8 months old

Alyssa is growing way too fast these days. She is now more active, grabs, pulls, laughs, sits up, rolls over and trying to crawl. She loves watching Evan play and especially when he plays basketball. We visited Alyssa's cardiologist on Thursday for another follow up visit. He did an ultra sound on her heart in the office. She was so patient and good for the 20 minute ultrasound, I was very surprised. They had a nice setup in the room with baby Einstein playing on a tv and a dark quiet room. After it was over the doctor explained Alyssa's hole in her heart(VSD) has now closed even more. He explained the opening is so small it can't  be measured unless a "die test" is done, which he said is not necessary. He said she is showing all the signs her heart is healthy and normal. We return for another follow up visit when Alyssa is 2 years old. I'm so happy to hear this news and I give God all the Glory!

I'm sure Nick and Evan will have a home grown mini cheerleader for basketball seasons to come. We visit Alyssa's cardiologist next month for another follow up visit. Please pray everything is great and her heart is growing.

This blog post is long overdue but that's mainly a good thing. Like the saying " no news is good news, it surly applies in this case"
Alyssa has been doing great at home. We all have adjusted very well to having her home. We're all just so happy shes home and healthy. Alyssa will visit her cardiologist again next month for another follow-up.
We now have a teenager, toddler and baby in the house. Sounds crazy but it's always interesting!!!

3 months old / Developmentally 4 weeks old

Alyssa has reached the 4 week old developmental mark. I have to say she is much smarter than any 4 week old baby. She is already holding her headed up, trying to talk and smiling. She is very alert and stays awake alot. I have been told and also read that preemie babies are much smarter than an average baby since they spend more time out in the real world. She apparently learned alot in the NICU because she's so smart! She is pretty much sleeping through the night, only getting up for 1 bottle then going back to sleep. We are loving having her home and she continues to amaze us daily.
