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,
I am worried about you today. You have thrown up twice (not just a little spit up, they are spews). You still aren't eating the way we would hope. Your forehead has been a little sweaty tonight and you aren't acting the way you normally do. If you keep this up throughout the night, we are calling the doctor in the morning just to see what he says. I hope that it's nothing and that I am just over analyzing but I'd rather be safe than sorry.
We celebrated father's day today. We made your dad breakfast this morning before church. For dinner we had Parmesean Chicken which is turning into one of your Dad's new favorites. I love your Dad so much, Syd. He means the world to me and I don't know what I would ever do without him. He is the rock of our family. I, on the other hand, am the one who forgets everything and is ridiculously emotional. And you...well...your are cuasing quite the heartache. Literally. You gave us a good laugh today while you were eating. You had your hand up by your eyes. You looked like you were just completely exhausted by eating (which is all actuality you probably are) but it was just the way you had your hand on your head. Here are the pictures:





Well, my sweet baby girl, I hope tonight goes better for you. I love you.
All my love, Mom

P.S. Dad was taking pictures of you because he thought it looked like you were playing peek-a-boo. You would barely poke your eyes out from under the blanet:

One of the things Heavenly Father has given us moms is a mothers intuition, or in other words the spirit speaks strongly to us concerning our stewardships (family). Never doubt your inner promptings and you can't go wrong. So no matter what anybody says..go with your gut feelings, they havn't failed me yet. Love you Natalie, we pray for you that you will continue to have the strength to see this trial through, thanks Jo for being the rock, but we know with your tender heart it is just as hard on you. You 3 sweethearts are in our hearts and prayers night and day. Being a parent helps you to understand Heavenly Father and what he went through as he watched his Son suffer for us. And thank goodness he did, he knows your hearts and your struggles, and is there for you as we are. Dear Sydney, you have cause quite a stir in the short time you have been here, but oh how we love you. Be a good girl and drink that bottle baby girl, you need the pounds. Love grandma Moon
