This morning, Heath and I woke up extra early to head up to J-Boro for my doctors appointment.  All went well—but I had to hear both my doctor’s and his nurse’s ‘story’ about how my c-section went.  Apparently, it was even worse than I had remembered it being.  Yikes.  We have been very blessed.

After the appointment, we picked up our girls!!  Kalyn and Keali looked great and we loved hugging and kissing them.  They were super cute and silly this afternoon.  First we took them for their flu shots.  This wasn’t the best part of the afternoon.  Kalyn did very well with her seasonal shot, but got a little jittery with the H1N1.  She was very brave though. 

Keali didn’t do so well with the seasonal flu shot, and insisted that I hold her while they gave her the H1N1.  As she screamed and clutched me, my legs suddenly got very very warm.  She was so upset, she lost control of herself and emptied her bladder.  Poor baby!  She had told us minutes before that she needed a restroom, but there wasn’t one anywhere nearby.  I can’t blame her for the accident.

We next drove home so Keali and I could change clothes.  As I walked into the apartment, Kalyn said, “Mommy!  Why did you pee pee in your pants?!”  I said, “I didn’t.”  Then she gave me a knowing nod and said, “Was it the shot?  Did the shot make you do it?”  I didn’t!  I explained what happened, but I still don’t think she believes me.  It was funny.

We ate lunch together then went to the mall for some playtime (it was rainy outside) and then to the candy store for a special treat.  The girls really enjoyed it. 

Leaving was much harder this time.  Kalyn had a complete meltdown and I had to just walk away to keep from having one myself.  I didn’t want to leave them.  I didn’t want to not be with Kynan and Kaci.  This whole situation just stinks.  Hopefully not much longer.

Funny thing…the room across the hall from us in the NICU has had 4 babies come and go since we have been here.  I keep telling Heath we need to move into that room.  I think it has special powers.

Kynan graduated from an incubator to a bassinet this morning!!!  Now we can pick him up any time we want and he gets to wear clothing!  Kynan also is almost tubeless.  He just has his feeding tube.  He still has his EKG leads and pulse ox monitor, so there are a fair number of wires attached to him, but he is much more portable than he was.  Ha

Yea!  Kynan is doing so well…and that cold sore just won’t go away.  :(

Happy Momma.

Kynan isn’t the only one doing well!  Kaci is now down to 2 liters of oxygen per minute (as opposed to 4.5).  She also is IV-less, and got her PIC-line removed this evening.  She is almost on full feeds (should get their tomorrow).  We can start trying to bottle feed her when her oxygen is completely out.  She is doing so well and is SUPER cute!  She likes sticking her tongue out.  I have to admit I like seeing her teeny tiny tongue!  She is precious.

My sleeping princess!

This picture is from yesterday—when I got to hold Kaci for the first time!!  She is every bit as huggable and kissable as her brother and I am having the HARDEST time not smothering them with kisses (remember the cold sore). 

Heath was very very tired yesterday.  When he held Kynan I thought he was going to fall asleep.  He didn’t, but he did enjoy the time with his son.

So, to wrap up…It was a great day and we have been so blessed with four amazing beautiful children!  It is a wonderful thing to get to hold and love on each of our children.
