Blessings..

Every once in a while, usually while staring at Emma's face, it hits me how incredibly lucky I am. Don't get me wrong, I am thankful for her every second of every day, but I still have a special moments of disbelief that things have turned out the way they did. There have been so many times in the last 6 months that I wondered if I was strong enough to endure everything that had been handed to me. I owe so many things to my amazing family, friends, doctors and nurses. I know that I never could have survived without your support and prayers and I will be eternally grateful for everything that you have done for me and my family. Thank you for keeping us in your prayers and for standing by us and we went through this most difficult time :)
Okay, moving on from the sap.... Emma's 4 month appt went well. She's 8lbs 13oz and her doctor is very happy with her growth. The shots were HORRIBLE. The poor little muffin was so out of sorts for the next 24 hours, it was so hard for both of us. Her Early Intervention (EI) appt also went really well. Her therapist is super impressed with how social she is (she gets that from Jamie) and her muscle strength. It's nice to know she's progressing well :)
