this is how I know she's done, she either cries or starts to fall asleep, and she's pretty close here....

We have some more news for everyone, and it seems to be good news! We heard from the surgeon and the liver specialist today. The surgeon thinks that the growth is probably a hematoma (which is pretty much a collection of blood)-this is what they originally thought it was. When Abby was first in the NICU, they had her main IV line in through her belly button and they think that's where the hematoma came from. If it is a hematoma, it will go away on it's own and we won't need surgery! YAY!!! There isn't a way for them to know 100% at this point, but that's what they think. The blood work also came back normal, which also leads them to believe it wasn't a hamartoma. We are scheduled to go back to see the surgeon in two months and have another ultrasound and at that appointment he'll decide if she needs an MRI. Again, we are trying not to get our hopes up too high because nothing is totally certain, but whatever the mass is, it's shrinking own it's own and that is amazing!!! We are really happy and are praying she won't need the surgery, but we'll have to wait and see. It seems like all of your prayers are certainly working! We'll keep everyone posted if anything changes. Here are some new pics of Abby doing some more tummy time, which she loves more and more these days.

Abby is so stinking strong! She lifts her head all the way up, it's crazy! She looks like a turtle!
