Day 3 - Magic Kingdom

Today we went to Magic Kingdom. Today we got up early and were there right after the park opened. The weather was clear, sunny and very COLD! I was 4 degrees C went we left and remained around that temperature for most of the day. It peaked to 12 C at around 3pm but that didn't last long. The benefit of the weather was that it seemed to keep people away. It was crowded but there was virtually no line ups for any of the attractions. We covered the main attractions: It's a Small World, Country Bear Jamboree, Tom Sawyers Island...etc. Julia's two favourite rides were Cinderella's Carousel and Alladins Magic Carpet Ride. The Magic Carpet ride was the exact same ride she cried on yesterday. Then we asked her if she wanted to go on Dumbo (the exact same ride again). Nope.
Julia really enjoys the shows. Anything with singing she enjoys. The highlight of the visit was meeting the princesses; Cinderella, Snow White and Belle. Julia was thrilled to meet them.
For dinner, we went to the Hoop Dee Doo Review. It's a dinner and show. It was very entertaining and Julia really liked it. She was singing and shouting along.

Tomorrow morning we check out of this hotel. We are probably going to start the day at Epcot and then head off to Magic Kingdom again for the afternoon and evening. There is a late fireworks show that we want to catch.

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 ...
