I have 4 more days with my angel before she gets her heart fixed! I am trying not to think about it, I get all teary eyed when I do. I am trying to enjoy every moment I have with her. We have been on walks all week. We go for about an hour, it's the only thing lately that seems to sooth her. She has not been wanting to eat and screams, yes screams, when we put the bottle to her mouth. I have never heard her make those noises before. Sometimes she starts screaming for no reason! I am going to give it the rest of today and tomorrow and if things don't improve I am going to take her to the Dr. She doesn't have a fever but I'm thinking maybe her ears are bothering her. I really have no idea! I am crossing my fingers that she is just being stubborn because if she is sick it could delay surgery. Ms. Cheryl came over this morning for a weight check and Brooklynn has gained 2 oz since last week. She is now 8lbs 10oz on her scale. She has been growing in length and is now 22 inches!

Last weekend we were able to meet several families with D.S. babies. Many of the children there also had to have their hearts repaired. I found that to be extremely helpful. We now have an idea of what to expect. I wish that this is still something we didn't have to prepare for but I can't change that. I am so ready to just enjoy my baby with a healthy heart!
