Riley's checkup!

We just got back from Charleston and got such great news from Riley's appointment!!! All of her tests came back looking great and her heart looks amazing. YIPPEEEEE!!!! If you look at her and watch her, you wouldn't be surprised by this in the least bit because of how active she is! She holds her breath under water for so long that it scares people! She can already do handstands in the pool...and she and Reagan never stop moving and playing. We were very nervous after her appointment in February when we received some unexpected news...but are just so happy to report that as of now, the doctors have no concerns and we don't have to go back until NEXT July! YIPPEEEEE AGAIN!!!!!!
We actually had a great time in Charleston as we took the girls and stayed at The Charleston Place hotel. It's right in the middle of downtown and we had so much fun taking them all around and walking up and down King Street. I can't wait to go back when we can enjoy it a little more (Matt and I were a tad stressed until after her appointment!!!)! On Thursday night we took a PediCab from our hotel to upper King Street where they opened up a Jeni's Ice Cream shop. If you've never had Jeni's ice cream you are missing out!!!! It is amazing...it's based in Ohio and has become so popular that it's now expanding all over! The girls thought the pedicab was absolutely hilarious. And the ice cream was just as good as we remembered it from when we lived in Cleveland!
Most importantly...Riley had a good checkup! She was so brave and stayed so still during all of her tests. (I brought along some lollipops so that might have helped a bit!)! Reagan was such a good "big" sister and calmed Riley down and stayed quiet when she needed to and helped us out so much! The children's atrium at MUSC is amazing and the girls had fun playing in there in between waiting for different tests and doctors. Riley especially liked the doctor's office area where she could pretend to be a cardiologist and check out the babydoll's heart! A very sweet and proud moment for Matt and I watching her. Needless to say, we are incredibly relieved and can breathe easy again (until next July, ha!!!)!
So....we're back home and waiting for Nana Susan to arrive! She'll be here for a week and we can't wait to show her our new house and have lots of fun playing, playing, playing!
