Maddy Stories

 We finally bought another fish tank. We'd promised Maddy she could have the money from selling the old fish tank. that got sort of wreck in the fire. to buy a new fish tank. We finally got around to doing it this past weekend. Maddy picked out all the decorations and the fish (a purplish pinkish looking beta). She got a little over enthusiastic about taking care of him. While we were getting the tank set up she decided to pour the water in his plastic bowl out into the tank and then dump an entire bottle of beta food on top of him. In my haste to get the fish into some water, I didn't notice the beta food until it was too late. Thus the brown, cloudy water in the brand new tank. We changed it once and it's looking better but I thin we'll have to change it again.
Lately, Maddy has been into telling stories. Her story from yesterday:

"One time when I was a baby we were outside in the snow. A snow monster came. I was holding a puppy that was Abbey and we ran inside the house and slammed the door. We had to open Christmas presents and we got a toy snow monster that was for a dog. The next day we looked out the window and the snow monster was gone."

Today she said:
"One time when I was a baby I ate a goldfish cracker. The end. It was a short story."

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.
