Yes, yes...I missed a day in the blog. Don't panic, things are fine (Auntie Lori & Auntie Kathy). Little Miss Amelia has been throwing little temper tantrums at night when we put her back from kangarooing with her and we are now getting home even later than before. We also gave her a break from the paparazzi camera. After taking 42 pictures of her in 2 hours, we decided to close our eyes and see how bright that flash REALLY was! We felt pretty bad afterwards and gave her a night off. But I promise when I get home tonight, you will see some cute little pictures of her (updated). I am up in the family room at the hospital typing this email. Amelia started a new feeding today where they give her 27 cc's of her mommy milk in 2 hours and then give her 1 hour off to give her a break. 27 cc's sounds like so much, but it amounts to not even 1 ounce! It's better than the 1/2 cc we started out with only a few weeks ago. So I am waiting until her feeding is done in 15 minutes and then will kangaroo. (I kangaroo'd for 3 hours!).
I received this "chain letter" from one of the realtor's I work with today and really liked it. It seemed to be very fitting for me and made me just stop to take this in and give me a little peace; make me feel like this was what was intended for Amelia and for us. To see this as a gift and to just take a deep breath and then exhale knowing that whatever is thrown at us in life, we will get thru it. And when it's all over, we can look back and be amazed that we got thru things and that "it" changed our life and "it" made us stronger. But most importantly to open our eyes to what really is important in life and to me, that is having faith and love and family.
St. Theresa's Prayer:
May today there be peace within. May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith. May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content knowing you are a child of God. Let this presence settle into your bones, and allow your soul the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of us.
