ELVIS is in the house... and other life happenings.

So... my day was going to consist of going to visit a friend I haven't seen in a long time...
But! My phone rang at 4:30 am... the mom I was working with - her water broke. No contractions yet. I managed to wake up and get moving, and started to get my ducks in a row. I left the houe at 6 something for H Hosp. It was a long day, but... it's a boy, 9 lbs 6 oz, and 22 in. and he's a CUTIE!!! As the dad made his phone calls to share their good news, several people commented that it was Elvis's birthday! (also one of the nurses commented she'd heard it on the radio comming to work that morning).

We want to thank K (mom) for being so willing to let Liam come play! Bill said that he pouted, dragging his little Diego backpack all the way up to the door and was saying, 'daddy, don't WEAVE me!'
He seemed to have a great time, and tonight when I asked him what he did today he told me, "play with K (little sister)! K is my best fwiend!" Sooo sweet!

Rebekah has started taking a College class this semester at UAH. So, she has class in the morning (m-f), and she has her college class monday and wednesday afternoons. So... she had an idea! She went to Hannah's school and ate lunch with her today. How fun is that?! She'd like to be able to go eat with Marissa as well, but her lunch time is earlier, and Rebekah gets out at the same time or 5 min's after it starts, so... she'd miss it. She thought perhaps she'd come with dessert for her or something, sometime.

Anyway, so Rebekah had lunch with Hannah, and then checked her out of school for us, because she had a Dr's appointment. Bill picked up Liam from K's and then met the girls at home and took Liam and Hannah to the Dr. (they both had an appointment with the orthopedic Dr.)

Liam pretty much has scar tissue that is causeing his hip to not fully extend. The Dr. told Bill he's seen it before, and gone in for another surgery to remove the scar tissue, and it really didn't make any difference, so rather than go through a surgical procedure for no reason... (essentially). His little ball hip joint is growing at a slower rate as well. He suggested we just continue with Physical Therapy as needed, and continue what we're doing.
They removed Liam's pants and the Dr. undid the Diaper to check the hip joint, and then put it back together... He then had Bill sort of walk around the office from room to room to get Liam to follow him so the Dr. could see how he walks. At one point Liam got ahead of Bill, ripped off his diaper and RAN giggling around the office hallway. Bill said it was pretty funny seeing his little butt cheecks sticking out from under his shirt, just running away! He told me all the nurses were just laughing, which of course fed my little streaker's enjoyment and he ran and ran around. Oh my goodness!!!!!!!!!
Hannah is a post for another day...

Hope all of you had a great day!
