Here are some recent close-ups of Zoey. She still has the broken blood vessels, but they are fading. She is alert more and doing better about sleeping at night. Of course she stays up late and Sam gets up early, but it is still much better.
We had a pretty busy weekend. My dad came in Thursday to pick up my mom. Sue and Roger also came in late Thursday, they got delayed and did not end up landing until 2 am. They had asked my parents to stay so we could all be together since the last time had been when Nick got his PhD in May 2009. But since we had only 1 extra bed, it may for some creative sleeping arrangements. Nick and I slept on the air mattress in our work out room. My parents wanted to take it, but I really wanted mom to take Sam in the morning, so it made more sense to put them in our room. Of course, this was a better idea before the air mattress sprung a leak and Nick I ended up on the floor a few times through out the night. But other than that, it was a great time. Sam and Zoey got spoiled by tons of attention. And we had some great conversations. Feeding everyone was a challenge with not going out and everyone here for a friday in lent. But we had some great meals and Nick did a lot of the cooking, what a treat. He even made triple layer chocolate mousse cake, yummy! My parents left Saturday and Sue and Roger left Sunday, so we are now on our own as a family of four. Sam has mostly adjusted. She has her moments from being a bit more tired and off schedule and we are a bit less patient being so tired, but she is such a great big sister and she even slept in until 7:50 today, which was such a treat. So now we just have to get through the next few weeks as we work on a sleep schedule and getting to the point we can take Zoey out.
Grammy with the girls.
