Just you & me Little Bug!!!

Well, the time came again yesterday to say goodbye to daddy again as he went off to fly!! We sure do hate to see him go, but we know that he will be back soon to fill our hearts with more love and smiles. Last night when Connor and I laid down to go to bed I whispered in his ear, "It's just you and me Little Bug." This is the 1st time since Connor's been born that we've been here at home and Randy has had to leave. All the other times we were in the hospital, so these next 10 days should prove to be an adventure for Connor and I and Abbey.

We still have yet to find our rhythm around here. There is still much to be put away and much to be organized. My goal is to have it all done by the time Randy gets back. I'm sure we will have more productive days once we are organized. We are still fighting off the "crud". I'm feeling some better but still coughing and sneezing. Little Bug has a terrible cough and runny nose and he just seems miserable. He is such a trooper though. Even in the midst of not feeling well he is talking and cooing all the time. It is sooooooo cute!!! I'll have to do an audio blog so you can all hear just how cute he sounds.

We have had appointments to keep up with since coming home from the hospital which makes the day pretty hectic. Yesterday we saw our cardiologist in Tacoma, Dr. Steffaneli, and he did and echo-cardiogram on Little Bug. Nothing too impressive to report except the fact that his PA Band that he had done when we were at Children's is quite loose and so we are going to have to monitor that pretty close because it's not restricting as much blood flow as he would have wanted to see. We will go back in 2 weeks and if it hasn't improved, Connor will go on another heart medication to help relieve the pressure in his lungs.

We've seen our pediatrican twice now since being home and today Connor's weight was at 10 pounds 10 ounces. That's right, he's definately growing!!! He'll be 11 pounds before we know it!! Dr. Oriel said there really wasn't much I could do for this terrible cold, except to let it run it's course. So, we will lay low for the next few days and see if we can fight it off!!!

I wanted to let everyone know that the special Evening Magazine edition on baby Jonah will air on Thursday at 7pm on channle 5. I hope you will be able to watch his inspiring story and get to see a glimpse of his little life.

I must run for now as I hear Little Bug waking up from his afternoon nap. Believe me, it is the best feeling in the world to hear him waking up right here in our own house surround by our own things and our own sounds. Oh for the little things we take forgranted. Never again in this household will we forget to thank the Lord for the simplest of blessings. Off to love on Little Bug. I keep trying to make time to post pictures because I know there are a lot to catch up on. The bad thing about posting pictures on this blog is that for some reason it takes forever. You can only post 5 at once so you have to repeat the process many times over. Anyway, enough of that, I will keep trying to get them posted. Thanks, as always, for all your prayers. We love you.

Lovebug Hugs,
