Jacob's daddy just got back from a little break and brought her flowers... I could hear the smile in her sleepy voice. The waiting room is OPEN and strong coffee, ice cold milk and hot, fresh chocolate chip cookies are in abundance... Enjoy!

I got a couple of text messages from her - I sure hope all is well - darn crowded hospitals anyways - don't they know our LVBelle is the most important patient they have right now!!
