All in all, I sleep just about all day (all two days of every day!). Except, of course, when they poke me with needles and stuff. That is really annoying (and they all wonder why I have such an annoyed look all the time?). My daddy couldn't be in the room when they put in the 'pik' line cuz they called it a sterile procedure. I think it was because the doctors and nurses knew it would hurt and that I would cry, and that would make my daddy very sad. It doesn't hurt now though.

The surgeon lady came in today when my Grandma Karen, my big sister Alyssa and my daddy were in the room with me. She uncovered my stickie-out tummy thing, and explained to them what was going to happen next. The surgeon lady said everything was going well, and that maybe they could do some surgery later this week, or they could wait a little longer till more of my innards dropped into my tummy. I guess I keep pushing some back out--specially when I get a little angry and annoyed! Since my tummy thingie is considered 'rare,' when the surgeon lady took off the gauze, a lot of nurses and stuff came in to see my tummy.

The nurses here are so nice to me. They are very careful, and they treat me very delicately. I really appreciate that. I think they know that having this tummy thingie is just bout all a little girl like me can take at one time.
