Nice Surprise Sat. 9/17/2011 @ 7:16pm

It was a nice surprise today, when we walked in to see Gracie this morning, she was off the cpap and on the nasal canular!! Big girl...now you can really see her face.. sure, it happens after I just posted a few pictures of her on facebook! She's soo cute! The nurses are saying she looks like Mommy... okay, maybe just a little! :)

She had such a great day!! Definitely getting bigger, and hopefully more good days are ahead! She started on 3.5cc/hr of feeds today; she weighs 2lbs. 15oz. (so maybe the big 3lb day will come tomorrow).. She is really starting to fill out & look more like a baby.. you know what I mean.

I got to hold her today too..for about 45 minutes & her oxygen levels remained in the high 90's & 100; she had a fantastic day!

Gary & I came back to the RmcD house for lunch, and I had the rest of last night's pumpkin soup.. OMG..soo good! So the recipe is a potatoe & leek soup, with a can of pumpkin & a can of tomatoes, all blended..add 2 c cream at the end..anyone want to try it?? My MIL is trying it, but she's in NY, i told her to get it down pat so when she comes down in Nov. to see the baby she can make some for my freezer.

Dinner tonight was salad & spinach & cheese quiche!! Very good! Cupcakes for dessert.  We sat in one of the tv rooms downstairs & watched a little Lifetime.. and now will watch a movie on xfinity!

Got to go to bed early tonight, need to wake up at a decent hour to have breakfast before we go visit Gracie girl.  Love her soo much! Now, I'm startingto feel like a mom!

We also ran into our friend, Sue, from Labor & Delivery.  It was sorta ironic, we were going down there to see if she was around, & pushed the elevator button to 2..just, and I mean just as we were stepping off, there she was.. pushing the button to go up! Conicidence?? Godincidence, I think!! We were able to catch up with her..that was nice!


My heart goes out to a little boy, 8 weeks old, Michael from OH..who passed away this morning.. very sad for his parents!!

Loves to Abigail for always thinking of Max & Gracie! To the Hooley's too ..


Love, pattie & gary, maxwell & gracie
