How Many Licks

July 16 8 pm

So what's so special about the number three anyway?? Third time's the charm.....three strikes and you're out.....celebrities always die in threes......and then my personal favorite (which once again will date a lot of us) was the old wise owl in the tootsie pop commercial.......remember......he'd say how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop.....then he'd start licking.....one....two....three.....CRACK.....showing his complete lack of self restraint and teaching the youth of America that it's okay to need something now!!!!.......he'd bite right into the damn thing.......So he's to blame for the current hyper speed gimme now world we live in!!!!....or was it Verucca Salt.....that bratty little girl in Willie Wonka and Chocolate Factory with her " Daddy I want an Ooompa Loompa and I want it NOW".....had to be her fault....but again I digress

So what's so special about the number 3??? Frankly I don't really care except for the fact that I'm celebrating the third good day in a row.....that's right today was the third day in a row that the boys have had good days!!!!! Tyler's new news is that his umbilical cord has fallen off and he is sporting his new "innee" belly button:) Mommy got to hold him again today, but only for a half an hour today as he was a little less inclined to stay up at a good level without desatting. Nonetheless I got a few great pics of him under mommy's shirt. (see below...no that's not a red hoodie he's sporting it's Heather's shirt he's snuggled under:)) Parker, not only had his feedings upped to 16 mls but he is also getting his PIC line taken out tonight!!!!! I'm very excited about getting one more foreign object extracted from the boys!! He had another good day of ventilation and found him self desatting less frequently and to a smaller degree. He has also been gaining some weight. How much weight?...check out the pics below to see:) Things are doing well for our little Parker. So all in all, I'm calling this three good days in a row.....we're on a roll!!!!!!
