I just wanted to put a little thank you on here to everyone who has been sending us well wishes and prayers. You don't know how blessed you truly are with great friends and family until something has happened. We are blessed with Paige and look forward to the end conclusion of all this. We are truly enjoying Paige as she is a really sweet baby! It's so vitally important to remember to take the time to just enjoy this little precious gift from God, just as you would any other children. So thank you to all who have been there for us thus far! :-)
Also...I'm sorry! I know everyone wants me to call them and keep them up to date with progress. But, right now it's so hard for us to do that. That's why I'm blogging so much. It's much easier for us to explain it one time rather than fifty. So while we love all of you, don't get upset if we don't call as much. Please just know that you can call and check up with Paige or read the blog too. Right now, we are trying to focus on what it takes to have 3 kids! I'm tired, Hal has school starting on Monday and Owen starts Kindergarten in less than a week. As you can tell, we are a bit stretched thin. :-) Everyone has always told me that I do too much and am the energizer bunny. Well, these days I definitly would appreciate a day home doing nothing. :-)

On a happy note
Owen went for his kindergarten orientation today. Boy oh boy does he have an interesting class. He is going to be in class with some of the kids that he went to Pre-K with. Bad combination to say the least. I think he will like his teacher though and he was really excited to go. Almost, too excited! :-)
Life with a NAM
is not so fun!! She hates it! She has already pulled it almost out and made the bandages hurt and also has figured out how to push it out with her tongue. Didn't know she would figure that one out in one day. She was fussing and I took her outside. The minute we got outside, she stopped crying. I figured it was because of the sun and going outside. But, no..I look down and she has it completely pushed out and just hanging by the rubber bands on the outside. Silly girl, she apparantly doesn't know it's actually going to help her. She has been eating a little less than she normally does without the NAM. It's almost like it hurts her but I don't know. She has an ulser on the top of her mouth from not having the NAM before and the bottle rubbing on it. The dr said it would go away in a few days and not to worry about it.
Her next doctors appointment is tomorrow with her Pediatrican. That will be a pointless appointment where I will probably know more than they do about cleft at this point. However, her next Children's Hospital appointment is next Tuesday!
Paige and her NAM
This is a really horrible picture as she is basically sleeping on me all squished up. I'll get better pics later...
