Happy Christmas Eve Eve!
Hello everyone!
Emma's foot v. Chad's hand...
Hi there!
Emma likes to look around at the world...
What's up there?
Getting ready for surgery...
Well, first off, Emma's surgery went very well. It was done in about 25 minutes... The surgeon said he had no problems whatsoever with the surgery.
During (and after) the surgery, Emma did great. She kept her ventilator at the same settings, and her blood pressure didn't drop at all. Both of these things are subjects of concern when any surgery is done on a baby, and she passed with flying colors.
After the surgery she was doing well. As I mentioned before, studies have shown that if a baby is given just enough anesthesia, they will do worse off than if they get lots of it. So, Emma really didn't move at all yesterday. I've been told she might starting moving this morning. But, her lungs are doing well (the doctors keep decreasing her settings) and she looks so peaceful when she is sleeping so soundly.
And, she's out for the count...

Emma and her Frosty blanket...
Good night everyone!
On a side note, Liz and I are enjoying the beginning of our winter vacations. While mine is a bit longer than Liz's, we both need some time to relax and take this all in...
As for now, Liz's parents and brother (and his wife and son) are up for a day or two. I think we are going to celebrate Christmas as just Liz, Emma and I. We'll be celebrating with my folks soon, but the date has not yet been set (We've been pretty busy lately... sorry mom, dad and brent!)

I love these pictures. So glad the surgery went well. Emma is looking so great. I was wondering if you could post Emma's weekly birthdays for those of us who can't keep track of how old she is. Thanks! :)
