Merry Christmas 2008

We had a wonderful Christmas morning despite the sleep deprivation. Kaitlyn was so excited to see her new kitchen and jump on her trampoline. It kept her occupied for  quite some time this morning. Then we enjoyed a delicious Christmas breakfast that Dennis prepared (with a little pancake help from my brother). It was great to have my brother, Liz, my parents and Grandparent Fosters' at our home Christmas morning. Nana was unable to join us because Papa Jerry was at Wesley Long with kidney stones (ouch!). After breakfast we opened more presents (or should I say Kaitlyn opened more presents) and she loves them all. She even helped open the presents for Kyleigh. After a brief nap we all headed to the hospital to wish Kyleigh a very Merry Christmas. 

She had on her onesie that said "Mom and Dad's Best Christmas Present Ever" - so cute and a little santa hat. She was sleeping so well. Aunt Liz and Uncle Chris were able to spend a little bit of time with her and holding her before feeding time. She was hungry and did well with attempting breastfeeding and the bottle. Kaitlyn, mawmaw, pawpaw and daddy came to visit too. Kaitlyn gave Kyleigh a "Backyardigans" stuffed animal for Christmas. She loved on her sister with head rubs and a few kisses. It was so sweet. 

We were told today that we should know by morning if Kyleigh is going home on Saturday. This means I will spend the night at the hospital with her on Friday night to get used to caring for her without the monitors. She also has to pass the carseat test. It's a one hour test where she is buckled in and put on the monitors for heartrate and respiration. As long as she maintains a stable monitoring for the hour she passes. We are so excited about the possibility of her coming home so soon. 

Keep praying. Dennis and Kaitlyn are starting to feel a little under the weather tonight. Pray that they will recover quickly and not spread it to me or Kyleigh. 

Many blessings to all and a very Merry Christmas!
