Norman Update

So we have had lots of random happenings since the last post!!

#1 - We are going to have another sweet Baby Girl!!  Her name will be Rebecca Anne and Sarah Anne is so excited to be the big sister to a little sister!!

#2 - Sarah Anne had another kidney ultra sound and her blockage was worse.  She had to have a Lasix Renogram which was really hard on all of us.  Due to Baby Becca, I wasn't able to be with her during the test, but thankfully Matt and my Mom were able to join her.  Sarah Anne did great, despite having to hold still and have a catheter and iv.  Through the process, God has shown us so much!!  We are so blessed with wonderful friends who have prayed for us and been there through the whole thing.  Our sweet girl's kidneys are both functioning perfectly and there is no obstruction.  We follow up again in 6 months.

#3 - After Sarah Anne's big test we went to Columbus to see Grandma, Granddaddy, Aunt Julia, Aunt Alice, and Aunt Amy!!  We had a wonderful trip and here are some of the pictures!!
