What's happening in CA today?

Well, Travis and Tanner are curled up on the bed right now, taking their first nap together. It is the sweetest thing ever!

Last night was great. I was super nervous about how Tanner would react to leaving the hospital, but it just couldn't have been any better. We got up with him twice (well, really once since I never went to sleep before the first feeding!:)) and he ate and went right back to sleep. I am happy to say that he slept in his travel bed (inside the pack and play) ALL night! :) He was very content. He is feeding much, much better and spitting up much less since he was switched to soy formula. Man, does that stuff stink! :)

We went to church at The Vineyard today (Amber and her mom's church). It is a community church that made us feel SO at home. It was great. Connie held Tanner the entire time and, of course, slept through the entire service. I am sure he was thinking, "hey, this sounds familiar." :) Connie's husband, Eric, said a special prayer for Tanner with the entire church. It was the most special thing...I just can't even tell you. The tears were flowing! :) It was just such a special thing to be able to attend church with Amber's family. Connie (aka Tanner's California Meme:)) has just been so amazing to us. She has welcomed us in a way that has just made this so wonderful.

After church, we had to deal with my first big baby brain boo boo...I was supposed to extend our hotel reservations (which I only originally booked through today) sometime over the weekend. Well, you know where my mind an dbody have been so, needless to say, I forgot to do that. So, I found our bill under our door this morning...ready for us to checkout by 11am today. Yeah...it wasn't good. I called the front desk only to find out that ALL the rooms like ours were booked. We were loosing our room! :) Luckily, the hotel manager was great to us and put us in a king suite for the nearly the same rate we were paying for the smaller room. It was definitely stressful packing up and moving down the hall, but this room is so much more practical for an extended stay. We are quite comfy in here! :)

Amber was discharged from the hospital today and is doing well. She says she is moving slowly, but feels good. We are going to visit with her at her apartment tonight. It will be good to spend more time with her out of the hospital. She really is a lot of fun to talk with. So funny.

Well, we are headed out soon to stock up on the new formula before we run out. Wal-Mart, here we come! :)

Lots and lots of love!

Becki, Travis and Tanner
