Now, today I can brag on Norah. Our little lazy angel has cut her first tooth. And she is doing extremely well with it. Yes she is a little fussy at times but not as bad as I was expecting. I am so amazed at how fast time flies. Seems just like yesterday that my babies were born. And now they are getting teeth. Sharp ones at that!! Can't wait to see those other pearly whites.

As I type, I am becoming more and more anxious about Abby's upcoming surgery tomorrow. I know in my heart that she will come through this with flying colors. But I now truly understand what my mother, and of course you other mothers, have been saying all these years. "You just wait until you become a mother. You will see." And they are right. My heart hurts so much for her. Not because I am scared of the outcome. But because she doesn't know what is about to happen to her. (Which Kevin says is a big comfort to him). She is so innocent and happy and brave. We went today for the pre op visit and she didn't shed one tear when the nurse drew her blood. I wish 10 times over that I could take her place. But I know that she is in God's hands and there is no place I had rather her be. So tonight the prayer is for strength for Kevin and I, steady and brilliant hands for the doctors, and courage for "little Abbs" as we face the most difficult time in her little life, to date. Until next time...
