Happy Birthday Evelyn--Update on Alice

Today Evie turned ONE!!!  Because Alice is still here in the hospital we will wait to celebrate Evie's birthday.  I have yet to find a few more ingredients to make a gluten free chocolate cake for everyone to enjoy.  Of course Evie will not even know the difference and if I do it right the rest of us won't either. ;)

                                                    Here's to the birthday girl!

And this is Evie's invention...this is the way she likes to have a Binky.  It works for us.

As for Alice--she had a great day, with the exception of a few bumps in the road this morning.  She had a couple temper tantrums and was difficult to console.  I tried to make things better and failed at least twice.  The physical therapist came to work with her; I saw this as an opportunity to slip out before I had a temper tantrum myself.  I slipped on my running shoes and headed for the nearby gym.  I decided I was going to run for two miles.  It sounds pathetic, I know; however, right now two miles is a big accomplishment for me ;).  I did it!  It felt great and I was ready to come back and tackle whatever came.

Alice had a normal diaper, YAY!  She has been taken off TPN and Lipids because she is eating plenty.  This is wonderful.   I gave her a lovely bath and pedicure, she enjoyed it.
