1st Pre-Mothers Day!

On Saturday a group of us went downtown to see "the flood".  It was pretty amazing!  Water covered everything! We did this for an early mothers day and for Katie's birthday!  She's 30 and still looks 22!!  I am so lucky to have her as a sister-in-law!  After our day downtown our BFF's Chris and Jen tied the knot!  Everything was beautiful!!   

My first Mothers Day started off wonderful!  My husband got me a card and a nail gift certificate!!  Even though he tried to argue with me the day before saying it did not count this year.  Guess he is a keeper!  Mom and I spent the day out shopping!  Couldn't have asked for a better day!

We have a pretty busy week!  Thursday we go to the Dr. for a check up!  This will be 30 weeks!!  Crazy!! I just can't believe it has flown by this fast!  Friday we go for our 2nd 3D/4D ultra sound!  Lets hope Piper acts good this time!  We would like some good pictures of our pretty girl!  Hopefully this time we will be able to see her face and see who she looks like!

Tomorrow is a huge step for our entire family!  Bib will be having surgery tomorrow!  She has been diagnosed with NPH (Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus)   NPH is an accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) causing the ventricles of the brain to enlarge, in turn, stretching the nerve tissue of the brain causing a triad of symptoms. (human terms- Fluid on the Brain)  The best way to fix this is by placing a shunt in her head!  So that is what we will be doing tomorrow!  We would appreciate any and all prayers!  We love our Bib and want her to live the best life possible!  Hopefully this will make that possible!
I will post tomorrow when she goes into surgery and when she gets out!
Thanks for all the prayers!
