Sad Day

I've been too exhausted to blog lately! haha Avery keeps me on my toes. I don't mind one bit, I'll sleep when she's oh maybe 5? Seriously though she is up all night and sleeps all day. I'm going to have to try and reverse this...wish me luck!
On a different and much sadder note, Meg, Avery and I made a quick trip to Nashville yesterday. Yesterday was my birthday. It was a great day until one phone call changed everything.
My Pap-paw is not doing well. He's at Vanderbilt and had surgery but there are some other things going on. I'm not going to go into details because it's not really mine to tell, and my family is very private when it come to things like this. I felt like we needed to go see him and he hadn't met Avery. I struggled with the decision on taking Avery in the hospital but everyone insisted it would be fine as long as no one touched her and she stayed covered up. I wasn't sure until I got there as to what I would do. My Pap-paw doesn't have anything contagious so I decided to take her in and let him see her. I'm so glad I did. When we went in I told him I had a surprise, I lifted the blanket and the expression on his face was priceless. I'll never forget it. He said "oh!!! you brought my baby! She's so pretty he said :) That just made me so happy and I know it did him too.
Her visit was very short but I just wanted him to see her. I was going to take her to the car and me and Meg were going to take turns setting with her, but our family had it's own waiting room so that worked out great. It wasn't assigned or anything but there were so many of us we took up the whole thing! That made me feel better so we stayed in the waiting room with Avery. She pretty much slept the whole time and as always she was a great baby.
Please keep my Pap-paw and family in your prayers. I love him dearly. I'm so tired of all the sickness and loss this year has brought for me and my family. I'm just kind of numb to it all.
On our way home we were too close to Centennial not to stop by and let Avery's night nurses see her. All three of her primary night nurses were there last night Laura, Dani, and Kim. I was so glad to see them and they were so glad to see Avery. She slept the whole time but they didn't mind they were just glad we stopped by. We didn't get to see Becca her day primary nurse :( Next time we go we'll have to plan it so that we'll see her.
Avery was wide awake the whole ride home but she was so good. I drove and Meg sat in the back with her. Meg and I had karaoke in the car so that kept Avery entertained and me awake.
