Wow......

Wow, where to begin....
Well, its been almost two months since my last post. Where has the time gone?
There is some much to tell you guys about, I don't know where to begin.
Lets start with Elahs echocardiagram appointment. I can't remember if I told you guys about this, so I'll just start from the beginning.
We took Elah to the doctor one afternoon cause she was coming down with a cold, and we wanted to see if there was anything we could do to help clear the congestion in her nose.
When the doctor listened to her heart beat, she heard a slight heart murmur. She told us it sounded innocent to her but would rather have it checked out just to make sure, so we scheduled and echo cardiogram for her.
We decided it was best if we not tell our parents, (especially my parents, sorry Momma) about it until we found out for sure what was going on. We didn't want them to worry.
She had the appointment,  and Elah did really well. and they told us they would call when the results came in.
Well we waited, and waited, and waited some more. We figured everything came back good since they never called us.
The on Sarahs birthday they called us and said they found something on the test. I hope I say this right but they said she had an atrial septum defect, which is a hole between the two valves of her heart.
She still said that it looked innocent, and that she was just gonna have the cardiologist talk to us just to reassure us.
We had been planning a vacation the first week in April and we were gonna leave on the 31st of March. Well they called us and the only time they could see us was the 31st. So we went back over there before we left for vacation and they did a few more test on her and then we talked to the cardiologist. He told us everything looked good, and that he thinks it will just close on its own. Whew, what a sigh of relief. We have to take her back when she turns two just to check up on it.
Now the vacation. We went to Pigeon Forge Tennessee for a week with some close friends of ours, the Flints. We rented a cabin up in the mountains, and it was amazing.
The only bad thing about it was a spiral staircase that led to the game room, and Nathan and Janelles room.
We went to Chattanooga, Gatlinburg, The Aquarium Of The Smokies, The Titanic Museum, and a bunch of other things. Now we are back home and things are starting to get back to normal. We're trying to get Elah back into her routine which is going ok. lol.
Elah is starting to laugh now, and its the most adorable thing ever. Shes also starting to teethe so that kinda sucks.
Shes growing up so fast, its hard to take it all in. She is almost four months old now, can you believe that? It doesn't seem like that long ago I started this blog, and that was when I found out Sarah was Pregnant.
