Butter(bean)Ball
Nolan has busted through the 4# mark, weighing in at 1850 grams last night at midnight. He is feeding very well and spends long periods deep in sleep. We are beside ourselves with happiness and pray that we have a steady progression towards taking the little critter home. The docs have thrown that word, “home”, around a little bit which both elates us and scares us to death. We have a lot to do to prepare 137 Windsor Circle for the arrival of Superbean, and Kara and Nolan’s Mimi have started the ball rolling with a crib, changing station, mobiles, clothes, etc. He still has (at least) one more surgery, the reconnection of his intestines, which will require some recovery and healing. We hope everyone is having a wonderful 2007 and again thanks for everything everyone has been doing to nudge Nolan along in health and happiness.

Absolutely incredible. We are so excited for you and can practically feel it all the way over here. Or wait, is that what we just ate for dinner… Just kidding. Imagine, getting to care for the bean in your own home! And allowing more than two people in the room with him at a time! And sleeping for long periods? I’m still in awe over the whole nursing thing. Let us know when the surgery will be and we’ll be a channelin’ like a catfish. (Ictalurus punctatus, that is…or is that what we had for dinner?)

I feel like singing and dancing—Nolan, you have made us so happy. I can just imagine that precious little boy sleeping soundly in his crib at home. Can’t wait to see him and hold him.
Love, Margaret

Sweet baby Nolan,
I am so happy, but not surprised by this news! You ARE superman. I know your family is thrilled with your progress. How exciting! Thoughts of going home and sleeping in your own bed? You have no idea just how good that will be. I am still blowing you kisses. So much love to all of you.
