Mark's part in all of this. August 29

Niccole has been worried, because if Aislee were to come we couldn't have taken her home becuase we didn't have a baby carseat/carrier yet. This is Mark putting together the carrier so that it looks cute enough.
This is the carrier on the stroller.
Once that was all done, then it was on to building the swing.
Aislee's cute little swing.

Niccole's Home!!! August 28

Niccole was released on the 28th, and we got home at 11pm. She is ordered to be on bed rest for the rest of her pregnancy. She still feels great, and as of the 29th, her vitals have dramatically improved. The doctor said he had never seen someone improve so much in so little time. The Lord has helped her tremendously through her blessing and all of your prayers. Thanks!
Niccole was worried because we didn't have enough newborn clothes for Aislee. So we threw her a tiny shower of the essentials. This is showing how the singlet matches sizewise to her belly. As of the morning of the 29th, Aislee is about 5 lbs 12 oz according to the ultrasound measurements. That means even if Aislee comes now, she'll not be Preemie size. That has made us feel better about everything.

In the hospital August 27

As you can see, Niccole never really felt bad. Her Blood Pressure and other internal signs are her symptoms. It's a good thing that her routine checkup appointment found them all.
We were in this triage room for most of the day. Niccole's mom was here to take these pictures, she left not long after this because we were about to switch rooms (that's what we were told then at least).
Niccole taking her first bite of Hospital food. She then said, "Mmmm, I don't see why hospital food is spoken so poorly about." This meal was parmesian chicken. She later found some foods that weren't quite as tastey as her first, but her general opinion is that it's alright stuff.
This is the room that Niccole finally got moved to. It only took 4 or 5 hours for them to get the room cleaned. Apparently the housekeeping thought they'd cleaned it, and ignored the 5 phone calls they got from verious nurses saying that it wasn't, and needed to be cleaned. This room was much more comfortable for both Niccole and Mark.

Niccole's Big Belly August 22-23

Niccole is very proud of her big belly. I thought these pictures show it nicely.
