Come on, Mom! Aisle 3 needs more Snuggies stocked.... let's roll!!!

NOOOO... please don't make me go get carts AGAIN!!!!

tsk tsk tsk..... I told you that pyramid of Skittles would collapse and hurt someone!! You should've listened to me!!

ALWAYS pretend to listen in staff meetings!!

I WILL say this! This is the LAST day I am grooming the hamsters... do you SEE the scratches on my face???

Ok, for everyone confused by the nametag and photo captions, allow us to elaborate. Of course we shopped for new clothes, since Lincoln has grown out of everything he has and is into 3-6 months now... and we purchased the cutest brown khaki pants (with belt of course) and red shirt... the first thing our nurse Kim said was 'Oh my gosh! That's the Target uniform!" hahahaha... yes! She is right!! It hadn't occurred to us before but then at that moment we KNEW we had to have fun with it... soooo... Greg made Lincoln a specialized Target nametag today and we had sooo much fun taking pictures with him all dressed up for work! It's these little moments and days that help us see the fun and the good in our lives and downplay the negatives in the back of our minds. Lincoln clipped on his nametag and we took him for a ride in his red stroller (car) and of course he attracted lots of attention and LOVED every second of it.. he is such an attention-hog and soooo adorable!!

He is still at 2.5cc/hour of Pregestimil w/Pectin and receives Immodium, Lovenox shots daily, Flagyl... etc... we are trying to get the Lovenox stopped and switch back to Heparin or at least insert a port into his leg for it so he doesn't have to get a daily shot.. although the Lovenox itself is said to burn and be painful :( ... it doesn't make any sense to us at all why he is still on a blood thinner such as that but that is the Hematologist's call now... haven't even met that guy yet!

Linc is still doing well with everything else as far as we know.. they are pushing for a flu vaccine for him (not H1N1 as that vaccine is too scarce apparently, even for Children's hospital to acquire) and we are thinking about it... a little worried about agreeing to it because there have been no studies on the effects it may have on tiny infants such as Lincoln.. they told us he is very highly susceptible to the flu and other respiratory illnesses and they would have much more dramatic effects on him than they would healthy older children but it still concerns us... we have a day to research and I guess we will decide from there... he also gets his 4 month vaccinations this week... sooo much to worry about..but we will figure it out! He is growing and getting chunky! He is over 11lbs now.. not sure the exact weight since they weigh him tonight but eager to find out!

Linc and his adorable NICU neighbor!! Grandma Phyllis holding Lincoln... Awww... little Josie went home! Good for her and we wish her the best!
