More Visitors!

Last weekend Jen came to visit! It was so nice to hang out with a best friend and get to know her little boy (who we will refer to as kiddo for safety's sake) since we haven't lived in the same state since before he was born. It was such a fun weekend! Jen is so chill and her kiddo is such a trooper to play in the hospital lobby all day, most days.
Oh, we were able to drive around Pittsburgh and show them some of it and where Adam goes to school.

And, since this doorag is still too big on Brigham, we decided to try it on little kiddo. Turns out his head size was perfect for it. Look at his best biker face?

 Oh, and we did take Jen's little kiddo on a walk to a nearby cemetery. It is beautiful - Pittsburgh's largest and oldest cemetery. They have huge tombs, graves and monuments with stain glass and statues as high as office buildings. It was quite an experience.

On their last full day here we were able to take Brigham outside where he and kiddo could meet :) (as long as they didn't touch. there are certain precautions since Brigham is still getting antibiotics) Look at those faces!

When Adam and I first brought Brigham down to meet kiddo we found him like this: doesn't this remind you of peter pan in Hook?

disclaimer: Jen was standing by even though it doesn't appear so. she was letting him get a nap.

Adam's parents gave little Brigham his own little jersey. Adam is pretty stoked they'll get to wear matching BYU paraphernalia for the upcoming season. I have to admit, father and son look pretty awesome and stoked for this year.

Brigham has been strong enough to do tummy time. In fact, he's super strong and growing everyday.

Also, we've been able to take him on stroller rides back behind the facility on this walkway. It's so nice to get him outside since all three of us get a little cabin fever in his room, so we just walk up and down that little walkway. It's so fun for Brigham!

Visitors!

The few weeks we've had a slew of visitors. It has been so much fun and broke up the hospital monotony.

Two weekends ago Adam's parents came to meet their grandson! They are leaving on a mission in a few days to Manaus, Brazil. So, it was especially nice to have them here so we could spend some time with them before they leave.

While they were here, it was Dad's birthday and it was very fun to celebrate with him. Adam's sister and her family also were here with us for the weekend, but for some reason none of those pictures came through. I'll have to get some from her and add them later. oops.

We are very excited for them and they are going to be exceptional missionaries!

For the last week and a half Adam has been sick - not horribly sick - but sick enough to keep him in bed and away from Brigham. Obviously, Brigham is in a fragile state and can't be risked coming into contact with any sickness. So, Dad and son haven't seen each other in a long time. That is why today is so very thrilling. Now we don't need to video chat Adam from the hospital for him to see Brigs:

Today, Adam was well enough to go see Brigs! What a day to celebrate because...

In the last week a lot has happened....including a very successful check-up trip to the cardio team.

Where he got to ride in a stroller for the first time. Luckily he loved it!

He also got his dressings off his chest so he can wear clothes and onsies now. Cute!

Also, everything else is just getting better. There have been so many improvements in the last week. Too many for me to mention here. We are just going to celebrate the normal baby experience that Brigham is just beginning to experience (ex. car rides, stroller rides, clothes)
