These are just a few of the many cute ones but i need more time to narrow it down to my favorites!

Libbis condition

When I was about 23-24 weeks pregnant we were told our baby had some heart problems. After many days of waiting and a few doctor appointments later she was diagnosed with Ebsteins anomoly, HRHS and a vsd (a hole). Ebsteins is a very fatal defect but because of the hole in her heart her little heart is working well! She has been a miracle baby thus far, the doctors even say so! She was only in Primarys for 5 days after birth, we were told 2-3 weeks at least. She underwent her first surgery, the Glen, on September 25, 2009 and did amazing. She was in the PICU for 1 day and was sent home after just 4 days! Her 2 week post op appt showed MUCH improvement to her heart function. The surgery was a success! She has an appointment on Dec 10, 2011 to see how she is doing. It is likely she will have her next surgery, the Fontan, in the Spring. She will be 3 in March. We can't worry about the future, she has proved that miracles do happen :)

The perfect poem

"It's a beautiful day up in heaven. Jesus is rounding up his tiniest angels to go live on earth and be born. One of the sweetest angels says to Jesus "I don't want to leave. I like it here and I will miss you." He reassures the scared little angel that everything will be okay, and that he is just going for a visit. He is still not swayed. So Jesus kneels down, and says, "How about if you leave half of your heart here with me and take the other half with you, will that be okay?" The angel smiles and says, "I guess that will work." But the little angel is still scared. He asks,"Will I be okay with only half of my heart?" Jesus replies,"Of course you will, I have other angels there that will help out, and you will be fine." Then Jesus gives the angel more details about his plan. He says, "When you are born, your mommy and daddy will be scared, so you have to be strong, and when you feel weak just remember that I have the other half of your heart. Enjoy your time with your family; play and laugh everyday. And when it's time to come back to heaven, I will make your heart whole again. Always remember that you are not broken, just torn between two loves." Author Unknown
