This is how our day went....
Isaac slept.
Pooped.
Cried to tell me he pooped.
Cried when I changed his diaper.
I started his feed.
He slept...
and then pooped again...
It was like Groundhog Day (the movie)....it just kept repeating!!!
We have our echo tomorrow to see how the fluid level is around his heart. If it's the same or higher..then, we'll have to get it drained. If it's decreased...then, we'll just watch it. Holly brought us some DELICIOUS soup tonight (what a treat on a crazy rainy night!) and Janice stopped by to take a peek at Isaac....thanks again for cleaning our crazy house!!!
Joe went back to work today...I can't belive he made it....Isaac was a bit vocal last night!
We're SLOWLY getting into a routine..ok, well not really...but, it's GREAT to be home and thinking about getting into a routine! I'm counting the days until the boys come home!! I'll post tomorrow once we get back from the cardiologist!

This is Brittany, I still can't log my name in for some reason. I am just glad my pants are on the right way and my computer is on.

Those Pictures are so cute I just had to tell you even if it is annonymous. Your hair looks amazing!! I can not believe how big he is getting, Katelyn is ony 16 pounds at 9 months.
It is great to be able to watch him grow up from so far away. We can't wait to see you in real life when things have calmed down a little!?!

Lots of love,
Brittany, Kyle and girls

Ohhhh, look how big my sister is. I don't think she has weighed this much ever. I'll make you more cookies so that you can't go back to being so tiny!!

Isaac really does look a lot better. Glad to see the both of you smiling again.
Love ya
Mandy

I can't believe you said I look fat! Quit looking at my pics! You'd be a little plump if you've been sitting in a chair beside a hospital bed for the last 3 months also (and discovered the microwavable brownies!)!!!

Such a little love bug...

you're so pretty Kathy...

Grandma Susie said...

Joe, you took some GREAT pictures! I love them all!!!
Kathy and Isaac you are both unbelievably beautiful to me!!! I can't wait to see all of you.

The boys and I will leave here on Tues for your place - I have been working with them on a few things to help you keep the kitchen clean at least.
We try to throw away all of our OWN garbage and rinse out our OWN dishes so that mom doesn't have to clean up after two half grown, but awesome little boys.

We've also worked on putting toys/games away before;
leaving the house
going to bed
changing activities &
coming to the table to eat.

Plus, when they change their clothes each day, they put them in a pile (in my room) for laundry, which we do on a daily basis. I found that if I have them put their dirty clothes in my room it helps me with 3 things.
One, I don't have to go looking for a load of clothes.
Two, the pile can't be ignored &
Three, it helps the boys be responsible for their own stuff.

It's been a long time since I've had a houseful of people to look after (Carries here too) but it's kind of like riding a bike - once you know how, your just able to do it any time you want, or need to.

Now grandpa on the other hand, is only interested in their complete entertainment and fun factor. Every evening they either go to LOWES (which everyone knows is your favorite store Kathy) Wal-mart, Target, Baskin Robbins, EB games or the Mall and both of the boys love to help him with his out side projects.
We are really going to miss your two little guys . . .

See you soon, Mom

Kat,
Don't let Mandy stress you out. The extra pound I'm sure is from the breast feeding. You are still as cute as ever!

And as for Baby Isaac....glad to see him with no strings attatched!
You can really see where he is growing. I can't wait until the developmental folks see him next week. They will be astounded.

Hope you have a good trip to the Doc.
MOM

Look at plump, sweet little Isaac with his pretty mommy!! What a great pic of the two of you. You both look so relaxed and happy to be at home.

Saying prayers for good echo results!

p.s. Isaac's little lips are so juicy and cute! I love them!

Kathy you look beautiful and Isaac looks so good. What an adventure you have been on. I hope you have a wonderful weekend. Keep eating those brownies! I'm so glad all is well. Talk to you soon. Brooke

Okay, since some people are taking this the wrong way, I was saying that Kathy isn't a tiny, breakable little person anymore. For those of you who have never seen Kathy or doesn't know how small she has always been, she has always been able to wear kids clothes. It's nice to see her with some weight on. She isn't FAT and I'm not putting her down. She just looks healthier now. Believe me, I would never call Kathy FAT or tell her she is big. It's just funny to me to see her with some weight on.
