We think Gabriella has taken a lot of fine traits from mommy. One trait she took from daddy is what appears to be a pectus excavatum (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pectus_excavatum).
She has a light sink in her chest. Daddy had one that wasn't so light that eventually required surgery. We think Gabriella won't have anything that severe, but it does make her unique.
Worried? Well, maybe at first. But god has got this whole thing under control and has placed her in the care of some great doctors.
So, if Gabriella is reading this note later on in life, "Sorry honey." Oh, and those feet look to be mine too and I am REALLY sorry for that.

Ayla has that same exact thing! Too crazy. She too got it from her father's side of the family. Her grandfather had it so bad, he too required surgery. Oh yeah, thought I'd let you know, Ayla's toes are from Joe's side of the family too. Poor child. We are going to have to get our girls together one day.
