Blogity blog blog

Hello everyone, sorry we haven't posted in a while. I won't try to offer some lame excuse about being busy etc. Basically we haven't been able to tear ourselves away from our baby long enough to cross the room and sit at the computer for 15 minutes.

Mirabel is doing really well. She's happy and rolling over (almost). And this week, after never really taking to the bottle, her PT Gay tried giving her some water from a spoon and Mirabel loved it! Her first time she was reaching out to grab the spoon for more.

I know there are so many of you out there praying for her all the time but a few more this week wouldn't hurt. She is going to Children's on Thursday for a heart cath. Before her next surgery the doctors need to get an inside look at her heart to make sure the internal pressures are where they need to be for surgery. If everything looks good they'll schedule her second surgery in a month or so. If things look bad, they will probably reactivate her on the transplant list and if it's somewhere in between, well, we'll just have to see. We might not know the plan right away, but I'll be sure to post something on Friday just so everyone knows that the cath went well.

Okay, you've been very patient. Here are the photos you've been waiting for.
Out and about in the sunshine

Looking at the fishes on Mother's Day (We took her Grandma's to the Seattle Aquarium).

Happy baby!

She loves her daddy :D

Sitting up

Noms! (This picture greeted Mommy on her first Mother's Day)


I love this one because it looks like she's pulled one over on Mommy and is sharing the joke

Beautiful eyes


Look! Grandpa and I both have cowboy hats!

I think this might be a little big ...

(In case you were wondering, we tag-teamed this blog so that neither one of us had to be away from her for too long ;)).

I don't blame you ONE bit for not being able to pull yourselves away from that sweet girl!

Would you want any company at children's tomorrow for Mirabel's cath? Luke and I would gladly drive up ... bring lunch or something. We will be praying!
