Things are looking up :)

Well, we thought we should update everybody on how Grace has been doing. We have been continuing to monitor her blood levels over the last couple of weeks. So far her numbers have been consistently dropping. This week is the first week her numbers have gone UP! We couldn't be happier. We have been talking weekly with our Doctor here in town as well as at Primary Children's. Both Doctors are thrilled to see this turn without any interventions. We are all hoping she will continue to increase her numbers on her own (which we think she will). She continues to grow and is right on track with her development. She is happy and healthy and now that she is turning this corner we have no reason not to think that things are only going to get better. I'm sure Grace will be happy to have people stop poking her with needles as well.

We are loving being parents. We have officially crossed over to the other side... you know when parents start to say "I can't remember what life was like before we had kids" and you realize they don't talk about anything but their baby (I will just apologize ahead of time for that-we can't help it:). It's a crazy place to be but we are loving it. Grace is such a beautiful little girl. She brings so much joy to our little family. Now, if you will allow me I have to brag just a little... She is so strong. Today during her tummy time she pushed herself up and moved her head to the other side! She is holding her head up more all the time and is getting better at steadying it. She is starting to focus on things and she will follow things with her head and eyes if you move it. She is really starting to get the smiling thing down too. She will focus on your face and smile back when you talk to her. It is so amazing to watch her grow. Everything is new and exciting. Everyday she is learning and growing. We are thrilled just to be apart of it.
