After dropping my Mom off at the airport this morning we went and spent a few hours with Brady. She is doing well and is up to 24-Cal feedings, though she is down 5 grams from her previous weight. Hopefully tonight she is up a bit. We also got to put some clothes on her for the first time today, so no more nekked baby. She looked kind of shocked when we put it on her, we will see if she is still wearing it when we go back this evening.
We are heading back over to the hospital at 8:30ish this evening and are going to ring in the New Year as a family. Hopefully we can see the fireworks on top of Pike’s Peak from Brady’s room. Kelly informed me today that this is the first time that we have been here in the Springs for New Years in quite a few years, as last year we were in Austin, the year before that in Las Vegas. She thinks 2003 is the last time we may have been here at this time. Weird.
I have been thinking about picking up a Netbook for working and being a little more mobile around the house. The HP makes a great one called the Mini 1000, its a 10.2in widescreen display, comes with an 8gb or 16gb SSD and 1GB of memory (when you order from the HP site). I have been watching a few YouTube vids of folks doing boot time testing and app performance and it looks pretty solid. Although I may wait until next month when they are expected to release a Linux version with 2GB of RAM stock. This will probably be cheaper considering the liscensing costs for a Microsoft OS and then I can just wipe it and put my VLK copy of XP Pro on there. Then again I could see if I can convince my boss to just cough up the cash for a new battery for my work laptop and carry that beast around the house or to and from the hospital but somehow I doubt that will happen. I also saw a video of someone that had loaded Windows 7 on their HP Mini. That may be the ticket since they are releasing Beta1 next month.
Anyway. Here are some pics that we snapped of Brady this morning while I was holding her and after we dressed her in her onesie. I imagine we will have more pics from this evening that we will post either when we get home or early tomorrow am. Oh btw we went and bought some sparkling cider to take to the hospital for us and the nurses on duty this evening.
Happy New Year’s, guys!!! Love the photos from today!!! You can tell Brady is quickly filling out and growing everyday! Her facial expressions are priceless; I especially love her big smiles. Can’t wait to see New Year’s Part II!
She’s changed so much already! Love the pics of her smiling. 🙂 Happy New Year!!
