Gianna's Due Date

So I just remembered that today (Oct 13th) was actually my due date for Gianna!  Today is definitely a special day - it's our nephew Peyton's 12th birthday and our little friend Madison's 5th birthday.  G's been with us almost 3 weeks now, but it sure seems like longer!  She had a great weekend with lots of visitiors, friends and neighbors bringing dinners, cards, calls and well-wishes from so many wonderful people in our lives.  We will truly Never be able to thank everyone adequately for their kindness to us during this time. 

Today's a big day for Gianna - she goes back to UK to have another head ultrasound.  Although I honestly think her head size has not grown much (or has even gone down a little) since coming home from the hospital, the ultrasound will give the neurosurgeon a better picture of what's actually going on with the cerebral spinal fluid in her brain.  If it is continuing to increase, then that will mean that there is more pressure being put on her brain and she will need the shunt surgery.  

I got her this bouncy seat yesterday - helps her to sit up and see what her brothers are doing!

Love this bow....

With future boyfriend Erik :-)
