Holy Toledo!

Perhaps this was the bewildered look on the faces of U-M fans yesterday:




Meanwhile, our mini-Spartan is 3-0 as an MSU good luck charm of sorts...she wears a bit of State gear every Saturday, including yesterday, when she received an awesome little "wooby" blanket (is that how you spell wooby?)!


Sparty On!

First Mommy Birthday

Yesterday was my birthday...and first one as "Mommy". Paige and I spent the day together, and Grandma & Grandpa Parrott offered to babysit so Matt and I could go out to dinner. But guess what we talked about during our "adult time"? Lil' Miss Paige, of course! I admitted to Matt that I felt guilty for leaving her, and he said he felt the same. I don't think she held it against us.

Paige was going to help me open my gifts, but as you can see, she fell asleep when I turned my head for 2 seconds, and didn't wake up until she had the opportunity to bite Daddy's nose. But I appreciated the gifts she "picked out" to help me stay awake with her: a new mug from Beaners--I mean Biggby--and a gift card to fill it, plus chocolate. What a smart daughter. And Dad.

Thanks to my friends and family for a Happy Birthday :) I leave you with not only pics from yesterday, but some sleepy smiles I caught earlier this week.

3 Weeks!!

Sorry we have been so slow on the updates, but it has been a little crazy around the Parrott household. 

So here is the latest.

On Friday October 3rd we had another appointment at the DeVos Children's Hospital, more blood drawn and more tests. However at the end of this one, instead of then saying we will see you in a few days, they said we no longer have to come. That Paige's blood work was looking great and her platelets were doing excellent, and that we could go home free and clear. So that was a big relief...It is so amazing for us to think that 3 weeks ago it was the most frightening and scary situation we have ever been in, and now we have the most beautiful little HEALTHY baby daughter. We really could not have done it without all the help from our family and friends. We truly thank you and reward you with some pictures.
