Pink toga girlie

Weight check = 9.1 lbs. !!!! Yipee!!! Lilly is finally 9 lbs.!! Every pound she gains is such a milestone. Lilly had a cardiologist appointment today and the nurse rejoiced with me when we weighed Lilly.

Today's pictures are of Lilly in the cardiologist's office. She's wearing her pink blanket like a toga. We had a long wait today so we had fun playing around.


Dr. R, the cardiologist, was actually so surprised to see us in the waiting room that he called the cardiologist office at the hospital in Florida to make sure they had gotten Lilly's updated file and his request for her to have the VSD repair surgery.


When we talked to him I told him we were still waiting for a date. He said things must move as slowly down there as they do around here, and that this is typical since surgeons usually have waiting lists. Then he said that if we haven't heard anything in a week to let him know so that he could "harass" Dr. E, the chief surgeon. Dr. R was serious yet joking, as he had trained under Dr. E.


Lilly had another echo done and it showed that her heart was functioning excellent and the band looked good. The walls of her heart are continuing to thicken however, so he again said he wanted Lilly to have surgery within the next month.


After Lilly's appointment, we went into the nearby Whole Foods to pick up a few things. It was one of Lilly's rare outings into a store. She loved it. I had her in the Moby Wrap and she just looked around in amazement. She tried to be Extra-Sneaky Lilly though. While shopping I noticed that she was missing a sock. I retraced my steps in the store but couldn't find it. I figured it was gone forever. But, much to Lilly's disappointment, I found the sock in the parking lot.
