Tricks and Treats Thursday

Today was a much better day than yesterday! For starters, I was able to sleep -- uninterrupted by nurses -- until 7:55! That hasn't happened since my stay here began. Hallelujah! Once enjoying a casual, slow start, I even got dressed in "real" clothes today (jeans and all!). What a fabulous feeling.

real clothes and a growing belly!!

Today's tricks:
Once Zsu Zsu and Aunt Aubrey arrived, we spent most of our day on a ridiculous, incredibly entertaining app: Akinator. Let me tell you, it was worth every penny of that $1.99! You think of any fictional character and it asks you yes or no questions. Simple enough. But good golly did it provide hours of entertainment! We were thinking of the most absurd, minor characters we could...and he was getting them all!

how did it know the Indian from the Indian in the Cupboard?!

even Paka was amazed

Today's treats:
Sleeping in
McDonald's for breakfast
Paka showed up for lunch (and got just as much entertainment out of the silly app as we did)
Real clothes
Homemade chili for dinner!
Yummy fruit from the fresh market
A nurse that actually read my chart BEFORE coming into my room to meet me
Candy corn
A phone call to my hospital room from our fabulous fertility doctor who heard we had been admitted....calling to see if there was anything she could do!
Your dad singing to you two and seeing his face light up when you guys respond to his voice and begin moving and kicking like crazy!

I'm so thankful for a better day and happier spirits today. We prayerfully await tomorrow's ultrasound and trust God has more good news for us.
