Maddy's Babies

 Meet baby Jabs. Yes, you heard right, Jabs. Back in January when Maddy had her surgery, she got this baby as a gift in the hospital from Scottish Rite. This baby lay around unwanted and neglected for months. Then, one day, Maddy decided that she liked this baby and she named her "Jabs".
 Jabs is not Maddy's only child. These are her "babies". She asked me to take her picture with them. No one could sit still. Most of the babies don't have names but she has a white bear she named Jonah. That was the first stuffed animal to ever get a name besides "bear" or "elephant", etc.
 The other day she was playing with her babies and I walked into the room and she said, "There are two mommies." She pointed to herself and me.
During her few moments of spare time from caring for all her babies, Maddy has gotten into the new hobby of painting her nails. She got some kid's nail polish for her birthday and she has been using it lately to paint her nails..............................and everyone elses's. Fortunately, it washes right off.

Does she ever see a small something next to a big something and refer to it as a momma and baby? Mikali would always see a small chair and a big chair and say, "there is a momma and baby".

It is interesting how that mothering instinct is so strong in little girls.

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.
