Baby girl’s belly button surgery was successful!  Surgeon actually said it couldn’t have gone any better! 🥰  Now she’s staying in surgery so the neurosurgeon can close up the Spina bifida opening in her back. 
Kevin is keeping me updated from the hospital.  I’m just waiting around and attempting to rest.  Looks like I can get out of here soon.  Can’t wait to hang out as a family of 3!

Today is a big day for procedures.  Annelise came out of her Spina Bifida surgery, and the neurosurgeon said it went well. 🥰 They are expecting that she’ll need another surgery to place a shunt to drain cerebrospinal fluid at some point in the near future... to which I think it would be really cool if she didn’t end up needing one!  🙏😎
The cardiothoracic surgeon came to see us about possibly doing her heart surgery as soon as next week! 
I finally found my feelings when faced with finally seeing my baby face to face!😍😭😍😭😍😭. She has been sedated for the afternoon after the surgeries, and has some diligent nurses working on her to set her up with all the wires and lines that she needs to get medicine with.  There has been some trouble finding veins that will work for what they need, since she’s so small!  I’m praying that they are almost done poking her, but I can see them attempting to be as gentle as possible, and I know it’s in her best interest.
It has been a long day!  I’m pretty exhausted and hope to just rest in her room this afternoon after they let us back in from her latest procedure.  Feels so good just to look at her.  Also really weird... this is the person who was punching me from inside my body yesterday 😍 Love her so much!
