Off to Kitchener

Today we went to Kitchener to visit Auntie Linda. Linda just bought a new condo so we went to check it out. It is really nice and large. Auntie Linda has lots of toys there to play with so Julia had a good time. She made a mess of the place by the time we left. Auntie Linda took us to a local sports bar for dinner. The food was great and the atmosphere was to Julia's liking...LOUD! It was football night so lots of cheering going on.
Yesterday Julia got her flu shot (the first of two shots). She handled it pretty well. A tiny bit of crying. Later we put up the Christmas tree while Julia napped. In the evening we went to the Leaf game so Julia went to Grandma's. The Leafs are sucking.
I'm not sure what's going on but Julia was up all night last night. She has a molar coming in so maybe it was bothering her. Or maybe the flu shot was bothering her. I'm hoping it's better tonight.
Tomorrow I have the day off. I'm going to try to do some Christmas shopping. Julia will be going to school while I'm shopping.

Unwanted Guests

A couple of love birds decided that the drain passage on our upper balcony would make a nice nest. These are persistant buggers. I broke up their nest two times on the weekend. Well finally they beat me. They built a nest AND laid an egg while I was at work. So now the big question...Do I let them nurse this egg into a new baby birdie or do I smash the egg and break up the nest? My soft side wants to let them be. My hard side wants to show them who's boss. What do you think I should do? Please comment.

Continued Progress

Emily had a great day. She is now out of the incubator and back into a regular bed. She also nursed twice today! At noon and at 6pm. We tried again at 9pm to see if she can handle back to back feedings but she was too tired. Breast feeding still takes a bit too much out of her. Tomorrow we will continue to try to alternate between nursing and tube. Emily is now off of the antibiotics. There as been no signs of infection. The IV will be coming off soon too. Her weight slightly dropped from yesterday which is not really a concern. Overall she looks much healthier than on Sunday. She is like a different baby. With the progress that she is making, we can anticipate that she will be home very soon.

Welcome Home Emily!

After 16 long days, Emily is finally well enough to come home. It has been a tiring and stressful experience but we are just glad to finally have Emily home. We are very lucky to have two Grandma's who could help us out when needed. They certainly made the whole ordeal much easier to manage. Julia and Grandma D decorated the house with a Welcome Home sign to greet Emily when we arrived. We gave Emily the quick tour of the house...bedroom, bathrooms, Julia's room, what not to touch in Julia's room (Baby with the Bib)...then she was right at home. We did learn today that Emily has an issue with one kidney. This was discovered in a pre-natal ultrasound and confirmed with an ultrasound on Friday. She has hydronephrosis (you can google it) which requires further tests, monitoring and on going antibiotics. The hope is that it will resolve itself over time. So although she is out of the hospital she still has a few hospital and doctors visits over the next 6 weeks for her ...
