This morning mom went to rounds early and talked with Trey's doctors. Then they had some good cuddle time - Trey was awake the entire time he was out of bed! Stella stayed back with daddy so she didn't have to have a rushed morning. In the afternoon we left the hospital to let Trey rest and went for a long walk from the hospital down to church street for a late lunch. After a couple hours we wandered back up to the hospital and spent a few hours with Trey before bedtime. He worked on taking his pacifier today and did wonderful. This is great news because often times babies who have been intubated have trouble eating but it seems like Trey will do just fine!
Today was a very typical day for us when we are all together. The first week of the babies life was very difficult in general, but especially because Trey was so sick. We learned early on that you can't live in the hospital 24/7. With the weather turning nicer, we try to give ourselves atleast a few hours each day outside of the hospital. We are looking forward to being at home on days like this - to play in our own backyard, and go for walks with our radio flyer wagon (my favorite shower gift that I can't wait to use!).
Great pics Great parents! Lucky Kids!

What a beautiful family picture! I'm glad you are getting some time outside and trying to have a "normal" life outside of the hospital. Looking forward to the day you are all settled at home so we can meet Trey and Stella!
