You know I'm bad, I'm bad


So David has already started his Michael Jackson impersonation! So the high points of the day.
1. We both got to hold him today!!! This is one of the small things that has become more and more huge to us. WE LOVE that we get to cuddle and bond with our Little Bit.
2. I am amazed more and more with Nicole. Knowing that David has so much of her in who he is gives me such great hope that he is going to be an amazing child.
3. David got baptized!!! We rejoice in him receiving this and doing it like a champ, no crying (from him) and just knowing that David was surrounded by his family who promised to raise him to Love and Serve God, looking to help others around him and to do justice for the Kingdom of God.
4. Our Favorite nurse was back. Nancy has given David and us so much love and comfort. I have an amazing respect and love for nurses because they do so much of the work and get to know the patients so well. We will eventually be back in the NICU and today Nancy told us that she is going to get him back and that made us very happy.

Now on to the hard parts of the day:
1. I left and picked up some stuff from the house in Bowling Green to get more clothes and do make sure the house was ok and all that fun stuff. It was really hard to walk into David's room and also to walk into a house that looked like it did when we left, like people throwing things around the house at 3 to drive like crazy.
2.David's baptism while exciting and loving was also hard on us. It was something we had thought about doing in a big celebration with our church family at Mt. Olivet. It was just another reminder that our plan of life and raising David has been thrown upside down and we are still adjusting (read reeling).
3. Louisville is playing in it's first bowl game since 2006. I was looking forward to us watching it together in his Louisville onsie cheering on the Cards. However when he screams and gets fussy his lil face turns red so we are going to say that, that was how he is cheering on his Cards!
4. The realization of what is going to happen tomorrow more and more and we are flat out terrified.
5. David got a little fussy as the night went on and eventually it got to the point where we couldn't touch him a whole lot because it only made him worse.

All in all we are going to have a long day tomorrow but David is going to have a harder and longer one. His fight is absolutely inspiring and we can't wait to see him moonwalk.
