well! i cant believe i have a minute to update! :) this might be a quick one! any who...i was thinkin that we were SO EXCITED to bring her home i forgot to let you all know what we actually found out with our little girl when she was born. from week 20 till the day she was born there was never a FOR SURE thing about her problems. we were just told that different things COULD be wrong but we wouldn't know till she was here and they could do tests/echos/x-rays on her. so here is what we were told.....besides the many heart defects that she has, she also has two right lungs...which they say is just fine to have! all of her little organs in her belly are flipped. so her stomach and everything else is on the opposite side of where it is suppose to be. but by the proof of my little girl....that seems to be just fine as well! everything is hooked up right and she is eating and pooping like a CHAMP! :) she is gaining weight pretty fast actually! which is what we want! she needs those pounds! :) we were also told that she does not have a spleen. :( the doctors said that this is ok because people are born without it as well as get it taken out! the only worry with no spleen is that she has no way of fighting off infection. but she is, and will be, on an antibiotic for probably the rest of her life just to help fight any bacteria. so if any of you wonder why we are so distant or won't let you come see her....don't be offended! we are just being EXTRA careful that she stays as healthy as she can be! :) she is doing just GREAT here at home and is LOVING the fact that she is off all of the monitors and is no longer bein poked! :) i will try to keep you all updated! here are a couple pics of my cute baby girl! :)
all bundled up after the tub!

this is what you get when you take cute wanna-be professional pics! ha ha ha! look at that face!!!
