Happy Smiles

Mia went for a CT scan yesterday (will post the scan when the batteries charge). It was really scary for mum and dad, since they had to sedate her. She fought sleep (no surprise there) and struggled, but mum managed to hold it together while dad looked as green as seaweed.

The technicians told us that it looks like it's just an immature trachea that collapses when she breathes, causing that little whistle noise. It fixes it self as the baby grows. However, we still have to take the scan to the pediatrician for confirmation of diagnosis.

They were going to do a detailed high-res scan, but I told them that granny had a severe reaction to the scan solution that they make you drink, so they opted not to give it to baby just in case. Luckily they were able to see what they needed with the regular scan.

And luckily for MEEEE, daddy saved like $300 on the scan since it was a regular one, and he bought me a beautiful ring! He had planned to get it for Valentine's Day, but the stores were closed when we got to the city. Anyway, it's white gold with .25C small diamonds around it and I'm wearing it on the finger adjacent to the ring finger on my left hand. It's symbolic that once engaged, the ring jumps to the next finger. We looked at engagement rings too, since we were there, and there was a pretty one that was a good deal, but the diamond was princess cut (square) and we both agree that a solitaire would be cuter.

So after all the stress and worry it ended up being a good day, and hopefully the Dr. will confirm Mia's good health :-)
