On April 2nd (two days before Aine was born) we had pictures taken by Steve Rouch Photography. The pictures (as usual) turned out beautiful!

God's Cake
So, I took this from a friends post on Facebook, but felt that it was a good thing to put up for our family. & I dont' think she'll mind.
(Thanks Holly Sue!)
Sometimes we wonder, 'What did I do to deserve this?' or 'Why did God have to do this to me?' Here is a wonderful explanation! A daughter is telling her Mother how everything is going wrong, she's failing algebra, her boyfriend broke up with her and her b...est friend is moving away. Meanwhile, her Mother is baking a cake and asks her daughter if she would like a snack, and the daughter says, 'Absolutely Mom, I love your cake.' 'Here, have some cooking oil,' her Mother offers. 'Yuck' says her daughter. 'How about a couple raw eggs?' 'Gross, Mom!' 'Would you like some flour then? Or maybe baking soda?' 'Mom, those are all yucky!' To which the mother replies: 'Yes , all those things seem bad all by themselves. But when they are put together in the right way, they make a wonderfully delicious cake! ' God works the same way. Many times we wonder why He would let us go through such bad and difficult times. But God knows that when He puts these things all in His order, they always work for good! We just have to trust Him and, eventually, they will all make something wonderful! God is crazy about you. He sends you flowers every spring and a sunrise every morning. Whenever you want to talk, He'll listen. He can live anywhere in the universe, and He chose your heart.

Update
Well,
7 weeks old & due for yet another heart surgery.
I talked to the cardiologist today and he said they feel Aine will need to have her pulmonaries rebuilt. They are going to wait until she is 3 kg before they do any further testing on her (she was 2.8 kg this morning). I asked the Dr and he feels she will be at that weight in 7-10 days. At which time they will do additional testing to see how everything is running and looking and will at that time decide what the next plan of attack is. (Surgery wise)
We are hoping it will be an easy procedure and Aine will recover quickly.
Updates will continue as we get them.
God Bless & thanks for the continued prayers.

7 Weeks Old
Aine is 7 Weeks old today!
Wow - does time fly!
If only we knew what is causing her to decrease her oxygen staturation we would be happy.
The doctors have determined that it is not due to her heart problem (they are happy about that), but now they need to figure out what lung function is causing it.
Her G-tube placement surgery was a success, but I have to wait for the surgery team to look at her studies to find out if the nissen is too tight & if it is, what they will be doing about it.
Hopefully soon we will be able to discuss a timeframe of being able to bring our baby girl home.
I will continue to update the blog as we find out information (or when there is more cool stuff our little man does).
