We are halfway through the 6 weeks today! Hooray! So I feel like now I can start counting down instead of up. Lily is doing really good (knock on wood)! She has been sailing through this so far, but we still have a long way to go. I am learning a lot and meeting some great people. Yesterday was Avery's surgery (the other baby), and it went great. She is now in the PICU and going through all the "day after" stuff. She'll be coming down to where I am soon and then I'll have a friend to chat with all day long. That should make the days go by faster, hopefully! The one drawback we are facing today is that the epidural fell out, well actually I think Lily pulled it out. We had been talking about re-taping it on, and then went to check it and it was out. It was getting to the time of taking it out anyway, so not a big deal. However, she will now start to feel more, which I'm sure how that will affect her wiggling. We have lots of other pain options, so we will be on top of that. I am enjoying spending time with Lily. She will smile at everyone, and I can really get her to laugh sometimes which is the best sound in the world! I am continually thankful for everyone's prayers and well wishes. I am thankful to be in the best hospital in the world, with the best exstrophy experience in the world. Yay for halfway!

so cute! She looks so big with the sippy cup! I love it. I cannot believe that you have three more weeks left! Alright! Way to go! Can't wait to see you laura!
Yeah Laura! It will go by SO fast! Let's hang out a little before I have this baby when you get back! Glad Lily is doing good and that you had a fun visit from your mom, Benny and the boys!
You are going to be such a blessing to Avery's mom! You're an old pro now! :-) Today at lunch, I heard Matt pray for Lily and it made me smile. They pray for her everyday and told me that they pray for her at Johnny's house too. Harmony said they do too at her mom's...so, she is getting lots of prayers from her cousins:-) love you!
yeah for halfway! Wish i could visit with you and Lily~besides the phone! Your boys are being great and they definitely aren't hurting for love and attention! Everywhere we turn there is someone offering their homes, playdates, dinners, etc! People LOVE you here! There are so many prayers going out on your behalf. And enjoy the blessings! It's ok to have things be going well right now...that means our prayers are working! love you!

I'm soooo happy that you've made it halfway . That went by kinda fast, so hopefully the next half will, too. I can't wait to see you and that little Lily again. SHe is getting so big and cuter by the second. Love the sippie as she dozes off. So cute! xoxo
