Lindy’s Special Day Observed

Sunday, December 19th marked three years since Lindy came home from the NICU.  After 143 days in three different hospitals, Duke finally discharged her to us, just in time for Christmas!  Will had been home for about 6 weeks and we were SO ready for her to come join our family.

She went from a 1 pound 9 ounce nuggetto about a 6 pound baby in 143 days (I can’t find the actual weight right now).We were so excited for her to come home!And get to really ‘meet’ her brother!

We celebrated her ‘special day’ today by going to the Children’s Museum in Greensboro.  It was really nice and the kids had a blast.  They had all kinds of really neat things to climb in and out of.  An airplane cockpit, a train, a real fire truck, a real police car, a real race car, and then just tons more to play with. The human centrifuge!Here is something I hope to never see in real life:  the kids in the back of a police car!They had a neat little room set up as a news room.  I was giving the weather forecast and Lindy was watching me on tv.  Will and I made quite a good pair of newscasters.  We took our jobs seriously.After spending a couple hours playing, we took Lindy out for some chips and a cheese quesadilla.  She almost ate the entire thing, I think she liked her lunch!

A fun day was had by all.  I don’t think Lindy really got why it was her special day but I hope she had fun.
