Xavier's First Day of Autumn
Hello to everyone, and happy First Day of Fall.
Today was a monumental day. Rebecca and I went out on the town without Xavier in tow! Xavier's Aunt Rochelle drove the hazardous roads from Fort Collins to babysit for a few hours while Rebecca and I went to see "Defending the Caveman" playing in the Denver Center for Performing Arts.
After laughing and enjoying the show, Rebecca and I toured LODO on foot, then found a quiet sushi restaurant for dinner. It was a celebration of our engagement, the day Rebecca said "yes." Did she read the fine print?
Xavier and Chellie got on famously. Xavier gave her the opportunity to change diapers, and test her with ambiguous reasons for his fussiness. Still, Rochelle said Xavier was not that off-putting and she would do it again. Rochelle, we thank you for giving Rebecca and me a few hours to ourselves.
We also thank you all for your prayers and support.
Xavier at nearly seven pounds. No more preemie clothes. No more preemie bottle nipples. No more preemie diapers. Now, newborn sizes (for which he is still a little small for, but don't tell him that!)
Finally! Xavier is big enough to (mostly) fit into his sleeper sack the NICU gave us. The logo is the MFM logo; MFM is Maternal Fetal Medicine. The doctors and nurses within the hospital have another meaning, which many patients helped give due to the often changing nature of doctors' opinions and thoughts. Rebecca and I fully understand this from our own experience. The alternate meaning of MFM is "Make up your Frakking Mind" (I used the BSG substitute for the "F" to make this page family friendly)
