today....

today emerson had an appointment with the home nutrition team at the hospital. all went well... she weighed in at 21 lbs, some odd ounces (i forget) and i don't know the height measurement but it's still 25th percentile. weight is closer to 90-95th percentile! haha! i think her head is 50 or 75th? can't remember.... all is well with miss emmy, she is supposed to start drinking more thickened, homo milk by mouth over the next 4 weeks... and if that goes well, possibly elimiate the tube feeds! WOW it all of a sudden seems so close! i honestly just saw this long, dark tunnel ahead with no end, and now i see the light! sounds so cliche, but it's true! :) woo hoo! go emmy, go emmy! we'll see how the month goes!

after the hospital, i took advantage of having only 1 child in tow and i stopped by the flooring place to compare the flooring samples we chose with the counter and cupboard samples... i think we've come to a decision! (i mean, i have come to a decision that kipp nodded in agreeance with! LOL) i'm excited to see it all come together eventually!

then, once i finally got home, my dad had taken the kids to the park across the street and juanita and the kids were there as well (planned) and we played for a while. then off to southgate to meet grandma & grandpa for lunch.... and did a bit of shopping/browsing. my parents leave tomorrow for a week or a week and a half? and the kids will sure miss them! (as will i, who am i kidding?!) tomorrow we're going over to their place before they leave, for dinner.

the kids played on their bikes this afternoon and they both sure go FAST up and down the sidewalk. i think they crashed, and somehow kai landed in a huge mud puddle/bath and was NOT impressed. that ended the bike riding. it was an early bedtime for them as they have been so tired and grumpy lately... kai's naps/bedtime have been so krazy lately so i am hoping the early bedtime tonight will help. we did massive stories instead of the usual 1 or 2 :) and then i fell asleep too. oops! i just checked on kai and took some funny pics.....
