Good morning, Momma!! Yes, that's an IV in my head!! :( Geesh!!  They poke & poke so much, they are running out of IV lines.. so they had to put in my head.  Hopefully, after the 2 hours they spent putting in my picc line today, it's in & they can take this one out.. we'll know later on.  Poor little girl!!

But, Gracie gained 50grams last night, making her weight today 4lbs. 3oz.!! Yea!! Finally seeing some weight gain, or good amount..hope we continue to see it.  Will is right behind her, he hit 4lbs. 1oz today.. YEA, WILL!!!!

I was sad for a little today, saw my friend Jessica (the other MASS mom).. who checked out of the RmCd house today.  She has been at the RmCd house since 8/5 (her baby, Evelyn was born 8/3 too.. what a weird coincedence).  So, guess who's been at the RmcD house the longest now?? Yup, ME!! lol.. wow! Not a title I wanted, I think!  So, she was in a really good place.. going home to take all her stuff home & coming back up with her husband to pick up Evelynn in the morning.  I got to meet Evelynn today, and she's almost 7lbs. & cute as a button.  I wish them well.  I got her email address, so we will stay in touch.  And if we never do.. the friendships of the people you meet in the NICU & RmcD house..are never forgotten!!

I cleaned Gracie's room today.. put all her clothes in this drawer.  Look at all those clothes.  Now if I can get the nurses to dress her up in the morning.  Some do, some don't.  I'll have to work on it!

Auntie Sara visited.  And my friend from home, someone I worked with called me for advice today.. I was helpful! I finished the "Preemie Parents" book..it was very good!

Tonight's dinner is sponsored by a girl scout troop.. baked stuffed chicken breast.  Sounds good.  Last night's pork loin was sponsored by the Oncology Dept. of Maine Medical.  It was very good!

So that's my story from today!  Glad Gracie put on weight! Daddy's back tomorrow!



Thanks to some old time friends from high school who read the blog daily.. Kim, Wendy, Martha.. I appreciate your kind words to keep me motivated!!  We are doing great.. thanks!!


Love you guys,
pattie & gary, gracie & max
