Ariana's 4 hour stimulation testing results are in! And the results are flabbergasting! She's normal. Completely, perfectly, wonderfully made normal. She's got the right amount of chromosomes, no genetic disorders, her thyroid is up and running, her cortisol stress reactors react great, her growth hormones are at the low end of normal, but they are normal. Her pituitary gland is working perfectly, and there is no evidence of a brain tumor.
Which is amazing news, of course. She's run a huge amount of testing, and the answer is: THIS IS THE SIZE GOD WANTS HER. For the moment anyways. Thank the Lord we got good results, and even though they aren't easiest to live with (Trevor and I prefer action. We'd like to be able to DO something to get her to grow!), but for now we wait on God. Hopefully at some point He'll have her grow. She can't be 17 lbs and 28 inches forever, can she?
Here's a picture of my tiny Peanut and the two most handsome boys in the world. Don't mind Elijah, he never wants to have his picture taken.
And this is a picture of Ariana trying to convince Eli to be her baby. She's wrapped him in a blanket and is trying to rock him to sleep. :-) Elijah's such a good big brother. But no, he didn't fall asleep. I wasn't that lucky. ha!
Enjoy your Friday, everyone! We plan to!
this is wonderful news! Small girls are hot ; ) She may be tiny but she is SO gorgeous! Praise God!
