The English Impatient

Do you see the red-dotted bear? That was a gift from the hospital. It's a sweet handmade guy. She hasn't turned loose of it since they gave it to her. The bears are made and donated by a local Shreveport church. Nice, huh?
The girl is sitting up, but we're not exactly eating food yet. She didn't have much to lose, but she is already showing a bit of weight loss. Hopefully she will have more of an appetite tomorrow. I even tried to bribe her with a ring pop, but all she did was stare at it. She had a little energy this morning, so we made these which turned out to be really cute. We didn't get to the rag doll kit today, but maybe we'll do that tomorrow.
PDaddy is doing SO much better. The mobility is returning, and the pain is receding. Which is our favorite ways for pain and mobility to be! Wheee!
In other normal news, I am so happy that the Olympic trials are on. Most of you who have read for the last 8 years know that we are Olympic loving crazies at the Pinkie house. I've been an addict since the '84 games with Mary Lou and Carl Lewis. I am so sad that my boyfriend Lenny Krayzelburg is not swimming anymore, but I am just so excited to have track and field, gymnastics and swimming/diving to watch. PDaddy and I veg out in front of the diving events like we're watching soap operas. Can't wait!
Well, my eyes are crossing. Maybe because it's 11:15 p.m.???

Hope Sophy has a quick recovery... That picture of her gazing at the ring pop is priceless!

She looks so pitiful in your picture. Hope Sophy is feeling much better VERY soon. Good to hear that your DH is on the road to recovery.

We love the Olympics too. This year, we had a girl from our sunday school class that tried out for the gymnastics team, so we were glued to the tv!
I hope Miss Sophy is now feeling MUCH better than this picture. :)
