Our Friday the 13th Valentines Day



We celebrated V-day yesterday to avoid the crowds. Originally we were going to go to breakfast this morning, but Aaron got a coupon for buy and entree get and entree free at TGI Friday's so we went yesterday for lunch instead. That place would have been pricey without the coupon! I had chicken and shrimp and Aaron had fajitas. We came back home for a little while and then walked down to Chick FilA to get the free snack they were giving away. Turned out to be brownies. Yum! Then we went and got Aaron a haircut. He has been needing one for weeks. Then in the evening we went to Pride and Prejudice at the Greater Lewisville Community Theatre. We both really enjoyed it. It was opening night so there were a few rough spots but all in all they did a good job. The people who played Mr. and Mrs. Bennett were especially entertaining. They did a really good job. Going to plays is not something we often do, so it is kind of funny that that was the first of two plays we'll attend this month. At the end of the month we are going to see my cousin (in-law) in AIDA. It is a musical based on the music of Elton John (I think). Anyway, it was a very fun and relaxing day.
A couple of days ago I notice a daffodil blooming in our flower bed. I forgot I planted those last year. It was a nice surprise to say that spring is coming.
No more word really on the hospital situation. Dr. Cruetzmann called me on Wed. to say that he had talked to Dr. Alberts and he was okay with Plano Presbyterian but that they were still waiting to hear back from the neo-natologist there. So we are still in limbo. I am trying not to worry too much about decisions we'll have to make until we find out if the neo-natologist is okay with us going there. If she is not then I won't have a choice to make.
Happy Valentines Day to everyone!

I noticed our Daffodils are starting to come up. So you are a couple weeks ahead of us.

Hey! I have that same TGI Fridays gift certificate! Just need to find someone to go with me! :-) Sorry that I didn't get to meet up with you guys about the books, hopefully this weekend for sure. I'm calling the DLF today to see about volunteer applications or whatever. I'll let you know! Have a great week!

I am jealous! Daffodils already! We are still in the freezer. I think you are definitely starting to look pregnant. I noticed the sleeveless top. Must be warm there. Can't wait to get there to soak up some of that beautiful sunshine and HEAT!

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 the

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.
