Daddy,
How's your day been? I'm glad we got to talk to you for a bit today... it's so funny because any time the nurses come in to check on us and Mama and I are talking to you, they tell us to enjoy our time with you and they'll be back... can we just say we're skyping you all day/night?! ;) Mama said we can't... but it's a nice thought... the nurses are really nice, but I'm telling you- they're ALWAYS checking in on us! Nana spent the night again last night, but she had to go to work today, so it was just Mama and I... it was actually nice, because besides the nurses, we didn't have a visitor... but don't feel bad- we LOVED just cuddling in Mama's hospital bed (she's still not able to hold me while standing, but she's starting to stand up!) Mama was really excited today because she was able to go to the bathroom by herself- I guess that's a pretty big deal when you're older.

When Nana came back, around 5pm, Mama took her FIRST shower! She was really excited- Nana had to help her a bit (Mama wasn't too happy about that- I guess taking a shower by yourself is a big deal too)... but then, Nana's neighbors came over to see us- the Lovely's and Palmer's... it was nice, but Mama was so tired and had JUST gotten out of the shower (don't worry- she was completely dressed in her hospital gown), and as soon as they were leaving, Great Aunt Jean, Great Uncle Al, Grandma Lohman, mom's Aunt Nancy, mom's Grandma, and your guys' friend Alisa came (Mama said she's more her friend, because she did some "bad things" to my "Uncle Jake")... then, JUST as everyone was starting to leave (I started crying, and Mama was nice, but said it was getting late), the nurses came in to check on us... I guess Grandpa Lohman was going to come up tonight, but Grandma Lohman told him we needed our rest... so when the nurses came into our room, Mama asked them if they could put a sign on the door to tell people we were done with visitors for the day/night... they were JUST about to put it on the door when Mama's Uncle Mike and Aunt Deb came up to be with us... she started crying a bit because she was just so tired of seeing people, but it was nice because they prayed for us AND YOU and that calmed Mama down a bit... but we were SO excited when they left because they nurse put the sign on the door, so Mama and I just relaxed and talked and prayed for you (Nana had to stay with Uncle Nate tonight)... I think we're going home tomorrow daddy! We're excited- the hospital is so nice here, but I'm ready to go to Nana and Grandpa's house to see all of my stuff! I love you so much daddy... I'm praying for you all the time and ALWAYS dreaming about you... can't wait to officially meet you! I love you so much!
Love,
Kenzie
