9 months

Wow, almost forgot that today marked 9 months since we committed to our little Andjela. I can't even believe it's been that long. The length of a pregnancy, and just like a pregnancy I am so ready for this to be done and I've even gained 20 lbs of what I lost after I had Dawson - stress eating LOL!!!

I can only hope it will be soon. Very, very soon!

Love you, Em!

close to my heart



This is Mattea. Although she and Emerson are from different countries and Mattea is older, they have one big thing in common - a complete AV canal. You have followed along with me as I express the agony of time passing for Emerson, knowing how precious that time is when it comes to surgically repairing this heart defect... well little Mattea is 6 years old.

Tomorrow morning Mattea will make the first step toward hopeful repair... a heart catheterization. This will give a better idea of the damage done by the defect remaining unrepaired for so long, and what options are available for correction.

I know someday soon we will be making that same journey with Em, so tonight Mattea and her wonderful family are very close to my heart. Please keep them close to yours, too! ^_^
