Good news!

Evie partying at Noodles & Company.

Great news. Evie's ultrasound results came back completely normal! Thank goodness. :) We took the girls out for dinner and ice cream to celebrate. Evie's first restaurant outing! Since Evie only likes milk, Amelia got to pick the spot.

Also, her belly button finally fell off, which is quite exciting around here. Way back when, the NICU docs could not get a line in her little hand so they ran her IV line right into her belly button and used sutures to hold it in. The sutures remained after the line came out and so her belly button hung on for quite some time. Amelia is happy it finally fell off so her real belly button can now get totally wet in the bathtub. She loves to help give Evie her bath. Evie doesn't even mind it when Amelia accidentally wrings her washcloth out right over her face.

Things are feeling, dare I say, just a little normal around here. With each day, Evie changes and grows (she's over 11 lbs now) and peels. :) I looked back at this blog when Amelia was about to turn 2 months, right before her visit to the dermatologist at Vanderbilt Children's Hospital. What I describe Amelia's skin to be doing at that time is exactly what Evie's skin is doing now. Amazing. And just look at Amelia today. We are on the right track and it feels good. Do I still worry? Yes. Am I still just flabbergasted and still a wee bit angry that this happened again? Yes. Do I still wonder WHY? Yup. But each day that passes brings a little more peace, more joy and more and more love for both of these beautiful girls. I didn't know my heart could hold so much.
