Hello everybody. We have had some Dr's visits this week and wanted to give some updates. First we had to see a pediatric opthamologist because her left tear duct isn't opening. She frequently tears and has drainage. She will unfortunately have to go to the OR late Nov or early Dec to have it opened. Very quick procedure. Please pray for an uneventful surgery.
Then we headed to the Dr. for a 9month well baby check today and yes, we are well. Ali weighs 15# 1 oz. and has grown 2 inches. She got a hemoglobin check which was normal and had her 1st of two flu shots. She did great. She is meeting her milestones and can start on some very soft table foods if she shows interest. How exciting.
It is amazing how 9 months has gone so fast. I put away a lot of our receiving blankets today because we no longer use them and we could use the drawer space for clothes. It made me sooo sad to think, she isn't hardly a baby anymore. I could have never imagined that it would be this wonderful and I could love something so much. My heart is completely hers.

Way to go, Alison! Well, it takes being a mom to know how much one can love their daughter. :)
Her surgery will go very well. Have faith and confidence in the physicians, anesthesiologists, etc.
See you all Saturday!!
Love you,
Mimi and Papaw
Ali is such a trooper...she'll do great. But, mom and dad might have a tougher time. I'll be thinkin' of you guys.
It is so hard to know how awesome being a mom is until it happens to you. One of my favorite quotes goes something like this...
To be a mom is to decide to forever have your heart walking outside of your body.
That is so true!!
