10 months!

Lyla is 10 months old today!  She has been so happy today which is making it a joy to celebrate with her today :-)  We started the day by going to her follow up weight check with the doctor.  Thankfully, she gained 10 oz since her last check up!  Even though this only puts her in the 3rd percentile for weight, her doctor is completely happy with how she looks and the fact that she's gained weight.  We see the cardiologist on Wednesday, so it will be interesting to get their input as well.

We continue to fall in love with Lyla more and more every day!  She is such a blessing in our life and we can't stop praising God for the wonderful gift that she is to us :-)  This little girl doesn't like to stay still!  She is far more interested in everything else in the house than her own toys.  She likes to go to the steps and play peek-a-boo around the banister with us.  Her new favorite place is the kitchen...I guess simply because we don't allow her in there often :-)

Baby Rauch #2 is also doing well :-)  I got to hear the little heartbeat at my OB appointment!  It's the best noise in the whole world!  We go to the high risk doctor on April 29 for a level 2 ultrasound and anatomy scan.  We are excited to see if Lyla will have a little brother or sister :-)  From there, they will refer us to the cardiologist for a fetal echo.  We're still praying believing that this baby is completely healthy and no other problems are present!

I'll update again after our cardiologist visit on Wednesday.  We should be discussing the possibility of another MRI this summer for Lyla to again monitor how her narrowed pulmonary arteries are holding up.  Pray for wisdom for the doctors that they take the right actions at the right time.  Pray for peace as we wait for these last procedures to be scheduled.  And please pray for baby #2 as we wait anxiously to see if everything is ok :-)
