Thursday

ok, Dan and I got home about 30 min ago. Our moms just left, and Dan took Hannah somewhere...So, I am sitting here all by myself! It is kinda weird, b/c we have all been hanging out as a big family and now everyone is gone. I am kinda sad. O well. It was NICE to have our moms here. I don't think my apt has ever (or ever will be...!!!!!!!) this clean again!! Thanks Moms! They even stocked the fridge and took us to Wal-mart last night. Speaking of that :) They made Dan push me around in a wheel chair the whole time. lol!! I felt weird, like people were staring at me trying to figure out what was wrong with me. Plus Dan was trying to make and then break new records with taking corners and such.

This is a funny note. I ended the pregnancy with a total of 12 people asking me if I was having twins! Can anyone beat that? And now...I have been asked twice when my baby is due!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They mean well, I think. And it has only been at the Hospital too.

This morning when we arrived there at 930am to feed Calvin they told us they put him on a new schedule. He was on a 4 hr starting at 930, 130, 530 ect. Now he is doing 4hrs at 8, 12, 4, 8 ect. So I was not extremely happy, b/c I would have arrived at 8 to feed him, not 930. So, now I have to wait until 4 to "try" to feed him. But they give you tubes and bottles and accessories to their pumps when you are there, and you just keep yours (b/c they can't reuse them with other patients...) and bring them with you each time you go see your baby. Than when you are there you can pump with their equipment. And they supply you with plastic containers to put the milk in and special labels too. They are VERY organized up there.

We got to briefly talk to the therapist this morning. She is evaluating Calvin at noon or so today. She is going to test his sucking and swallowing patterns and try to figure out which nipple/bottle combo is best for him. I guess there are several ways to do this. I am kinda bummed b/c I wont be there...but our moms should be (they were going to stop by and say goodbye to him on their way out). So I am hoping she is there while they are. Plus She said she'd come back at 4 when I go again. But as she was telling me all this, it occurred to me that this isn't going to be an hour long trial!! Which means to me (and I was kinda depressed so I didn't even bother asking) that a departure on Saturday isn't going to happen!

I have CD from my Mother in Law that has the pictures she has taken so far on it. I will try to put those on here later on. So, keep checking for more updates. I am going to go rest now while I can.
