Lincoln and friends!

My shirt says 'Daddy Loves Me!!

Hi Mommy!

Cutest boy ever!!

Well, today was ALMOST moving day! When I arrived at the hospital today they said Lincoln was finally being moved to the T4 (gastro unit) today.. our nurse packed some of his stuff up (he has a TON...haha) and everyone was all ready... then word came back that it wasn't going to happen! Apparently there was some miscommunication somewhere because Dr. Balint wasn't ready for the Dink yet... she has a large number of patients that require too much attention and Linc wouldn't get all the attention he needs.. that is ok with us.. he is in a great area now and loved by sooo many nurses... he is spoiled and adorable and very loved in the NICU so we will wait it out a little longer!

The part that is hard for us is that he recognizes us and gets sooo excited when we visit him every day... it's such a great feeling to see how he responds to us and how happy he seems.. Greg couldn't make it today due to school and then homecoming stuff this evening so I called him from the NICU and put the phone up to Linc so he could talk to him... Lincoln was soooo happy when he heard his Daddy's voice! His eyes were huge and he was sooo excited!! That just really shows us how much he needs us and loves us... he was cooing 'talking' back to his daddy... broke my heart... we miss him soooo much and it gets worse every day... he is perfect.. he is the perfect little boy.. we are sooo lucky that he has made it through all the things he has and is still so perfect.

He is on 2cc's per hour of Progestimil with Pectin, TPN, Lipids, and a daily shot of something similar to Heparin but I forgot the name.. starts with an L... haha! He pulled my hair today.. and when I tried to clip his nails that proved to be impossible.. he is just too active.. gotta catch him sound asleep for that one!

Linc's big brother Cole has bronchitis... that was VERY unexpected!! He seemed fine with a little cough but I took him to the Doctor just to be sure and they actually thought he had pneumonia.. xrays showed it was not.. thank God.. he has an inhaler and an antibiotic to take but is doing fine... just scary...

This 3 hour ordeal in the Cadillac every single day is becoming quite irritating!! Can ANYONE other than US drive in Ohio?? Lol... seriously... we are on 36/37 every day for MILES upon MILES in Delaware and it is to be expected that someone in a 1991Buick will decide to drive in the passing lane the entire length reaching a max speed of 42 (in a 55 zone) while semi's block the other lane.. road rage has a whole new meaning for us now!! I scare Greg to death when I drive, and he scares me to death when HE drives..haha... not to mention the teenager on the cell phone weaving in and out of our lane and then slamming on the brakes to turn into the tanning salon, FROM THE WRONG LANE OF COURSE!!! I want to apply to be an honorary deputy, you know, like Shaq is.. lol so I can pull these people over and give a quick lesson in basic driving rules!!!

Oh, and did we mention the skunk is back?? same one.. yep.. he's back.. with a vengeance.. on these cool nights we love to sleep with our window open but apparently something startled the big guy because he sprayed our house AGAIN as we innocently slept and we've spent the last few days trying to eliminate it... and then he did it AGAIN... who can we call to relocate him?? seriously??
