What a day! We had an ultrasound, toured the labor and delivery, and took a childbirthing class! Oh, and it is only 4 o'clock. We also met baby Jack. Jack is another exstrophy baby. He was so cute and looked excited to meet us. His mom was a great resource and will be in Baltimore for the next three weeks. I have a feeling that Julie and her will become close during our stay. It was great to talk to see what our baby will be enduring in the hospital.
On another note, my computer is on the fritz. Luckily, as we learned with our digital camera, I am very good at buying the service plan. So, while our computer is on the mend, we will be "hopping" from computer to computer, updating the blog. We are so thrilled that many people have responded. Feel free to share the blog and pictures with others. Right now we are at The Children's House. The Children's House provides housing for parents with kids that are patients in the hospital. We are not allowed to stay here yet, but Maxine has started volunteering and they are allowing us to use their computers. She has already spent a few hours teaching someone how to use email! The Childrens House has Playstation, Xbox, and a pool table. All a dad could want! The people here are very nice and the house is so cheerful with several murals painted on the walls. They provide dinners throughout the week to help the families offset some of the cost.
We love you all and appreciate your prayers and support!

Hello Chad and Julie
I was so glad to hear from you!! I am praying all your needs are met - physical, emotional, and spiritual. I pray you sense His presence and provision!!! Thanks for keeping me posted - please call if you have any questions! And you are a precious couple! The pics are great - even at Wal-mart!!! Have no shame -- Do what you gotta do!
I remembered my other favorite nurses: Mel (a young nurse from Florida)and Denise Tolzman (been there about 18 or so years). They loved on Katelyn! As did all of the nurses there!!!!!
