Sunday Update

Laurana- is off everythign but her IV. Which is in the top of her head and looks like a little hat. We got there at 12 and they had moved her to a cart crib rather than the table where the monitered her all the time. They let me feed her, which went better. but still having a little trouble. then the dr. came to see us. They are moving her. she is being moved from the NICU up to pediatrics. Brad and I are going to pack a bag and spend the night with her, feeding, and taking care of her under nurses supevision. In hte morning htey are going to give her the last of her antibiodics and check her Jaundice level. As long as the Jaundice doesn't go up (it has been steady for two days) we will get to take her home on monday.

The night went great. she had several great feedings, and didn't need as much bottle (my milk) to fill her belly. However at the 3 am feeding she didn't want to feed, all she wanted to do was sleep. I think if hte nurse hadn't woken her she would have slept for an hour or two more before she woke up and and wanted to eat.

THe nurse just told us this morning that her jaundice level went down by like .6 so that is great, and we should get to take her home. I am supposed to see the lactation consultant this morning. we have to get her pictures taken for the hospital, and there is paper work and waiting for hte dr. to do rounds nad do paper work. so we will most likley be here for a while, but we shoudl all be home this evening. right now I am up while brad sleeps,but I think in a little while, we are going to trade, and I am going to take a quick nap while he watches the baby.

Annevsary's and baby firsts

Image
Okay, let see, our 4th annavsary was this week. We have been married four years. It feels a little longer. I guess we have just packed alot into it and that makes it seem longer. I am really very happy/glad, that I married brad. He has been supportive when I have been flipping out. He takes care of me, and needs me, he is calmed by me when he is flipping out, he has created the cutest little bear with me, we have shared laughs, football games, Musicals, movies, TV shows, books, basketball games, tears, hardship, lack of funs... in short, the better and the worse, the richer and the poorer, the sickness and the health, alaughter and the sorrow, I married a very specail man and I am truly blessed because of it. I can't thank God enough that He saved bard for me. As for First, this week the baby slept all night for the first time. We fed her at 9:00 pm, put her down and she doesn't get up til around 7:30. (of course if we get up early and start moving around she wakes up too) but ...

Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Sanity

Okay so this week has been a little wild. Between getting ready for testing at school. Trying to keep students who are ready for summer focused. PMSing, Brad having his huge action research proposal due yesterday and many other little things, I have felt just the slightest bit overwhelmed. I will say that Sanjya finally got voted off American Idol. He couldn't sing, coldn't dance and there and there was really no reason he made it this far above and beyond that people wanted to see what crazy thing he would do each week. Well finally they got it through their heads that he coudln't sing and sent him packing, me and Simon Cowl were thrilled. Please continue to pray for brad, his feet and shins are still bothering him. wE think it is shin splints but we are not sure. He is giving them the 2-4 week rest period that shin splints need and if they don't get better he will go to the dr. as I mentioned above, testing starts next week, here in teh state of Kentucky, and th...
