I am doing it. I am starting the blog that has been in my head for a few weeks now. This blog is the story of my daughter, Sydney and how we, as a family cope with her heart problems. Sydney has a heart defect that will most likely require open-heart surgery. This will be about her progress, her struggles, mine and Jordan's struggles as we try to help her, what her days are like, and most importantly-the miracles, big or small, that occur in our daily life.I believe that my daughter was born with this heart defect for a reason. We are supposed to learn from this experience so I am using this blog as a way to write my thoughts, fears, worries, and joys that come as we help our daughter heal. There are days when I feel like I have so many different emotions that I am going to explode and fortunately a blog will keep me from doing that! Lucky for you. You are welcome to read this blog even if I've never met you! Feel free to make comments, tell your own story, laugh, judge me on my mothering, or to just cry. Whichever suits you best for whatever reason is fine with me! Enjoy the read...

Dear Sydney,
What an enjoyable day we had today. You are feeling much better so that just automatically made it a good day although your appetite is not quite back to where I would hope. You're only eating about 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 ounces every two hours.
We went shopping for Dad's fathers Day gift. Shh...we can't tell him what it is, it's a secret! And then we came home and picked up your Dad and went to the grocery store. There we bought you a denim jumper, a shirt, and shorts for $8. What a deal! You have been in need of some summer clothes. If you had grown like I thought you were going to then you would have some summer clothes but since you still only can fit into newborn clothes...we had to do something about it. You would have probably sweat all your precious calories away in your other newborn clothes because all you have are sweats, jackets, long sleeve shirts, pants, and a few onesies.
We went on another walk tonight with my cousin Ben and his wife, Alyssa. I wonder how many miles we've put on that stroller so far? I was telling your Dad yesterday that I love walking so much more now that I have you to come with me. It's so fun to have a little buddy with me wherever I go.
I was looking through some of your pictures and tonight I have been especially loving the ones of you sleeping. I have noticed that you like to have something touching your face while you sleep whether it's a blanket or your hand or a pillow. Anyways here are some of your sleeping pictures that I love so much...
















You are such a sweet little girl. I love you so much.
Love forever,
Mom
