I can't believe how quickly time has passed. Next week, we will be celebrating Finn's second birthday and 2 months since Britta's surgery and she continues to astound us all!! There isn't much news here, she continues to gain weight, though still spitting up a good bit and still hanging on to a pesky cold. We go back to her cardiologist on Wednesday and we're hoping that her ECHO continues to show good results and that her heart is healing well and she will not need further surgeries. Her cardiologists have said that sometimes the valves that they have made will not grow with the babies and they have to go back in and widen them. We are really, really praying that this doesn't happen in Britta's case, though you just never know-- we never would've thought we'd end up in this situation in the first place.

We've started getting EOB's in from her first day of treatment. Prior to even being airlifted. I don't know whether to stroke out or just laugh when I open them. ;) Britta is okay, and that is truly all that matters. We know that, and are grateful for all of the amazing care that she received.

Britta met her grand-grandmother today for the first time. I wish I had thought to take a picture, but I was so nervous I forgot. Not nervous because I don't trust Grannie with the baby or anything like that, I just don't want to pass her off to anyone right now. I know that sounds selfish and ridiculous, but it is really difficult to let her go, even for a minute. I have become a total "hoverer" when it comes to B. I want her with me 24/7 and leaving her today with her grandparents and great-grandmother, even though it was just an hour was very, very hard for me.

Still, we are settling in with our family of 6. Does anyone else out there have 4 kids? If so, how the heck to you manage it?? Maybe it's the close ages of Britta and Finn, I don't know, but I am really struggling to find a routine we can all live with...

I continue to be amazed, humbled and grateful to all of you that have offered your help, support and prayers over the last couple of months. We are beyond blessed to have each and everyone of you in our corner.

Love to you all,
