Snug as Two Bugs in a Rug

Tuesday is discharge day for Zoe, barring any unforeseen problems cropping up overnight. I left her at 5pm today and will be calling just a few hours from now to confirm what time we can pick her up. I am relieved and excited and nervous.

Due to H1N1 and predictions of a brutal flu season, the NICU is no longer allowing siblings under the age of 18 as visitors. This meant that Sunday was our last visiting day as a family. The policy change is thankfully coincident with us blowing this pop stand, but I really feel for families who still have long recovery roads ahead of them. As awful as it has been to have Zoe separated from us, I will always remember these 15 days we spent together on the unit as a new family.

In celebration of our impending departure, we were allowed to leave the unit and hang out in a family room on Sunday afternoon. It was so wonderful to be away from the noise and monitors and crying babies and do something as normal as feed them, change diapers, and watch the Patriots game!

Silas & Zoe were reunited in a bassinet and had a little reacquaintment period



With full tummies, clean diapers, and swaddles, they settled in for a long, snuggly nap.



Life doesn't get much better than this...

Silas' Blog

Well it's been a busy 3 years since I last posted! Stay tuned as we may have more posts coming now that it looks like I have a new contributor... Silas recently read a book called "Starting Your Own Blog", and now he is bound and determined for us to let him start his own blog! We convinced him that he should start out by drafting content and a posting calendar. We made templates this morning and he wrote his first "post" today!

Auntie Tracy's Visit

Tracy is one of my best friends, but I haven't seen her in person in two years ! This means that I hadn't met her daughter, Brynn, who turns 2 in June. I was sooooooooo excited when I found out that Tracy and Brynn would be visiting Tracy's sister, Timery this weekend. We decided to meet at Mall Tots  again so that the kids could run around and we could catch up. It's a 45 minute drive and it was a beautiful day, so the kids were hunkered down with sunglasses, snack and stuffed animals on the ride up. Zoe and Brynn initially got acquainted in the bouncy house, And then Zoe pushed her around in a car.   Of course my kids (and husband!) had plenty of distraction with the video games too. We packed up the kids and then had lunch at Buffalo Wild Wings before heading back home. Timery and Tracy are like sisters to me. What a fantastic day!!!

The Best of Project 366

2012 is coming to a close and I have officially completed Project 366 ! I managed to take and post and keep track of 365 photos out of 366 total days this year. I only missed one day and it was for a pretty good cause . Believe me, these pictures don't take themselves. I shot just under 7000 pictures this year. Once I got an iPhone in March all of the pictures were taken with my phone (~ 5500 pictures!). The camera on the iPhone is really good, I always have it with me, and I like playing around with the filters and other editing tools available in photography apps like Instagram, Camera+, Diptic, and Gridditor. Since I have put so much time, love and energy into Project 366 I thought I should select a few "Best Of's". I had a great time putting this together, and I hope you enjoy these highlights as well!
