Starting WEEK 4 in St. Vincent's Hospital

Powell is growing! See?! Terry and I went for a visit yesterday afternoon. We had a nice visit and when we got there Rachel was sitting in a chair! All of the sudden, the door flew open and a nurse says, "You're OFF the monitor! Let's move back and get hooked up again!" I didn't know St. Vincent's was also a PRISON! HAHAHAHA ! I told the nurse, "well I know you're doing your job!" HAHA!  So, she was put immediately hooked right Back onto the monitor ! (the nurse told us, "See, we're watching!"). Of course, Charles was nervous that she was even sitting in the chair ! He really didn't even want her to do that. Poor Rachel, I know it gets awfully monotonous just sitting/lying in bed>>>>>>> for almost 4 weeks!  It was just Terry, Rachel, Charles and I and we had a nice visit. (the pix are actually from Friday's visit with katie). Charles was getting ready to go to The Firm Baby shower. she was going to be hooked up by computer again! SKY CAM! HAHA! (She wrote me last night that they got lots of baby clothes and a lot off of their registry).Hurrah! ...(The pictures of the baby clothes & burp cloths are from Kadie that she  made! They are gorgeous! Like Daisy's only for a baby boy! I'm so proud of Kadie, she has them in a shop in Homewood to sell, too!Aren't they beautiful!?)...

Cathy came in as we were leaving and the 5 of us held hands and Terry said the sweetest prayer for Powell and Rachel before we left. It was so special. I know the prayers of so many are working b/c Powell has stayed put for almost 4 weeks longer than we first thought!  NOW>>>>only 3 more to go!

P.S. The picture of the baby with the bear is Charles! HAHA
