New Site Layout and Updates

2009-01-04T20:48:00Z

Well, it took a little longer than expected due to some server problems, but the new site is up. I've upgraded to the latest version of Community Server, which has required some significant changes. They changed their licensing, eliminating the version that I had previously used, which had unlimited photo galleries, but now I'm stuck with a max of 15 galleries. So I had to change the way the photos are organized, using tags. I've done what I could to mimic galleries the way that they used to be, so hopefully you'll still be able to find the pictures that you want. There is also a gallery for my videos now, so you can find them all here, without having to go to youtube directly. If anything seems to be strange to you, let me know, so I can fix it.

Morning Update

2008-07-24T15:02:00Z

When I got back from the house (so I could shower), they had taken Sydney off of the oxygen. So we went in, and Erin ***-fed her for the very first time. Everything is looking good now. Their plan is for Sydney to join us in the room this afternoon, and then the girls will be discharged tomorrow sometime. So, for now, that's about it. I'll update again if something changes....(read more)

Quick Sydney Update

2008-07-23T21:04:00Z

Just a quick update on everything. Sydney is currently in the NICU. She was being stubborn and not wanting to breathe when she first came out, so they took her there at first to watch her. She was doing better on her own, and then she started breathing heavy, so they put her back on oxygen. The neonatologist came and told us about a bunch of different things that he didn't think it was, as well as a few things that it might be. She's on antibiotics right now, just in case it's an infection...(read more)
