Daddy already gave you a pretty good summary of the day so don't worry I won't repeat it all but I do have to give my input on a few things. As daddy said we FINALLY had the opportunity to meet your surgeon today. Mommy was lucky enough to meet his nurse yesterday and you'll never guess what her name is.....Megan. She is very nice and was extremely interested in helping you. She thinks the world of your surgeon. So much so that she moved across the country to continue working with him when he left his last job to take over chief of cardiac surgery here in Cincinnati. Guess where Dr. Morales and Megan moved from..... Houston. That's right just a few months ago they lived in the same city as Mommy and Daddy did but now we're all here. Some would say this is a coincidence. Mommy says it's another sign that God is sending extra special angels to take care of you buddy.
Dr. Morales spent a long time with mommy and daddy explaining his surgery plan and all the special little quirks of your heart. Although he won't know exactly what he's going to do until he get's in there and sees your extra special heart he has a pretty amazing plan. It was pretty interesting to hear him talk about how much thought he has put into you and how invested he is in fixing you up. Although mommy and daddy know it will be a long journey for you we feel much better after meeting Dr. Morales. His talent along with your strength and most importantly God's healing power gives us hope.
This afternoon Mommy left the hospital for a little while for a field trip. Mommy's big exciting field trip was to Target to get some clothes that fit (since most of mommy's non-maternity clothes are packed somewhere and the maternity ones are way too big without you in my belly). It was nice to get outside and get some fresh air. Mommy also enjoyed driving herself to the store. This may sound silly but mommy's only driven about 3 times since the end of August when you started to get restless in my belly.
Mommy also got to visit with her good friend Amy tonight which was great. It's kind of like a breath of fresh air to spend some time reconnecting with people you love. Mommy has missed her friends a lot and can't wait for you to meet all of them and their kiddos. You have a whole gang of little friends already which is pretty cool. I can't wait for the day when you can play with them all.
You are finally sleeping after a bit of a fight. You sure are a stubborn little man already but as long as you use that fight to get better mommy and daddy won't complain. No one can believe how long you stayed up playing this afternoon and evening. We're hoping this means you're going to sleep great tonight. Both Ben and Dr. Nelson are on call tonight but they've already stopped by so there's no reason for you to cause a scene just to see them. Here's a cute picture of you while you were playing with Gigi and Grandma tonight and the second of you deep in thought while you were napping.
