Updates...FINALLY

Let me start by saying how happy we are to be home. I have slept so soundly in between feedings the past two nights, it has been glorious! Nothing like a hospital pull out couch to make you appreciate the comfort of your own bed! Parker obviously agrees.

Now a recap of the past couple of weeks I have gone without blogging...

My friend Kerri from work came to visit and brought a delicious lunch. Parker snuggled away and Hailey entertained. We are so lucky to have made such good friends here in Nashville!

We have all been keeping a close eye on the election and watching the many debates. After thinking it over, Parker has decided that all politicians are full of bologna (you know its ridiculous that I just had to sing the Oscar Mayer song to spell that right!) and all the debates in the world won't teach us anything if no one decides to be honest. Nonetheless- GO OBAMA!!!!

We found out at the hospital that Parker is now 10 lbs 2 oz! The boob juice is clearly doing its job as his rolls have started to fill in. He has started to really enjoy lounging in his boppy- man I love that pillow.

We spent Saturday- the day before the dreaded fever- at Cheekwood Gardens. This is a huge estate that has been developed into a botanical garden sanctuary and it is BEAUTIFUL! You will recall pics from last year's visit with the giant scarecrows. This was the same event, new scarecrows and all, but this year things were actually in bloom as we have had rainfall this season. We met friends Miriam, Rob, and their son Theo (Hailey's new buddy) for the day and had a great picnic on one of the lawns. The kids ran like crazy, and I don't know about Theo but Hailey took a GREAT nap that afternoon!!

Last night Parker had his first bath in his tub. I've been using the sink but it was just too challenging. He LOVED being in the water...I LOVE HIS FLUFF!

I will end this post with something for you all to look forward to...

As the embodiment of Ariel, this Halloween is going to rock!
