I swear this is the last post for today!

When we had the break from our Transplant Clinic we took a walk outside the hospital and there is this really cute little area that has a fountain and a little pretend bridge and some benches so we decided to take some pictures....

update

I know I know...there are a ton of posts I'm doing today...bare with me. On our trip to Salt Lake our primary reason for going was to go to a Pre-Transplant Clinic for Brynnah. It's the last thing you officially have to do to be placed on the Kidney Transplant Donor List. We definately got an information overload! We first met with the Nephrologist over the Kidney Transplant services and he talked about recieving a kidney and the process to get there. The surgery itself and the meds, and complications associated with getting a new kidney. Then we met with the nutritionist on the team and talked about what will happen between meds, actually having an appetite and what it will be like after transplantation. That in itself was a lot of info. Then we got a break for an hour and then proceeded to meet.....EVERYONE else on the Transplant team: Nutritionist, Doctors, Surgeons, Financial and Social Services, Service Coordinators and I'm sure I forgot someone in there. We spent like 5 hrs meeting and talking about concerns with everyone. Wow...we have a lot on our plate right now...I didn't realize how overwhelming it could be. This is what we've been looking forward to since Brynnah's birth...but now that we're here it's really scarry! On a good note and least we got it done with and we know all of you are thinking of us. Thank you so much to those of you who have been praying for us it definately is a huge blessing to have so much support from you all. We love you!

Our trip to SLC

We went to SLC this month and since we usually don't have any spare time when we go we usually don't get to do anything fun. This time we decided to go to Temple Square. We had a lot of fun going through the visitors center and the Joseph Smith Bldg. Here's the pics we took out in front of the temple.

It was really great going to the visitors center and seeing the Christus it's really uplifting.

New Signs

Our little Ray of SUNSHINE....
this is my very favorite shirt of Brynnah's I was coveting this shirt when I first saw it in Fred Meyer....then I found it of course at the DI. I just love putting her in it especially when it's yucky outside.... Brynnah was so thrilled in this picture if you couldn't tell....but this is the sign for puppy. We've been really working hard on her communication and she loves animals...so of course her new signs mostly have to do with animals...

This one is the sign for Birdie

Sorry I don't know why it's on there twice

This one is kitty...it's supposed to be like the kitty's whiskers but she totally grabs her cheeks off!

This one is the sign for water and it is totally her FAVORITE! she says it ALL the time...at first we thought it was only when she's thirsty but then we figured out she says it just to say it sometimes!

Walking and carrying her own stuff

We've been trying to figure out a way for Brynnah to start being more independant and walking more on her own. I had an epiphany a couple weeks ago and we set out for a baby stroller (the ones for dolls) and lo and behold what should we find at the DI for 2 bucks...this wonderful stroller and Brynnah absolutely loves it! We got it for her just before our trip to SLC and she was running around with it the whole time! She is such a big girl and I can't believe how much independance it's given her!!! Go Brynnah!

Brynnah's Princess Party!

Princess Pinata

Everyone had sooooo much fun with the pinata....Brynnah actually got to participate this year!

Here's Brynnah's LOVELY cake (ok....so not lovely....I made it myself and didn't work out the way I wanted it to....but it still tasted great!)

I'm sorry for not being better at keeping this up...it feels like our life has been CRAZY lately! Well, here are the pics from Brynnah's Birthday Party the theme was "PRINCESS" (isn't that suprising?) Anhow, we had a lot of fun and I want to thank everyone for making it such a special day for Brynnah!
