Thank you all for your kind words! We just spent our first night at home Sunday night and we both now realize how much work there is going to be in these early months, but also both realize how worth it it all is and will be in the future, it is truly amazing to wake up every three hours and sit and watch a piece of you figuring out the world around her. She already has so many expressions: her poop face, her frustration face, feed me face, stubborn face, etc. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> I have even witnessed and been a part of her first projectile pooping, all i can say is damn!
On the flip side, though, we just found out a week before Anna's birth that my mother has breast cancer. Talk about a punch to the gut. This time was supposed to be about happiness and excitement for everyone and now we are dealing with the complete other end of the spectrum. It has been hard to seperate the 2. She is going in today for the test to see if it is in her lymph nodes and then we go from there to determine treatment. She is the mother of 2 young adults with cf, 2 kids that she was told probably wouldn't make it through their early teens. I am now 28, my sister 24. She never thought she would be a grandmother and now has a beautiful little granddaughter. Sometimes I wonder why things happen the way and when they do. This just doesn't make sense to me at this point, but hopefully we will be able to look back after she beats the cancer and figure out why this happened when it did.
Thanks again and please send some positive vibes my mom's way!
