Today's Report

Lydia had a much better day today...hooray! She ate well at every feeding (same combination that we've recently found to work for her), she was alert and happy (not crying...that means happy to us!) for a little while after she ate each time, then she went right to sleep when she got tired. She was a little cranky this evening...but, she's entitled. She fell asleep after her last bottle and has been snoozing ever since. I pray that this good day is followed by a good night...one day/hour/minute at a time! :)

Elise still felt pretty yucky this morning, but I think she's on the upswing tonight. She's got two doses of antibiotic in her system, so hopefully she'll be completely well soon. Also, please help us pray that no one else in our house catches the same sickness.

Audrey has been a complete sweetheart...so gentle and sweet with her sisters (well, Lydia at least :) Grandma was here tonight helping us (Thank you!) and she was getting ready to bathe Lydia for me. Audrey hopped up to say that she wanted to help...then, she said, "I really wish I could bathe her by myself. I really wish I could be the momma to Lydia." Not so fast, my sweet girl. Soon enough! When her teacher asked recently what she wanted to be when she grew up, she said, "A mommy." Her daddy says she'll get her chance...when she's about 40.

Speaking of Daddy, he is a rather busy bee these days. He is on Day 3 of a ten-day spree of leaving before everyone wakes up and coming home after everyone's asleep. All of us girls really miss him. With every car door we heard in the neighborhood today, Audrey screamed, "There's Daddy," and ran to the back door. We're going to have to find a way to see him in some way soon.
