Not Premature Anymore

Gracie had her follow up at Sibley Heart Center today. If you recall, we had taken her into the center to get checked out after she had some abnormalities on her ECG after she was born. She still had some of the premature beats when we took her in to be evaluated. At that evaluation she also had an echo-cardiogram done and her heart was found to be structurally sound. We were worried that we would be seeing the cardiologist on a very regular basis throughout Gracie's childhood. I was even worried that it may effect the way she was able to interact with other kids as she got older.

But those fears were squashed today. Anna Grace has nothing premature on her ECG anymore! The doc told us that we were "welcomed to come back but not expected to". Some of you can probably imagine the relief we felt when we heard the news. It is nice to know that it will be mom and dad holding her back and not something with her heart.

We have also been very busy over the past few weeks. We have been out of town twice. The first time was for a wedding in South Carolina We were up and back in one day, but Anna Grace traveled wonderfully. We even took a weekend trip to the Ga coast and she did great. Me and Em were eaten alive by bugs, but Gracie did great! She loves the car.

We are now at 11 weeks old, 11 pounds 12 ounces, and 24 inches long. She is eating 6 ounces at a clip and even sleeps for 6 whole hours at a time. She looks great and seems to be adjusting nicely. You can tell she is even trying to communicate and does alot of "talking". She is very active and is strong. The bobble head is almost gone and she will stand up in my lap with just some help to steady her. She has even started to roll over occasionally. She is jut figuring it all out.

If only her parents were doing so well.....

Keep Smiling,
