2 weeks ago....

Sorry for the lack of posts...there has been very little new here the last couple days. The coolest news we've had over the last day or two was the fact that shes pooping...and I already did a post on that.

So, 2 weeks ago our little girl showed up. Its pretty amazing how busy things have gotten, but really, its pretty amazing how we've adapted to this point. We know this is Gods plan for us for the next few months, and that is great. One thing Nicki and I talked about today was the fact that we were excited that we have this going on. This might sound sick, but one benefit that God has blessed us with is a child that gets to be a baby for 3 months longer than most other children that have been born...she just dont get to be as healthy.

Miya and daddy came to the hospital this morning again. We love the weekends the most. We are starting to get to know our nurses pretty well, and Miya is getting pretty comfortable with Nurse Jane, and Im pretty sure Nurse Anne as well. Miya did great today. We were here for 2 hours, and she really didnt complain. Dont get me wrong, all the nurses here are good...they have to be...but there are some that are great. And those are the nurses that go out of their way to not only be their best, but make the family that is here feel comfortable too.

There isnt a lot more going on...Nicki and I are pretty excited for the night. We have some people coming up from church tonite and we are going out to eat!!! I know that sounds pretty lame, but we havent had the time to go out with friends in a long while, so we are pretty excited.

We are truly blessed. Hopefully tomorrow Im going to have a bunch of pictures and Ill spend a little more time going through whats up...but, no news is good news.

Talk to you soon!

Jeff and Nicki,
Congratulations on that 2-week birthday! It is a good milestone for a preemie and it is great to know that for the moment Melanie is doing well! She must be a little fighter.

We think of you guys all the time - and pray that God will bless little Melanie with good health and growth and your family with all you need to deal with the hectic schedules, stress, etc! God is definitely gracious to bring you this far.

And yes Jeff, it is kinda weird that you come up with this 3 months longer to be a baby idea!

Love,
Aunt Janice

Awesome 2 weeks and counting, sounds like things are calming down and thats great news, little things seem so big right now. Jeff and Nicki, you deserve to have some time too with family and friends. Love that idea that Jeff had thought off the 3 month baby thing, I would never have thought of that, enjoy that time.

Have a great day!
Jodi
