Mother’s Day
I didn’t think I would be honored by Mother’s Day this year – but the girls were so thoughtful and made cute cards for me with footprints and pictures. Ok, maybe they had help from their nurses, but it was a nice surprise on Sunday morning. The girls were quietly sleeping under their bili-lites, but we hung out for a little while and chatted with Dr. Kaneta (the other neonatologist). He said the girls were still doing well, they adjusted their minimum breaths per minute for Evie, which had been higher since she had started “eating”. Oh, and Evie is eating every 3 hours versus 6 hours. She is handling it fairly well, had a little residual leftover, but filled her diaper this morning! (Aunt Christie will be proud – ew gross) Their bilirubin went down (good), but they are going to keep them under their lights for another day to see if they can keep the trend.

In case you didn't get my voicemail...HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!!
Carrie:
I just wrote a very long message to you regarding all you have been/ are going through, but it was lost as I was not signed up as a Google/Blogger. I'll try to reconstruct my words again soon, but the main thing, the most important thing, is that you, your husband, and your girls, are in my heart--my thoughts--my prayers. Godspeed, keep thee well.

I laughed at your comment about Christie being grossed out about the diaper talk; diapers will be your topic sentence for the next several years~~either what's in them, or what should have been in them. It wasn't that long ago that your mom and I were discussing what's in Christie's diaper! (Ok, it wasn't January '07, it was before that!)
Like I've said before...I've never been so EXCITED about poop! (Joe...maybe, but not me). However, for his satisfaction "Eeew, gross"
I thought about you on Mothers Day Carrie :) Still praying for the girls too
