hate flying, and I would come visit you! I have not been doing very good with Lent. I have not really given up my deserts at all. I think that would help with the whole trying to lose weight thing! hahahhaa! I am taking Weeds under my wing until you get home. Someone has to fill my void. Love your boots. I have had more compliments on them then I can count! You may have to help me find a pair when you get back! Abester and I watched Colin play in the 4s tournament yesterday. It was fun. I have to say that it was more fun than playing becuase we sat with Mark and Bobbie and we ate and laughed and it was good times! MISS YOU GRACER!
