We made it another week!

After much poking and prodding (and a jar of apple juice) the baby started moving enough and reacting on the monitor for us to go home today. I had decent fluid levels, but it's still not where Dr. G would like them to be. She weighs about 4 lbs 4 oz. and looks pretty good. So we are free for another week! Of course now he wants me off my feet as much as possible and on my left side. I asked if he was going to come over and watch E for me. LOL! Possibly send a housekeeper too??

In other news...

• E had her 9 month well visit today. She is 17 1/2 lbs (25th %)and 28 inches tall (55th %). The Dr. is pleased with her growth and motor skills. She said she's "perfect"! We were already aware of this. :)
• J had his last day of 1st grade today. After being not-so-successful at the limbo (and who is when you are as tall as he is??), he was awarded "Most Outgoing Student" and an Honor Roll certificate. At the end of the party his teacher said "You are all officially 2nd graders!" I got a little weepy.
• B's sister had her baby yesterday. She gave birth (with no drugs because her platelets were too low for an epidural) to an 8 lb 5 oz, 21 inch long baby girl named Mallory. She also suffered pretty serious tearing, so keep her in your prayers for a speedy recovery. From what I understand, we are still waiting for the middle name to be decided. Baby Mallory is our 3rd niece. This family has a lot of girls!
• Dad's preliminary biopsy came back as no tumor present. They sent the cells on to the "experts" for further study. Right now, this is the best case scenario. Now it's a wait and see game.

That's all for now folks!
