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,
Today you have been my little packing buddy. Every day we pack a few boxes here and there but today we have kicked it into high gear. Being that we need to have everything packed by Thursday night...we have a lot to do! So, to keep ourselves entertained while we pack you sit in your swing, I turn on music, you smile, and I pack. It's a great thing we've got going on! I wish I had some pictures to show just how cute you are but my camera has been dead for the past few days and I am yet to charge it. Hence the reason why I haven't been posting pictures lately. Sorry!

You go to the cardiologist tomorrow! Yes, we get to go see Dr. Judd again. This will be the last time we see her before your surgery...whoa. I remember when we scheduled this appointment with Dr. Judd about a month ago and I thought to myself, "By the time that appointment rolls around, your surgery will only be weeks away." Now that your appointment is tomorrow that means that your surgery really is only weeks away. 3 weeks from tomorrow, to be exact. In two weeks we are going down to Utah for your first Pre-op and then about 5 days after that, we are going back down to Utah for the actual surgery. Within the 4 weeks, we will be doing a lot of driving.

You woke up this morning at about 8:30. Then you went back down for a nap at 9:30. You didn't wake up until 11:30. Then you went down for another nap at 12:30 and woke up at 1:30. Now it is 3:30 and you are back asleep. This just goes to show how much you sleep in a day. It has just been lately that you have started to sleep this much this often. I wonder if you will sleep this much after your surgery?

I need to keep packing. I get the most done while you are asleep because when you are awake, I just end up staring at you or playing with you. Playing with you is much more fun than packing.

I love you, little lady.
Love, Mom

Isn't that the truth. I get distracted packing too. Especially because Joshua is getting to the age where he smiles and coos at me. Loving it! I hope the move goes well for you. Keep us updated as well as let us know if you need help with absolutely anything. Love you three!
