Yesterday was Ellie's first T-ball game. She was so excited, and it was one of the most entertaining sporting events I've ever been to. The kids were hysterical. The ball would be hit and the players from both teams would run out to get it. Ellie, however, was more concerned with her hat than anything else as she guarded 3rd base. I was impressed that she could hit the ball and run, so at least she has that part of the game down. We did almost lose one player when he left 2nd base and took off into the outfield and then into another tball game. If you are having a down day, I highly recommend a little league tball game, specifically the 3-4 year old age group! (I condensed the pictures for this post, I took TONS of those cute little kids!)
A quick baby #3 update: Yesterday, we met with the maternal fetal medicine specialist and my regular OB about the baby's ectopic bowel, and from what they can tell so far everything looks normal. The baby didn't have the markers for down's syndrome and I passed all my genetic blood work tests that rule out several of the chromosomal disorders. I have to have a repeat level 2 ultrasound to get a better view of one area of the heart and I had to have a cystic fibrosis blood test just to rule that out. (Worth and I have no history of CF in our family that we know of, but they want to check me just to make sure) The specialist seemed to think all was good, and that either the baby possibly swallowed blood early on or the "bright bowel" is just one of those things that will go away. We aren't completely out of the woods yet, but I feel much better about everything. Especially, when they told us that all other areas of the baby looked great. Thank you for all the prayers, calls, texts and emails. It meant so much to me and helped me through a difficult month of waiting!

| This 3rd baseman from the other team was just staring everyone down when they got to 3rd like "why did you just run over here like that?" |
 |
| And the hat is an issue again |
 |
| We had 4 pitchers, no 1st baseman on no outfielders. They all wanted to catch the ball except Ellie, who is still fighting with her hat |
