Duh, winning! Alright sorry for the Charlie Sheen comment. But really she did do some pretty great things today. A few highlights of an 'up' day, which after a bit of a down day was nice to have:
-getting to have an extended visit with Evelyn.
-being with her and holding her during her ultrasound.
-knowing that she lost only a tiny amount of weight
-hearing from a couple of people that I personally know that have been here and done this.
-actually being encouraged by the staff at the hospital to reach in and bond with her while she is in her incubator.
but best of all, and in the truest since of a photo says it all, Evelyn grabbing hold of my right pinkie finger... every little kid will do it at some point, but to be that tiny and still have an ability to grip is great.
Tomorrow will be a big and moment filled day. Evelyn will meet her Grandpa Rick for the first time. Ricky gets to see his mother, only to find out that she has a new love of her life. I have to go to bed knowing that I am going to work in the morning...so no late night visit of my baby doll. Time for some rest, good night and here's to another day of good tears and big smiles (and a drool spot or two).
Love you Evelyn.
Daddy.
What a magnificent day for all and another planned for today (3/11/11). Sorry you have to head to work that will be difficult but the one positive you have mentioned is that Evelyn is in such a excellent hospital and you have described a very caring staff. It will be oh so bitter sweet for mommy getting discharged, knowing that she is feeling better and her health is no longer in jeopardy but having to leave her sweet daughter will not be easy to step foot out of the hospital. Grandpa Mazdra is very excited to meet his granddaughter and I (Mimi) sent a little Angel to watch over her (and can't wait to see her in person). I am loving reading the blog, it really is great ~ thank you! Keeping all of you in my thoughts and sending nothing but positive energy that way (even if it is over several states). Hugs and kisses to my sweet little Evelyn....
