safe and warm

here's conley snuggling with mommy.
the nurse shared two funny things with me today. one was that last night, all of his alarms started to go off and she went running over to his isolette (i promise, it gets funny) and there was conley, off in the corner and on his back. he had somehow flipped himself over onto his back. he was crying with his eyes wide open in confusion as to what had just transpired, although he was the cause of it. i know that feeling. secondly, when giving me an update of all of the good news, she mentioned that most of the babies at the NICU often need help with bowel movements. conley, however, needs no help whatsoever with such activities. i told her that ran in the family. anyway, he did, in fact gain 60grams yesterday (to her surprise) and another 50 today!

You and Hannah...just little tiny beautiful dollies. (Erin wasn't in the nursery then..) Now you have your own two .. with denim, snails and puppy dog tails. Well..three actually if you count Ty!! LOL...Like everyone else who posts here...tears of pride over you as parents just fills my eyes. I can read the love in each of Ty's posts..and I love his sense of humor..and Beth..what a steadfast, faith filled young woman you are. I think I owe you that sandwich soon! Hugs to Malachi, Conley and you both. Thanks for building my faith everyday and giving me the priviledge of petitioning the Father for your son. Maineee P.S.
