Day of Visits!

(7/14)
Thursday morning we were running behind! It was the first time we weren't at the hospital before 7:45! We made it up to the NICU and were washing our hands when the urologist popped her head in and told us the good news! (Good thing she saw us, because we didn't see her!)
She said where that stint had pulled out a little the night before they just took it out! That was GREAT news! Better than we could have hoped! Originally the plan was that they take one stint out Friday, the other out Saturday, then we had to do a 24-48 hour stay with BrynLee in the NICU, then we could go home! So we were planning on Sunday or Monday for going home.. When we found out they pulled the stint out a day early, that meant we could go home a day early! Now we were looking at Saturday or Sunday! It was really awesome news!
When the attending came in for rounds that morning we were excited to share the news with him! I'm sure he already knew, but we told him like it was a big surprise! LOL.. He really has to think we're crazy! So they were talking their doctor talk (where they usually lose me!) and all of a sudden he looks at me and says, "You look like a capable mom, this is baby #4, you don't have to do the 24 hr stay in the NICU!" Really? Did I hear that correctly? I was so happy! That meant they would take the second stint out Friday morning we'd be able to go home Saturday! It just kept getting better!
After rounds we waited for Glen and Janis Carnahan to come for a visit.. They were wanting to take us to lunch so after we showed off BrynLee, we headed out to lunch! I learned a very valuable lesson that day! Never ride in a car with Glen in SLC! LOL.. I love Glen to death, but man he's a crazy driver! I literally had a death grip on Jocko's hand.. The funniest part was that he was cussing everyone else! He kept saying, "These idiot drivers!" LOL.. It was hilarious and terrifying at the same time!
They took us to Chuck-O-Rama and it was very good.. I was impressed for it being a buffet style dinner that it was so good.. Maybe it was because we were so sick of cafeteria food, but I thought it was wonderful! I was stuffed!
We made perfect timing because just as we were walking out the hospital called to say BrynLee was hungry..
After we got back and got BrynLee fed I got a message from Kallie that she was there.. It was visitors from there on out! Kallie was there for a bit, then Craig and Berdie showed up.. They weren't there for long before my grandpa , Donna, Steve and Barbara showed up! We had a whole hall full! It was great.. It sure made the time pass by faster when people were around..
Grandpa wanted to take us to dinner and Jocko and I were both still stuffed full from lunch.. We agreed to go and just eat light! We ended up at Sizzler so I had to have a steak! The last steak I'd had was when Jocko and I went to Red Lobster for our "pre anniversary" celebration! I needed a steak! It was a bad decision! It tasted so good, but I was miserably full the rest of the night!
We got back to the hospital in time to feed BrynLee and it was only 8 when we got done and headed back to the Ronald McDonald house.. It was nice to get back at a decent time! Especially since the night before was so late! We were both in bed and out before 9!
