Go blue!

Elly met Annie's new neonatologist today (they rotate -apparently dealing with Elly can be very tiring) and, great news, he is a Michigan alum! Annie has been increasingly active and practicing field goal kicks in anticipation of his arrival.

Annie's previous neonatologist still visits and checks in on her. We just adore her; particularly her patience and ability to speak to overly anxious non-medically trained parents. That being said, her real talent lies in managing Elly when she makes the mistake of looking up things on the internet. This, by the way, is the cardinal rule of having a preemie in the NICU --READ NOTHING (especially when it's 10 years out of date).

Yes, indeed, go Blue - but don't drop her on the concrete floor...that's something we don't need to turn into a tradition. I won't make the 3-lb party but have commissioned Gran to bring a contribution on my behalf; I trust she'll do me proud. We all here are delighted to read about Annie's progress. I understand she's to have her eyes examined soon...which is better: 1 or 2? 3 or 4?

hail to the babies valiant...hail to the conquering NICU...

i don't know any more of the real song, so that's my limit. usually i just sing "hail, hail, let's all hail now, la la la la Michigan"

hooray for a three pound Annie!
