Sat Master

My daddy says I'm sometimes a "Sat Master". He only calls me that when I show him I can breathe enough to make my O2 saturation sit at 100%. I'm holding daddy right now and I'm sating 100% because he likes it when I do that. I've been sitting on daddy's chest holding him since about 3:30pm this afternoon and I'm not moving until 7:45pm this evening. I ate on daddy and I got a diaper change on daddy. It's amazing how when daddy puts his hand on my back and behind, he makes me so warm and comfortable that I just feel the need to poop. Mommy couldn't stop laughing about it.

So I'm comfortably full with 11 CCs in my tummy for this three hours, my bottom is clean and my daddy snuggles me in so I stay really warm. I love this feeling!!!!!

Daddy has been telling me stories all afternoon. He told me about my great-grandpa being in the military, and then he told me about my Grandpa Dicker who fought in the Korean War. Daddy has said a few times since I was hatched that he wasn't going to let me be in the military or be in sports because I'm so tiny and weak. But today he feels my little body on his and he knows I'm a tough little fighter. He told me that if I promise to grow big and get more tough, he'll let me join the Army. He says it has to be the Army because he'll beat me up if I join the Navy. I don't really get it, but daddy was in the Army, so I assume he wants me to follow in his footsteps...just like he followed in his daddy's footsteps! My grandpa fought in a war, he's awesome!

Daddy also told me about mommy's family. He says they are all Canadians because they live in Canada. Daddy told me that Canadians play lots of hockey and are really good at it. Daddy doesn't want me to be a hockey player because he's afraid I'll get my teeth knocked out. My Grandpa Hewlitt played hockey when he was in school. He was a goalie and he's not missing any teeth.

Speaking of my Grandpa Dicker and Grandpa Hewlitt....I got to see them both today. Grandpa Dicker came up with Grandma Orr this morning and visited with me and mommy. Grandma Orr was so excited because I showed her how I've been practicing opening my eyes. They come to visit me almost every day because they live just down the road. I'm always happy to see them!! Mommy said there's been a lot of testosterone in my room today, more than usual.

Grandpa Hewlitt, or Grandpa Bob as I like to call him, called mommy this afternoon and asked if he could come and visit me. Grandpa Bob doesn't get to come and visit as often as Grandma Hewlitt does because he's always making things out of wood, so it's exciting when he comes to visit me! He really wanted to see me with my eyes open. I made sure when he got here that I opened them as wide as I could, but that wasn't very wide because I'm so little. I love it when Grandma Hewlitt comes too...she always brings a friend with her. She had to work today though, she's not retired like Grandpa Bob. She'll be here on Thursday:) And I will get all her attention!!!

Okay, the nurse is making me stop holding daddy now so I have to go for awhile. I've had a good day and we're all hoping I continue doing well....more later:)
