I quickly wanted to post a few things...not much time, but I'm trying to keep up-to-date.
As of last Friday, Conrey was down to 7 lbs 12 oz from his birthweight of 8 lbs 10 oz. From Friday to yesterday (Wed), he gained a WHOLE POUND and is now at 8 lbs 12 oz. YAY!
Another thing that happened yesterday was that his cord fell off. I was so glad and gave him a real bath today in the kitchen sink. Sponge baths are just not adequate!!! :)
Last night, Conrey ate at 9:00, I went to bed at 9:30. Mark brought him up to eat at 11:00. He ate again at 3:00 and then at 6:00. YAY for sleep!!! Cassie didn't wake up until 7:50, so we all slept until then and then Conrey ate again at 8. I feel sooo rested today! However, I still feel exhausted in other ways! HA!
The other day, Cassie said, "We're good friends..." I said, "Who's good friends?" She said, "Me and baby buddy..." That's what she calls him. I thought that was so sweet. I'm glad that she considers him a friend instead of an enemy or competition at this point! :)
Last night, my in-laws were over and apparently Grandad built a tall tower with Cassie while I was feeding Conrey. Later in the evening after they were gone she said, "Grandad built a tall, tall tower." I said, "COOL!" She said, "It was AWESOME!" HA! I wasn't even aware that we use the word 'awesome,' but apparently one of us does!
Well, that's my quick update on the happenings around here. Hope you all have a great day and I'll do some more updates soon!

Hey Friend! I am so glad you guys are doing well and that you ALL seem to be adjusting nicely. I can't wait to see your little man again soon. Did you get my message about dinner next week? Can't wait to see you on Sunday or Wednesday. Have a great weekend!
I didn't even realizing you were updating!! Wow! Precious pictures, and I'll have to post the ones I took at your house and e-mail them to you as well.
After reading your full story down there, it just made me want to cry to know that it was that bad for you. I praise God that you're feeling so great now, though! It brought back bitter memories of my own birthing experience, when I was thinking to myself "why can't I handle this?" and I remember my friends telling me they never cried or hysterically screamed, and I felt so embarrassed that I did. IT'S THE DEVIL DRUG, AKA, PITOCIN!!! I would never, ever, ever wish pitocin on anyone. Although I fully believe they should find a way to give pitocin to sex offenders ;)
Anyways, glad to hear that you're doing great, and we're praying for your recovery still!! I'll keep praying for your sleep, or more accurately, Conrey and Cassie's sleep patterns!
Wow I read your play by play leading up to the "Main event!" Thanks for updating-he is sooooo cute!
