Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy

That is a quote from The Greatest Game Every Played and it describes our visit to the endocrinologist and the lab work after yesterday. Maddy weighed in at 13 lb 4 oz but they weighed her with all her clothes and diaper on so she probably wasn't anywhere near that big. Still she is on her own little growth curve. We went to the lab upstairs at the hospital and the lady up there was great. Even though Maddy's arms were bruised from the hack job the lady did on her the day before, this lady was able to get her the first time. She was courteous, tried to make Maddy and us as comfortable as possible and was helpful in all ways. It is amazing the difference a person's attitude can make. Great reminder for me to watch myself in what I'm doing each day. So we await lab results to see if everything still looks good and get an idea about what is going on with Maddy's calcium levels. Prayers about that are much appreciated. My grandma did well with her surgery yesterday and will be in the hospital recovering for a couple of days. My papa had his scan done but we won't know results for a bit. Hope everyone gets to get out and enjoy this beautiful day. I'm soon headed to the library to get some books for the paper that's due in two weeks. :(

Getaway to Ticks Bend....I Mean Beavers Bend State Park

Back in April, we decided we needed to do a short family getaway after the semester was over. The last time we'd been on vacation just to vacation (not going to see family in CO) was when we went to San Antonio when Maddy was 3 months old. We found Beavers Bend State Park close to Broken Bow, OK and decided to go there. We booked a cabin in the state park and eagerly awaited the day we could take off for our getaway. We left on Sunday afternoon and stayed through Tuesday afternoon. It was short, but so fun and relaxing. We had no computer and no cell phones while we were up there. We just got to enjoy being around each other and the beautiful scenery. We built a fire and roasted some marshmallows. Also popped some jiffy pop. Aaron had never done one of those before. This is a 100 year old cabin they had at the visitor center. I like the mud chinking ( I think that's what it's called). A couple named Comma and Mabel lived in the cabin when the CCC was building t...

Another Sonogram

We went to the high risk pregnancy doc today for another sonogram. This time he could see all four chambers of the heart, the pulmonary valve, etc. In his words it looked "dramatically better". He feels there is still some slight compression on the heart and that we need to continue watching it. As of now he cannot see anything that is causing it and the MRI did not see anything either. He also felt that the hands were okay. They are not clenched fists at least as he first thought, meaning that the fingers aren't overlapping each other. Her hands are still in fists and she won't open them but he said he has had other babies that have not opened their fist in the sonogram but the hands have been normal at birth, so we still have a lot of hope for those little hands. He was able to get a better look at the face today, no cleft palate, so that is a huge blessing. The feet are still concerning. They are definitely clubbed but she is also not moving them. She is moving her...

More Miss Maddy pics

Here are some more pictures of Maddy. I know everyone is eager for pictures. We got to put her first little outfit on last night. She got out of the incubator bed and into a regular bassinet so she can now wear clothes and have her own blankies and stuff. It is great.
