Sharing Our Joy: Savannah's PDA is CLOSED!!

The best news of the week!! It was still open when she left the NICU. "Functionally closed" they said, but nevertheless, it was still open. Well on Wednesday, we found out that it now closed. The cardiologist cleared her. She is well on her way to overcoming the effects of her prematurity. She now weighs 10lbs 12oz and 22.5 inches. She is in the 25% for her adjusted age of 3 months. She is wearing 0-3 months and some 3 month dresses.

Her BFF from the NICU, Paisynn, (formerly know as Baby P. I finally just ask her mom if I could post her picture) and Savannah had a professional photo shoot for easter. The girls are natural posers :) Well on their way to being BFFs as her mom and I have already determined for them. It's hard to photograph two babies on two different schedules and who can't sit up, but we got some cute shots. Thank you faith for your patience! ( check out faith photos at www.damongallery.com/faithphotos) I've posted our sneak preview for you. Paisynn is going to having surgery soon for an umbilical hernia so please keep her in your prayers. She is doing great as well though. She is a little bigger than Savannah now.

Kevin and I attended our second to last March for Babies speech. Kevin is a trooper. We made it through an hour long presentation before it was our turn. He was a little distracting but he did well considering his age :) We had a large audience (400ish) so I'm just glad we had the opportunity to share our story and further the mission of the march for babies. Kevin of course was his usual self. He grabbed the mic and shared his thoughts as well. He was encouraged by the laughter that he received. I was really proud of him because he was tired and hungry. I left my purse in Savannah's diaper bag which stayed with Savannah at Oma's so I had no money to buy a snack for him. He endured it and was later rewarded with a good serving of Oma's spaghetti.

Our walk is May 7th. You can still join us or donate if you haven't already...our website is www.marchforbabies.org/team/prayersgranted. Every penny counts! We're almost at our goal of $3,000 so you can help us reach it.

Kevin's FIRST lollipop. He snuck it in while I was picking pictures at the studio. Some girls have their expensive shoes, Some girls have their expensive purses...Me well I have my professional pictures. lol they aren't cheap but I love good pictures and feel that my kids will appreciate it when they're older. Anyways, I allowed him to have about a 1/3 of it. He throughly enjoyed it. I'll post the pictures once I have the prints.
