Update

Today was Laney's one month appointment. The doctor said she is doing well. She now weighs 8lbs 12oz and is 20 in in height. She said the height seemed to be less than it should be but thinks that the hospital "cheated" and stretched her when they measured her at birth. So we are keeping an eye on that. Her belly button hernia (a seriously huge outtie belly button!) is, thankfully, a purely cosmetic thing. Dr. Mayberry said that it doesn't hurt and is not causing any problems with her body. This is good news. The bad news is that its a pretty large one and we just have to wait and see if it goes away. If not, we can have surgery to fix it when she is 3 or 4yrs old. We were thinking that we may not fix it until she is engaged. That way, she can't be trapesing about in those belly showing shirts and bikinis. ha ha! Seriously, just join us in prayer that it resloves on its own. Thanks for all your prayers, support, and gifts. We are so excited about our new addition!

  1. She's growing well, I'm glad to hear that she's gaining weight! She's such a beautiful little girl! We're definitely praying with you about her belly button. Surgery at any time would not be fun. Love you guys soooo much!

  2. I am glad that she is doing well! We will be praying for her belly button, I am glad that it wasn't anything too serious. BTW, where did the past month go??? It doesn't seem like it should be that time already!

  3. I love all the new pics. I just wanted to comment on the double standard. I mean you're saying she can't wear those short shirts but in reality, if she had those shirts, you would want to borrow them...love you all!

  4. Annalee has an outie too! We're hoping for the same thing; that she'll be too self-conscious to wear a bikini.
