We've been home a week now, and I can't believe it! It's going really, really well. Merrill has so far, been a great baby! Emery has slept worse than her this week- she's got an allergic reaction to something and is up all night itching, but we can't figure out what its from!
I am feeling really good. I've ventured to the mall (only one store though), Target, and the post office. I'm ready to start getting out, but I do want to be so careful about getting Merrill out. I really wanted to go to the church holiday party on wednesday. I thought that if I put her in the sling she would be hidden from the crowd. But, I had SEVERAL people that talked me out of it!!! We're looking forward to lots of Christmas festivities these next few days! This is my favorite time of the year, and (sorry to be cheesey!) but having Merrill here this year makes it even better! Attempts to get a christmas card picture....

She's Here!!
Merrill Elizabeth Byerly is here!!!I had the best intentions of posting yesterday, but it just hasn't happened! The birth could not have been smoother- makes me look silly for being worried about it! Our baby girl weighed in at 6 lbs, 6 ounces, and was 19 inches long... she's so, so tiny!!! We are all doing great and feel so blessed to have our baby girl here! Thanks for checking on us and I'll post more pictures when I have time. We've taken so many...

Tomorrow, tomorrow....(to be sung to the tune of the Annie song)
I can't believe that tomorrow is the day! Merrill will be here in about 9 hours! And what am I doing? Blogging!! I know we should go to bed, and we will here in a second, but we have just finished up so last minute things- like packing a bag. How long have we known about this day?? We're very excited, but yet I'm very nervous about the surgery too! I hope that we can update from the hospital, so stay tuned! Daddy had more fun at chucky-e-cheese than Emery did....
I bet Emery rode in the red car close to 15 times, but I couldn't seem to get her to smile for the camera!

updated request
I wanted to update on something I had requested a few weeks ago. I had asked for you guys to pray for Lindsey Bush Mcrae's younger sister, Melanie. Melanie lost her battle with cancer this past Thursday. Please keep the Bush family in your prayers.

did you know?
if your child has a fever of 102.7 degrees, a hersey kiss will melt in her hand? I was taking Emery's temp and over the course of 5 minutes, it started melting and running down her hand! amazing... We've been healthy since we started the new breathing treatments three weeks ago, and yesterday we started the coughing thing again! It's been just fine though... we've gotten to watch movies together all day and both ate junk from McDonalds! (I will not disclose how many chicken nuggets I ate- I know so gross!)
I had another doctor's appointment today, and guess what? There is still NO activity! I'm so thankful for my doctor this time; she sees humor in this and it makes us both excited that there is an end in sight! (rather than waiting for my body like last time!)
