Valentine & Dad

Having Lunch With Meme at SmokeHouse

Here is a great video of my dad feeding Valentine. You have to turn the volume up to hear her!!

This is hillarious!! Valentine loves a good rub on her back!!!

I've had a wonderful Spring Break in Russellville. I've relaxed and enjoyed my family so much!! This week has flown by so fast!! Meme and I had lunch today at SmokeHouse. It was delicious, especially their crunchy ice. My dad and I went on a long walk after we fed Valentine. How cute is she?? Brenda (that's what I call my mom) made a delicious pizza and salad. I love the sound of rain and thunder outside my window.

Mary (aka Memu) said...: Valentine is adorable. I didn't know calves wagged their tails like little puppies! So glad you had a wonderful spring break, but we miss you and are ready for you to come back to the big city! Love you! Marjoe; March 26, 2009 at 10:05 PM
Rosalind said...: Avie, these videos are absolutely priceless! Your dad will really enjoy looking back at these when Valentine's a huge cow. Thanks for keeping me posted on your spring break activities. Your blog is so much fun to read!

I will continue my prayers for Mary-Kaylin. She is a doll.

Harrison Luther Hardin was born on 10.10.10, after I went into pre-term labor (again) at 26 weeks. We lost Baby Girl (23 weeker) two years ago, September 19, 2008. I suffered from PreEclampsia with both. After our first loss, I was referred to a high risk maternal fetal med dr. I had the BEST prenatal care under Dr. Wendel and Stephanie Wyatt. I give them and our lord credit for getting me to 26 weeks!

Harrison spent 93 days in the NICU at UAMS, where he got expert care from a team of Neonatologists, Nurses, Respiratory Therapists, Lactation Consultants, Ocupational/Physical Therapists, and Nurse Practitioners. We became constant fixtures in the NICU and have made a whole slew of lifelong friends there. We experienced extubation, reintubation, tube feeds, kangaroo care, breast feeds (me),apneas, caffeine, oxygen, d/c tube feedings, d/c O2, a car seat test...I'm sure I left something out. Since his homecoming on January 13, 2011, Harrison has thrived. Amazingly, his lungs are developing well for a baby with Chronic Lung Disease and doing developmentally well for a Level 3 brain bleed. Harrison receives physical therapy once a week and will attend Easter Seals Day School in August. We are so blessed with an amazing family and the most supportive friends in the world!
