The Heidinger Adventure

Well hello everyone... I hope that everyone is doing well. I am doing ok. This recovery has been better than before, quicker anyway:) I am not 100% but who expects me to be after only a week:) Lillian Rose is doing well... doing her job of eating , sleeping and pooping! Gracie loves her little sister and wants to hold her all the time. It was so great to see her meet her for the first time.. she was so excited and she wants to wear her big sister shirt all the time. As soon as Grandma Mary washed it ... it was back on:) Gotta love it though! She wants to give her love all the time. It was so cute in the hospital that when Lily started crying, Gracie would just stick out her fat lip and start to cry herself... not knowing what to do:) She is not doing that anymore, as she is our big helper, changing diapers and getting things. She has been doing very well. She loves her big girl room with her big girl bed... and she has given up the passy cold turkey ( as they are for babies-thats what we told her ) she had been great... it is just the attitude adjustment that she need help with right now:) We are working on that.
Jeremy is excited and of course a great dad. He has been making sure that the time I have to spend with Lily is taken up by him with Gracie:) They are so close... I love it! I am trying to make sure I give Gracie the same amount to time. Lily is alittle more alert now, so I can put her in a bouncer or swing and get some one on one time with Gracie:) It was hard at first as Lily had an elevated Billirubin level and was sleepy, but wanted to eat alot too... so the time was hard to get balanced... but I think we are doing better:) She has been patient which I am greatful for:)
Jeremy has been flying alot at work.... he has the worse job- to HAVE TO FLY... Just kidding. He loves it and I am glad that he has a job that allows him to do that and still provide for the family. He had to miss OSHKOSH this year but hey, he got to see his Daughter born... I think that is a much better plan:)
Anyway we are doing well, thanks for all the cards and prayers that were said. We appreciate them alot! Love to all
Please keep praying for my brother.. he is so bummed that he couldnt be here for Lily's birth like he was for Gracie's... and he wont get to see her until Feb ... as he was extended in Iraq... So to Dusty... know that we love you and we will be sending you pics and stuff:) know that you are thought of all the time and many prapers are sent for your safe return!
Enjoy all the pics:) Theres alot this time!
Love u
Denah
