The Dr's have informed us that the tentative surgery date is scheduled for Thursday. They did give us the disclaimer that it won't be a for sure thing until she is in the O.R. room. They give that disclaimer as there is always a chance that a baby will become a higher priority. So for now, we are hoping her date doesn't get bumped so we can take Lily home sooner. For now she is stable and happy, either that or is too tired to be too fussy. For example today when we bathed her, she hardly cried and was just lookin' around and even somewhat smiling - as much as new borns smile. Here is a picture of her smiling at Daddy...at least it looks like a smile. She was really just adjusting and puckering her mouth, but regardless, it makes me laugh and smile.
Here is a picture of what she was doing while we were giving her a bath today, below:
Daddy is already teaching her funny tricks:
Of course she loves her beautiful mother as well, Leah is doing well and is becoming a natural mother:

Those pictures are soooo adorable. She has beautiful eyes!
Justin Lily is beautiful! Congratulations on having such a wonderful little girl!
I understand your apprehension about Lily's surgery - Darius had surgery when he was quite small as well. But as parents all we can do is trust the doctors, and trust the Lord to guide the doctors. We'll be praying for Lily, and thinking of all of you tomorrow.
On a side note: Lily and I are birthday buddies!
What a beautiful girl! Congratulations, and we will keep little Lily in our prayers!
I found your blog and had to post. I am also a "heart mom", my son Jacob was also born with TGA. He is 3 1/2 and doing really well. He was able to have the switch operation.
We have a blog of Jacob's story at www.jacobsheart.blogspot.com
Good luck with surgery. Praying for your family and the doctors!
Hugs & Prayers,
Christina
