9/26-Catching UP

Wow! I am already falling behind on my job.  Yesterday was a tough day because I was sick.  I guess I caught a 24 hour stomach bug in the hospital.  Today is much better though.  I had a sonogram on Thursday and everything was still looking fine.  We have still been monitoring twice a day.  All the nurses say it seems to take him a little while to get going but I think they just catch him during his naps.  The NICU educator came by yesterday and visited with me.  It makes me nervous, but talking about it helped a little.  He answered a lot of questions I had about feeding and bonding that I had some concerns with.  We were suppose to go down there and look around too but they had a baby come in yesterday that they had to work on and it just never happened.  Maybe we will get to go today.  I am so thankful for my doctors.  Dr. Atkinson came by yesterday and we had a good discussion.  I had been getting pretty anxious about everything (since all I have to do is sit here and think about it).  We talked about trusting God.  

I got a 3 hour pass yesterday.  We went to eat and I got a pedicure.  Eating wasn't too great since I had been sick, but the pedicure and the company was awesome!  I get to go again tonight.  I am really looking forward to it because I actually feel like eating this time :)  Thank you for all of your prayers and sweet comments.  Please pray for my ability to understand God is control and that he will see us through all of this.  Also, we ran into Russell Casillas this week and his baby was born really early and is in the NICU here.  He said their baby would be here for six weeks at least.  My thoughts have been with them and wanted you all to lift them up in prayer as well.
