Fun times...

Home nurse Dawn came this morning. RyRy is up an ounce from Monday. Yesterday, we all just hung out at home so really there's nothing new on the home front.

As I said before, my sister and I are planning meals for the week. Monday night, T and I had Oven Crispy Chicken and last night we had meatballs and elbow macaroni spaghetti. Tonight, we're having Hamburger Casserole. You can see the recipes below.

Last night, while I was waiting for RyRy to wake up for a feeding, I made a slide show of her journey through the NICU. Enjoy!
