So Jense's birthday was on the first.... If he couldn't wake up to mom and baby being home he would wake up to a special birthday breakfast. I made him (and John, Jim, and Ellie) blueberry pancakes. John picked a few year's worth of blueberries and we put them to good use. I think Jensen liked the 5 in whipped cream so much that he didn't eat it! I think he had a pretty good day. This pretty much concluded his birthday week....even though he is still working on opening up his presents.
Ellie's favorite part of breakfast was torturing Max with the sausage... it seemed kind of cruel.
I put Max outside so he didn't have to bast in the aroma of breakfast meats but that didn't
stop her! Poor baby boy. He really would like to be human.
I just love these pictures! Check out babe's hair-do! And the popular hand comparison shot.
So I'm back here hanging out with my new BFF, Mia.... We are pretty much in love (its a good thing Max doesn't know how to read yet...he might be jealous) It is amazing how strong this little girl is. She has endured more in three months then I have in 29 years! Okay, 31 years... She is really my hero. I just wish that I could give her a break and breathe for her and have my heart beat 180 times a minute, even for just an hour! It just doesn't seem fair. Being in the hospital has really given me a new perspective on being a nurse and understanding the patient's and family's perspectives. I think it has made me better at what I do. Sure its a lot easier to hold a little baby than to calm down someone in drug or alcohol withdrawal or someone who has been in the waiting room for an hour (I will post a blog on that later, I'm sure) but I think that I will be more understanding of their situation.
