#86 Wheat Grass Basket

March 26, 2012Isla and my mom planted some wheat berries in a basket when they were here. It seemed to sprout in hours, and I swear you could watch this stuff grow. Here it is less than 2 weeks after planting. (Eventually it grew taller than the handle and then flopped over.)

#85 The New Master of the Universe

March 25, 2012
His feet don't come close to touching yet.

We set up the stander for Isaac. The Dr's in the NICU told us that these were no longer recommended because they can cause walking issues, but I turned a deaf ear. Isaac loves being upright and is enthralled with the stander. Standers remind me of little command centers. I can just picture God up in the clouds in something similar.

#84 Welcome Home!

March 24, 2012We received these gorgeous flowers from my in-laws. They lasted forever and were such a beautiful color combination I went out and bought towels to match.
PS - These pictures are just generally from this time...getting back into the routine was difficult and I didn't get daily pictures.

#83 Isaac is...

March 23, 2012SO happy to be home! His bandages are off and we can give him baths as needed until the steristrips fall off. The incision is exactly 3 inches.

#82 Going Home!

March 22, 2012We went home this afternoon! Isaac is doing fantastic, with just a little Tylenol. We are so blessed to have such wonderful doctors and a state of the art hospital!

#81 Yey Daddy!

March 21, 2012
I forgot to take pictures today, but this is from last night. Isaac lit up when Andrew came in. He is getting so much stronger & spunky!

#80 Super Sister

March 20, 2012
Ike's youngest visitor has been a super sister! She has seen far too many hospitals in the past 7 months, but is doing well with the adjustment of having me here and Grandma and Grandpa visiting. We've had picnics at the hospital and visited all the gardens. She also loves to talk to all the nurses. She is freaked out by Isaac's IV and gives it the stink eye whenever she gets to close to Ike.
