The Before and After...Isn't that amazing!!!

So as you can see...Bindi's eye looks great! And its only been 2 weeks. She is doing so good. She still has a little ways to go, but the stitches are all gone! My sister came over today and made Bindi a whole bunch of bows. They are soooo cute!! I love all these pics! Oh and the onesie Bindi is wearing was also made by my sister...yes I know she is quite talented...me on the other hand...not so much.

Out Of Surgery!
Okay so first off I have to say that I am so thankful that the whole surgery is done. I know that the next couple weeks are going to be a little rough, but at least I know she is okay. The pictures of her in the tupperware bin is the night before her surgery, we are staying in a hotel and no matter how much I clean the tub with bleach and Lysol...I just couldn't put her in it...hence the fat little girl in the Tupperware( which I thought was hysterical!)We left our hotel at 4:50am hence my hair and the bags under my eyes. Bindi did great in surgery and we are so thankful for her wonderful Dr. and for all of the nurses and the anesthesiologist. It was so hard to let my little girl go, but she did great...and as you can see she is still the happiest little girl. When I had to hand her over to the anesthesiologist I started bawling and when we turned to walk back down the hallway without her I could her her squeaking and laughing as she went down for surgery... so all in all Bindi was brave mommy was a baby and daddy was a wonderful comforter as always. Her Dr. said she has five stitches on the inside and then 4 on the outside of her eye, things are going to look pretty bad for a while but he said once we hit weeks 3-5 we should see a pretty huge improvement. Thank you for all of your calls, thoughts, and prayers they meant a lot to us and our little girl. I am going to try to post a video so lets cross our fingers and hope it works. Oh and I couldn't get the pictures in the order I wanted and I am exhausted so forgive me.
