Lazy Sunday.

Chanel was released from the hospital this morning after a long nights stay in the hospital. The baby did not want to stop tumbling around and kicking last night while we were trying to sleep. Unfortunately for Chanel, Isabella was kicking right where the small 1/4 inch incision was on her belly. Chanel was in so much pain but there was not anything we could do, of course. Also the baby monitor that was strapped to her stomach all night  had to be re-positioned by hospital staff. The monitor, which resembles to small ultrasound-type devices keeps track of the baby's heartbeat and any contractions. Because Isabella would not stop moving, nurses came in and out of our room about 6 or 7 times to wake us up and fix the straps on Chanel. Needless to say, it was a long night. We were released at 9 am and called a cab to take us back to the Ronald McDonald House where we could finally get some sleep. After a short nap, we decided to shower, do some laundry, and snack on some cookies that were made for the families of the RMcDH  by Wells Fargo employee volunteers. It so neat to see all the volunteers that are coming in and out making meals for the families. Two days ago we even ran into the missionaries, who perform their weekly service here. Last night a local high school N.H.S. members came and baked homemade pizza for us. Chanel and I are so grateful for all they do for us everyday and the time they take to help all the families, which number about 20 in all. Right now we are sitting in the dining room watching the Broncos vs. the Bears game while local members in the community are cooking chili and cornbread. I'm following the Cardinals game through ESPN.com on my laptop just waiting till dinner is ready. I'm also preparing the photos that we will be posting on the blog sometime soon.
