TGIF - 30 weeks

I would have been 30 weeks pregnant today. Parker will be coming home in 10 more weeks. He is still doing really well. Today was a good day. Eva came to take some pictures of Parker. When she got to the hospital we asked his nurse if she would open up his incubator. (I had already asked his Doctor if it was okay and she said it wouldn't be a problem based on the fact that he has been doing so well.) We had the lid off for maybe a minute when another nurse flipped out and started yelling at us for having it open. It was really strange how she reacted. Oh well. I know she was acting in what she thought was in Parker's best interest.

Parker is adorable and did really well even when the flash went off. I know we were able to get some good pictures. It is so hard to take pictures, because of all of the restraints and lack of lighting. We will have to take some more when he is graduated to a crib and is out of the incubator.

The girls, my niece (Sarah) and I had a great time this evening. We went to the park and when we got there realized it was Family Night at the Park (FREE). They had clowns, a band, a bounce house, stunt dogs, car show and food and drinks. The first thing the girls wanted to do is get their faces painted. Laney and Sarah both got butterflies. Then it was Samantha's turn. The clown asked her if she also wanted a butterfly. She said, "No". Then the clown asked if she wanted a rainbow. She said, "No". Then the clown finally asked what she wanted. Guess what Samantha said. She said she wanted a Deer. So the clown painted a deer with a bulls eye on her cheek. She cracks me up!

  1. NICU nurses are famous for being protective of their babies. Matt used to joke that the highest complement he received was a NICU nurse allowing him to hold one of the babies in her charge while he ran some tests. We had one that didn't want him to hold David and David was 10 pounds 2 oz with a blood sugar problem. So, happy 30th! Glad you were able to have some fun. Bounce houses. Face painting. good stuff.
