Updated pictures by request!

I tend to show pictures of the reveal and then... Life goes on... And I COMPLETELY forget to add new pictures to the blog to show how the ear changes as the swelling goes down. So I will try to keep this updated with new pictures. It is also nice being able to look back myself and show Carolyn the progress. Here are a couple taken tonight, and you can definitely see how it is taking shape! It was difficult getting her to stand still for a close up, so excuse the fuzziness!!

Officially two ears!!!

We removed the bandages this morning!! Words cannot express my amazement and gratitude!!

Sooooo....

Sorry I fell through with the "tons of pics" I promised! We got to Dr. Jones office this morning and when they started to remove the stitches/packing behind it we had a bit of an emotional breakdown. I did get one picture though, but do remember there is a lot of swelling and it is a lot further from her head than it will be after healing. She is rebandaged and we get to remove those and take a REAL bath Friday night!! I am so excited! And i promise to post lots of pics after that!! Then Monday we will go back to Atlanta for another follow-up!

Aquarium pictures

Dinner and dessert!

We had such a fun night! We went to a great place for dinner, Steamhouse lounge, because Carolyn requested seafood. We sat outside and they had a cute little fountain the kids played in. After that we went to Cafe Intermezzo for dessert and had NUTELLA cheesecake! It was heavenly!! I had it in January when we came to Atlanta for a girls trip and have been dreaming about it since!! We also had the white chocolate raspberry cheesecake, which was divine as well!

On a side note.... Check out how Carolyn wakes up every morning! Little Amy Winehouse with that hairdo. And then back to Carolyn Merrill after a ton of Bumble and Bumble prep spray and tucking back into the bandage!!

Sorry the pics post out of order. If anyone knows how to change the order when using the blogger app on the iphone let me know! I am an amateur at this!

Post op weekend in ATL!

Carolyn is doing GREAT! The itching is driving her crazy and Benadryl doesn't seem to help, but no pain! We are back in Atlanta and this time are shakin' things up! Cowdery came along and Aunt Lauren happened to be here for the AU game, so she came over to meet us for the night! We are looking forward to a good dinner out tonight and lots of fun tomorrow at the aquarium and Ikea!
