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 never got around to writing about your day yesterday- sorry 'bout that! We had a busy day so I was never able to find the time to sit down and write. I enjoy writing so I missed doing it as much as you miss reading it! Yesterday you got to spend a lot of time with your Dad. He came home after class so he could watch you as I went to the temple. And then you spent more time together while I was at a relief society activity. Then we all three went and cleaned the seminary building. Yes, Syd, we pay the bills by cleaning a building and grading papers for a teacher at BYUI. It's very comical.
Today you go in for your weight check. I'll be curious to see if you hit our goal of 8 lbs. 12 oz. Later on tonight your Aunt Heather and her family will be stopping by to see us. They are on their way to a family reunion in Yellowstone so they wanted to come say hello. We are so excited. All of your cousins on the Hessing side of the family call you "Cindy" because the little ones have a hard time pronouncing "Sydney". So I think it has just rubbed off on everyone to call you Cindy. I think its pretty cute.
I wanted to put up some pictures that a man in our ward took of you. You weren't even a week old yet. The photographer's name is Brandon Bishop. If someone is ever in need of a good photographer, look him up! You won't be disappointed. He did such a great job and you are just too cute! You have grown so much...well kind of.











And here you are this morning. You are falling asleep so you look a little drunk...but that very well may be because of your medicine. Who knows!





I love you! Love, Mom
