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,
We took another video of you today. You don't say much...in fact I don't think you say anything at all but it's still cute. Just scroll down to the end of this post to watch it. You are 11 weeks old now. Wow. I can't believe it. It makes it even harder to believe it when you are pretty much the same size as when you were born! The outfit you are wearing in this picture is the exact same outfit we brought you home in from the hospital.

You have another weight check tomorrow morning. Lets hope that this time you have gained more than an ounce. Tomorrow you should weigh exactly 9 lbs. We'll see if you made the cut our not. You have been eating really well today and you haven't been as sleepy. If only we could have this kind of day every day! Hmm...I'm thinking that won't happen until the end of August. The doctors say that you'll be a completely different baby after the surgery. I wonder how different you'll be? It makes me a little nervous because you have been such an angel...what if that all goes away? Oh dear. I guess we are going to find out very soon!

Here you are in the video we took of you today at 11 weeks old.


You are a dream. I love you!

Mom

Cameron and Brady and I just read your blog, Cameron said the green stuff on your blog is very beautiful and that she can smell baby Sydney's skin - thats ok she told her mom that there is a humming bird that lives in her room. Brady wants to know if she has gone poo poo (boys are always concerned about body functions). Laura is at the Dr. scheduling her C-section, excited to know when baby Chyanne will be born. Sydney, you looked comfortable and content, we love you and are very excited to see what a wild and crazy girl you will be after your surgery. Thanks for waving at Grandma. We miss you!
