Laynie is such a joy! She makes the cutest little sounds. Josh and I are adjusting to parent hood. Laynie basically sleeps, eats and poops! She seems more awake and alert during the night (of course!!). I just hope and pray that Taylor is a night owl too! Sure....one thing I've learned about this whole process is that nothing goes as you plan. It's been a little difficult to juggle caring for Laynie, going to see Taylor, trying to sleep when you can, pumping, eating, taking Laynie to her appts, let alone my own. Then, some how remembering to pay the bills on time, call friends and family, I could go on and on. Josh and I keep saying....imagine when Taylor comes home. How will we ever go anywhere!
We've already learned to laugh a lot about things. For example, yesterday we had a "plan" to go see Taylor and get Laynie to her doc appt on time in Vancouver. We got in the car to head out and needed to eat on the run. Josh had one of those cold Starbucks drinks in the glass bottle. He opened it right before we were ready to pull out. He shook the bottle and the lid was loose. We had sticky Starbucks all over the inside of the car. 90% of it went on Josh, but it was a huge mess in the car. At first, Josh was SOOO up-set. I just told him, there's nothing we can do, we just need to get this cleaned up. After we got it all cleaned up and he changed we were on the road to Laynie's appt. At the doctor's office, we just had to laugh. That's all you can do. We worked as a team to get it clean and get Laynie to her appt on time! Later that day Josh detailed our car.
I'm very happy to report that Taylor is doing wonderful. He looks SOOOO good! He's gaining weight, now up to 3lbs, 4.8 ounces and his breathing is amazing! He's actually starting to look a lot like Laynie now. We still don't have much to report about his intestine issue. We'll know more early next week. Docs are hopeful that he won't need the surgery. That's his last hurdle. Then we can focus on bottle feeding, breast feeding and keeping his temp. We can't wait to hear them say he's home bound.
Love,
J & A

We are so happy to hear that all is going so well for you four with Taylor's improvements & Laynie coming home! You are right Angie that you can't cry over spilled milk as the saying goes...or coffee either. Keep that sense of humor handy as you will be needing it for about the next 21 years of parenting! Congratulations on the homecoming!!
Love,
Mike and Lynn
