Food goes in, Poop comes out

I am utterly amazed at the amount of views on each of my blog posts! I'm so thankful for the continued support from my friends, family, community, and total strangers.

Scarlett  pooped twice last night!! I'm so excited. It's a big step in the right direction. I hate I missed those dirty diapers. Oh well, there will be more to come.

She has to have surgery Monday morning. The PDA didn't close and its been two rounds of meds with no effect. It's scary to know my tiny baby will be having surgery, but I know she's strong and it will do so much good for her when it comes to her lungs and heart.

She's also being fed today and will continue to be fed after she comes off the anesthetic Monday afternoon. It's exciting, because now she should start gaining weight and growing.

I'm nervous. I'm staying at home in Jacksonville tonight, and then I return to Wilmington tomorrow by myself. Ben has to return to work on Monday and handle all the paperwork to get Scarlett on his insurance and enrolled in the programs on base. I knew it was coming, but it's going to be rough not having him by my side. He's my rock. He keeps me laughing and keeps me sane while driving me crazy. I'm sure I'll blow his phone up during the week while he's at home and I'm there. We printed out pictures of Scarlett for him to keep on his desk at work, and to keep here at home. He's really going to be such an excellent daddy y'all. He worries so much, but he never lets it show. Scarlett is definitely going to be daddy's girl.

Please continue to pray everything works out with our housing situation so we can move into the new place this month. We still have a lot on our plates to worry about, but I know God has got us and is going to take care of us.

Also, make sure you get your baby Scarlett t-shirt. Anyone can email me to get the paypal information to pay for one.
