Closing in on 37 weeks and 6 pounds

Not much to say today except Happy Birthday to Harry. We're headed to our last crawfish boil party we'll ever go to without Douglas to celebrate. He's hangin in there at 5lb 14 oz and doing well... we're just waiting as patiently as we can for him to get to all bottle feeds and no apnea. Its getting pretty old, especially for Melissa who goes twice a day nearly every day, but we can see the light at the end of the tunnel, and I think Doug can too.

Also my Grandmother Fay "Damaw" Schuler passed on earlier this week, which I'm sure was a great relief to her. I like to think she can finally see her new great grandson now, and smile down in peace. Maybe she even gets to meet his namesake, who I like to think is also smiling down, maybe having a laugh with his two Grandfathers. Wherever they all are, I hope the fishing is good.

Big thanks to my sister Lisa for flying into Shreveport from Puerto Rico to be with our mom and help get everything taken care of. We expect to see "Meems" in Austin soon now, with any luck just about the time Duggie comes home.
