There was talk of a movie and possibly some snacks and a midnight run of antibiotics.<\/p>\n<p>She&#8217;s feeling and acting a lot better after receiving two bags of red blood cells.  She&#8217;s not feeling 100% but definitely better than earlier today.  We are going to head in to the hospital tomorrow and hang with them a bit.  Probably have lunch with them&#8230;&#8230;or maybe dinner&#8230;.or both?  Who knows?<\/p>\n<p>We just spoke with Jon and Geli on Skype and now I&#8217;ve kicked Xandra and Jeremy up to bed.  I&#8217;ve got to go and &#8220;encourage them&#8221; to actually shut the lights out and go to sleep and then I&#8217;m headed to bed myself.  It was a LOOOOOOONG night last night and solo parenting is not easy and I&#8217;m not sure how long I&#8217;ll be at it.  So I gotta sleep when I can&#8230;.and unfortunately, I don&#8217;t do daytime naps as easy as I&#8217;d like.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, my parents are AMAZING, and they&#8217;ve kept Siah overnight.  They had him last night (<em>which was a blessing<\/em>) and they are keeping him again tonight.  He still wakes up in the middle of the night and climbs into our bed.  It&#8217;s not that big of a deal, but typically him and Judah tag team each other and only one of them is up at a time&#8230;&#8230;..which means that if they are both here&#8230;..I don&#8217;t get hardly any sleep.  The worst thing&#8230;.when he sleeps at my mom&#8217;s house&#8230;.Siah stays in his own bed.  What is up with that?  Oh well, I just keep telling myself that this is not a forever thing.  One day I&#8217;ll wish for cuddles&#8230;.I will try to enjoy and appreciate every one I can get right now.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for all your prayer and support.  We really appreciate it.<\/p>\n<p><center><object type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" data=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/apps\/video\/stewart.swf?v=71377\" classid=\"clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000\"><param name=\"flashvars\" value=\"intl_lang=en-us&#038;photo_secret=011e954da6&#038;photo_id=5861227343\"><\/param><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/apps\/video\/stewart.swf?v=71377\"><\/param><param name=\"bgcolor\" value=\"#000000\"><\/param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><\/param><\/object><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Excuse the stupid sound that I make with my mouth.  Judah was doing that and I was trying to capture it on video cause he was doing it ALL DAY!  But when I turned my iPhone on so that he could see himself in the camera he got so excited and stopped doing it.  But his little happiness and laughter is so contagious&#8230;&#8230;.It&#8217;s too good to keep to myself.  Sometimes I wish I could bottle it up and give it away.
