Peek-a-boo!

Today I look 20 times better than yesterday. My breathing tube is gone; I'm still on oxygen but they keep decreasing the amount since I'm doing so well on my own. They've taken out one of the drainage tubes from the incision since it no longer had anything to drain. The other one will probably come out tomorrow. They've taken out more stuff too and will continue to do so overnight.

When Mommy came in, I heard her talking, and peeked out a bit. I'm still sleepy but I wanted to say hello! I know Mommy's voice pretty well. When I was just born, and laying in her arms, I was peekin' at her then too. I wasn't used to that bright thing called light but I had to check Mommy out! I knew she'd be beautiful! Today it was great to see her again.



My nurse Beth explained what all the wires and tubes were for. Those black things on my chest are the caps for the pacing wires connected to my heart. They are there just in case the doctors need to control my heart from the outside. The gauze covers the incision--Beth showed Mommy how well that is healing. You can see a few stitches and the plastic surgery tape that holds my skin together as it heals. It doesn't look all that bad!

I also wanted to say Howdy! to all of my fans! I'm really looking forward to meeting my big sister and my grandparents. Mommy, Daddy, the rest of my family and I have really appreciated all the support we've gotten from family and friends around the world. I couldn't believe how many different people have checked out my blog until my auntie showed me the little map with all the hits. Even people from Holland and Argentina have stopped by! Since I don't know everyone yet, leave a note for me so I can meet you!
