Still here....still rockin!

Hello everyone, I am writing this as mommy is up at the hospital, and Dad is hanging out with Piper while she naps.  It's also worth noting that Piper is eagerly awaiting waking up so we can take a trip to the bike shop.  Piper wants a bike...she said Please....so pretty much I will do whatever she asks...I am weak...I know.

Maizy is doing great, she got her staples out today so more progress is being made.  She is also starting to slowly pick up this breastfeeding thing which is awesome for many reasons, mainly that formula is processed nastiness...and her formula poops are terrifying.  So the less of those I get to deal with the better!!

During rounds today the Neonatologist told us that basically we are just waiting for Maizy to latch on and feed and to gain some weight!  Do I dare venture to say that maybe....just maybe the end is in sight!

Piper got to go swimming and hang out with Quincy and Harper Long this last week, she sure had a great time and from what I have been told Piper was introduced to the wonderous world of Barbie while hanging out with Quincy and Harper.  A big thank you to Raegan Long for letting Piper come swim and hang out for the day...it's much appreciated.

Also a big thank you to Vince, Kelly, Miles and Macy Grisell who met us at the coffee shop yesterday to visit and also loaded us up with a care package from Trader Joes!  You guys rule.  Vince and I have been friends since way back in highschool when we dominated on the gridiron...okay mostly we dominated the sidelines, but we got in on special teams.  Vince is one of those life long friends that all of us would be lucky to have, so a big thanks to the Grisell's as well!

Piper is doing great, and keeping dad on his toes.  Since Mom is trying to nurse Maizy more so we can work on getting home, Piper and I have had some good bonding time.  For example the other day while playing with play-doh in our room at the Ronald McDonald House, I told her I loved her, she looked up at me and said "I love mommy" so I responded by saying "but daddy loves Piper" Piper responded with "I love Maizy, I love donut shop, I love coffee shop....." fair enough.  I am relativly certain that I am right after coffee shop.

Dad also learned that Pipers cute little Under Armour skirt is a tad too big for her when we walked into the hospital yesterday and just was we walked up to security, her skirt fell down around her ankles.  However I am proud to say I did remember to put underwear on her so some of the embarassment was avoided. 

Piper and I take regular early morning walks to the coffee shop about a half mile from the hospital, Piper loves their chocolate milk and coffee (coffee cup full of water).  They know her there so she is a pretty big deal.  So a big shout out to the Filling Station Coffee Shop for being awesome to us every time we are there! 

All in all, things are going well.  Thank you for the continued kind words and thoughts, they are all very much appreciated! 

Life is Good!
