Phewwww!!!

We went back to Jacksonville Monday night because I had a doctors appointment on Tuesday morning. We took this opportunity for Mark to get to go and play with Joep and to be honest, he was a little worried that Joep might not be too happy about the 2 weeks Mark has been away from him. However, you can see by the picture that Joep was absolutely ecstatic to see dad. Mark played with him for quite a while and then was sad to have to put him back. It was just good to see those two together as I can truly tell that Joep loves Mark!

As for little Bodee, not much new to report which is a great thing! They are still slowly increasing his feeds and he should be up to 50cc's today but we won't know until the doctors make their rounds. He sleeps a ton now so it is really hard to get him to take the bottle. He will suck on it for as long as it takes to put himself to sleep and then there is no waking that little guy. We figured he deserves it since he spent his first week of life working so hard to recover. He also seems very comfortable and peaceful so hopefully that means his incisions aren't quite as painful anymore. Mimi & Papa showed up yesterday and got to get some good lovin time in. Dakota just played and played with them in the waiting room and is loving having them here as are we! We are continuing to be blessed throughout this whole situation and can't even begin to describe how powerful the prayers of everyone have truly been. It is amazing to see the outpouring of love and support that we have received. Little Bodee is our miracle baby!

Please give big hugs to each other and your two precious babies. Bodee is such a cutie I can hardly wait to get my hands on him. Take care and know we love you all.
