Lindsay and Carlee got to celebrate their birthdays together!
Well, I think that face says it all. She had had it with the whole cake experience. Time for a nap!
Look people!!!!! I'm wearing purple!!!!! And it actually looks good on me now!
So silly!
She just loved playing in her cake. Of course I had tears in my eyes watching her dig in to it!
I had so much fun playing in my cake! I even tried some of it! Yummy!
AHHHHHH, a family photo. ;-)
Cake #2
Cakes #3 and 4 were for the staff to celebrate the big event. Thank you Sharon and Ashley for doing such a great job for us once again! We love you!
The big news of the the day is that she took a bottle!! We are starting very slow with 80 cc's every two hours to see how she does, but so far so good! Biopsy is scheduled for Tuesday, 3rd case so an estimated time of 1:30pm. But, we know how hospital time works.........JR and I are now home for a couple of nights with the boys and preparing the house for the princess's arrival maybe next weekend or shortly after. Can you believe it?? I get butterflies in my stomach just typing it!

You don't know me, I found you through Gracie Gledhill's blog. I just wanted to tell you how beautiful your daughter is. I just want to squish her cheeks. I am so happy that your family got to celebrate her 1st birthday in this fashion. Happy Birthday!!
Wow...she had more cakes than I've ever seen for a birthday but you know what...she deserved them more than anyone I've ever seen too!!!!!
Happy Happy Birthday Lindsay!!!
It's hard to look at her and believe that she just had a heart transplant a week ago...she looks great!
Allie had that same Birthday Girl dress for her birthday a week ago....we love it...adorable!
Happy Birthday Lindsay! I have been following your blog for awhile now. What an amazing little girl you have. She just makes me smile. She is a fighter! She looks great. You would never guess that she just got a new heart a week ago.
Thanks for posting updates for all of us "stalker" bloggers.

What an amazing little girl! I have been following your blog from almost the beginning. Lindsay is so full of life and just the most adorable thing I've ever seen (she is the only baby I can put into the same "cute category" as my own baby!) I stayed up all night waiting for updates when she got her new heart and get tears with almost every post you write. It's amazing how you can feel so connected to someone through words on a computer. I am so happy for your family, please give her a little love from Oregon!
Truely,
Lindsey
Happy Happy birthday. What a way to celebrate.
It is amazing the progress that she has made in 1 week. She looks amazing!!! I love following your blog and watching your little girl grow. Congratulations on one year with your little princess!
Darling pictures of the perfect party. Just so excited thinking of all you have to plan and look forward to. She just looks like any other one year old. Inconceivable that she just had heart surgery. One amazing princess you got there!
Happy Birthday Lindsay!! Your daughter is just the cutest and HAPPIEST looking little girl I have seen in a long time!!
Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers...

Anyone who says prayers aren't answered should look at Lindsay! To think of all the antibody issues she had..a perfect heart and then super recovery...Everyone praying for my Owen is also praying for Lindsay...I called my friends and facebooked everywhere. I just know there will be a perfect heart for my Owen too...he is also a little fighter! Love you...stock up on food, take her home...turn off the phones, and let her PLAYPLAYPLAY
with those cute big brothers.

She looks so good! You would never guess she had major surgery! I am so happy for you! I love the silly face picture!
I'm sorry I do not post much, but I've followed your journey for a year as Lindsey was born while Eden was in the hospital. I am AMAZED that she had her transplant just one week ago. She looks amazing and I am so happy for all of you. It has been a long, difficult journey and I pray that she will enjoy many healthy years now. What a party and what a great birthday gift for all of you. How exciting to have her coming home soon, I get butterflies thinking of it for you!
Love, Keisa
Wow! I'm just amazed by your sweet girl. I've been telling lots of people how wonderful Lindsay is doing! Its just awesome!. Thank you, God! :) We're still keeping her and y'all in our prayers.
Wow, she looks so good in those pictures. It is hard to imagine that it is all coming to a close now and that you will be able to take her home soon. We are so happy that things are going good for her now!

OMG! She looks amazing! I am so happy to see her looking SO pretty in pink! The cakes (all of them) look absolutely wonderful!

Precious, precious! I can't believe she is eating cake 1 week after having a heart transplant! So many reasons to celebrate! She looks so good... and reading your words about going home as early as next week literally gave me goosebumps (or "hills on my skin" as Noah calls them!)! Love, Danielle
OMGosh I cant get over how quickly things change with a new heart. She just got a heart and she is getting to come home already, and eating cake and drinking bottles and laughing and playing, AMAZING! I am so in shock at how fast the healing goes when you get the perfect heart!
I am so happy for you all!
