I can't believe it's Christmas!

Well, Almost

Everything here is done, wrapped, and ready to go.

I thought I had food all ready, and then I remembered that my parents are coming here Chrismtas eve, and I need to make snacks. And I have no snacks! So we are going to Gerrod's family Chrismtas thing tomorrow, and I will brave the grocery store for a few minutes to pick up a few things! That's it for me!

Other than that

Spencer is great! He likes to eat now, and is sleeping so well. He is alert though, and he loves to watch TY and Olivia play and the Christmas tree fascinates him! He just stares at it!

Olivia has a double ear infection, poor chicklet. She is on anitbiotics, and is, as of now, sleeping a hundred times better and in a much better mood!

TY is not sick (that is a miracle) and is loving every minute of his brother. Our days are filled with "can I hold Spencer, can I feed him, help with a bath, etc" It is so great!

Gerrod and I are so very thankful this holiday season! We are so very lucky!!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you!!

Home Sweet Home

We've been here a few days now, and it's been great!

Gerrod has been home with me, which is so completely awesome!

Spencer is learning the ropes here. He hates to have his body washed, but he loves to have his hair washed! Go figure!

He is doing a pretty good job of sleeping. He has some gas issues, so he does much better on his tummy while laying on someone than in his bed. He tried his swing a little tonight too, and he seemed to like it pretty well!

The kids are loving him, Ty especially, Livy still doesn't get it. She does give him hugs and kisses. TY is on cloud nine. He just LOVES him! Wants to hold him, feed him. Asks questions about his day while he is at school! It is wonderful!

I am a very tired mama, but also a very happy one!

I also have to thank all the people who have sent us lovely gifts, phone calls, food, etc. Like our friends the Baldwins who dropped off food and gifts for the kids. Or the McDermott's with food and gifts. Or my wonderful online friends like Jeanne with her outfit and special Scrapbook stuff, or Robin with ehr special Scrapbooks goodies! We are all very lucky, and very thankful!

We are heading HOME

I am so excited, I can't wait to get there!

My bags are packed, we are just waiting on Daddy and the kidlets with the transportation.

It will be so good to get home. I have missed TY and Olivia so much.

My kid funny for the day is that Olivia decided baby doll needed a bath, in the toliet.

Baby doll had to go bye bye.

She wasn't a washable baby doll.

Olivia was pretty proud though!

Thanks to everyone for following us and thinking good thoughts for us. We all really appreciate it!

Spencer's first day

Went well

Gerrod went home with the camera, so there are no new pictures.

Because of my friend Katie, his nickname in NICU is Zorro. She really wanted us to name him that.

His Blood sugars are great, his Temp is doing good on it's own

We are watching for Jaundice.

My BP isn't the best, and I am in some pain. BUT I am up, dressed, and blogging!

Heading out in a few to feed the man!

Thanks for thinking about us!!

Gerrod knows all this stuff

I wish I could do that!
