We had a great drive in. Avery slept the WHOLE time! Izzy was even a good girl...she curled up on the Boppy and didn't move. We will definitely be traveling with the Boppy from now on. Usually she jumps back and forth from Josh's lap to mine and has a hard time settling on one of us. 
"Car rides make me sleepy!"
"Are we there yet?"
. She loves to be held!
Saturday was a busy day! We got up early and got dressed up for the day. 
She also got to cuddle with her Papa.
She will always be in good hands with him.
That evening the family came over to meet her. Noticably missing is Ms. Aleta. She got admitted to the hospital the Thursday before we got there with pneumonia in both lungs. She was on breathing treatments, antibiotics and steroids. It wasn't the same visiting with Josh's family without her being there...she was definitely missed.
Great Grandpa Obray
Aunt Sherri...she went right to sleep when Sherri picked her up.

We were planning on leaving Sunday...we got everything all packed up and ready to go.
On our way out we stopped by Jake's house so he could meet her.
Then we went to visit Jonnilin and Julian. Julian didn't know what to think about his momma holding another baby.
Sweet boy!
While we were at Jonnilin's house, we got a call from Josh's dad that his mom was transferred to ICU. She had gotten too much fluid with the IV and PO fluids that they were giving her and was in fluid volume overload. We did not feel comfortable leaving with her being so sick. So we turned around and went back home. 
So did Josh's Aunt Sandy.
Darus and Jamie came over too.
On Monday we were able to go see Ms. Aleta in the hospital. Josh's Aunt watched Avery for us to visit with her. She was feeling a little better, they had given her some diuretics and she was starting to put out some of the extra fluid. Josh had to get back to the clinic to see his patients so we came back to Texas on Monday. Avery was an angel in the car again and slept the whole time, except for when she got hungry.
We got back to the condo around 9pm, unpacked and headed for bed. Unfortunately all the sleeping in the car had Avery up all night. I also put her in her bassinet and she didn't like that either. So we were up most of the night. Today we have just been relaxing around the house. Its another FREEZING day, so I had no desire to go out in it. Avery has been very good today though, she took a 2 hour nap in her bassinet. Hopefully she will get used to sleeping in there.
I am defrosting some gumbo for dinner tonight, so we will eat that and just settle in and watch TV. Hopefully Avery sleeps well tonight. Keep Ms. Aleta in your prayers, they are going to move her out of ICU when a regular room opens up for her. Hopefully she is making a turn to start getting better.

I remember the first time we took Joe home. It was so nice for the family to finally meet him. Now we are so anxious to move back. You must be feeling the same way. When are ya'll moving back?
She is beautiful. She is so much bigger than my niece that was born the same day. She must be a good eater! My sisters little girl still nurses every 2-3 hours, but she is still so petit. Joe was just a big baby from the start (8lbs 5oz). Enjoy your little girl, she is precious.
