Xandri's Echo

So Xandri's doctor noticed a faint heart murmur at her last checkup. It's routine to get it checked out on an echo, so we got an appointment. Xandri was so good and so cute. It was raining when we got there, so when I got out of the car, I bundled her in her blanket and threw it over her head so she wouldn't get rained on. She didn't move from her position the whole time we were waiting. She just sat so patiently and quietly and snuggled on my lap. That's one thing I LOVE about this little girl... she is SUCH a snuggler!

Anyway, we went back to have the echo done and they stuck all those sticker heart monitor things on her chest and her back. She very solemnly sat very still, watching the whole process and being very calm the entire time. I was so proud of her. It probably took at least 20 minutes or so, and she was perfect throughout.

Finally, they finished up and started pulling the stickers off. That's when she started to cry--- not because it hurt, but because she liked the stickers and wanted to wear them! So they sent some home...

Oh, and the echo was completely normal- just an innocent heart murmur.

Xandri looks so cute in that top picture, we are so glad that the heart murmur is not serious.

They better give my Angel some stickers after being that good.
