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,
You earned an A+ on your weight check today! Last week you were at 8 lbs. 13 oz. (only gaining one ounce from the week before) and this week you weighed......drumroll please........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................ 9 lbs! Yes, you were such a good girl! You gained the exact amount that we were hoping for. I was a little nervous because last week you didn't do as well so I was afraid you had lost weight this week. But, instead, we were all pleasently surprised! You are still in the 3rd percentile but at least you haven't gone down to the 2nd.

Your cousins were finally born today! Dylan came first weighing in at 6 lbs. 12 oz. and then Claire came feet first weighing exactly the same amount you did at 6 lbs. 2 oz. We sure waited a long time for them to get here!

We walked to the grocery store today and of course, you slept. You seem to really love your stroller. I got to talk to a good friend while I was there. As frustrated as I get with Rexburg, I know I will miss it here.

I think that is all for today. I sure love you, Little Lady.
Love, Mom
