Dinner with Grandpa and Nana!

-
Last night, we went to dinner with Grandpa and Nana, who are in town to promote Nana's book, The Gift of More.

We joined Grandpa and Nana at Taquet in Wayne and we had a GREAT dinner. Grandpa gave Leda a teddy bear that he purchased at the toy store across the street from the hotel they are staying in (Leda's all for Grandpa and Nana, and any other Grandparents that want to visit, to stay at hotels across the street from toy stores! In fact, any relatives that want to visit, just let us know and we will tell you what hotels are across the street from toy stores that you can stay in!) Leda loves the teddy bear and she was such a good girl while we were having dinner!

After dinner, Nana couldn't stand it anymore and had to hold Leda...

(AND, you might notice that Leda's face looks really red and blotchy...she's sporting a nasty rash, which we believe has something to do with the teething...it's getting better and we will discuss with the Doc this week!)

Then, Leda got to sit on Grandpa's lap...

Then, when desert came, probably against our better judgement, Brock let Leda taste a little Rasberry sorbet...
Trying some Rasberry SorbetRasberry Sorbet...Yum!

Regardless of the look, this kid LOVED rasberry sorbet (she even tried some of Mommy's Pear Sorbet and LOVED that too!) As soon as she got over the coldness and the different taste, the mouth opened wide for another spoonful! In fact, the looks she gave Daddy when he took a bite for himself where PRICELESS! Unfortunately, Mommy was laughing so hard at the faces she was making that Mommy only got these two pictures. And, the redness of her face this time is not the rash - it's the color of Rasberry! ;-)

We had a GREAT time with the Grandparents! Leda can't wait to see them again - and we will on Wednesday at Nana's signing!

Happy Baby...Thank Goodness!

Brock and I lucked out completely! We have the happiest baby we could hope for! Leda is truly a joy and seems to be a very happy child. She babbles a lot these days, and ALWAYS has a smile for us - seemingly ever moment of the day! Of course, she has her moments...usually when she's tired or when she's hungry and we haven't produced the bottle fast enough (yes, I am sure if Leda had a blog, we'd be hearing about how we make her wait to eat ALL THE TIME!), but these moments only last for a very short time. We usually have a smiling, cooing and giggling child on our hands. I think the thing I dreaded the most about having a child is that we'd have a baby that cried all the time. I am happy to announce that my fears are unfounded! At least, until someone at the hospital figures out that they gave us the wrong child!! This past weekend, Leda had her first (of MANY!) trip to the book store. We headed out to Barnes and Noble on Saturday morning to purchase the new Harry P...

Our little Miner Bird

Last night while I was on the phone with my boss, Leda unscrewed the knob from the light swtich on the table lamp. She handed it to me and announced, "I broke it, Mommy" so proudly, I almost cried! As I was trying to put it back on the light, while still speaking with my boss and attempting to keep the child from getting in my way and NOT blinding myself by the light (oh, good Bruce song!) since she had unscrewed it WHILE THE LIGHT WAS ON, I said to her (jokingly*), "Ima gonna beat your butt" while laughing (pretty much because my boss on the other line was laughing at me). Leda stopped and looked at me and said, in all seriousness, "No butt beat, Mommy." I laughed and gave her a big hug and told her "Not today!" ;-) *NOTE: I would never beat my child - just wanted to announce that in case anyone would think to report me to child services! If you want something to report us for, come over to our house around 5 in the evening when our child is beg...

Second Opinions and Trusting the Process

-
So what do you do when you get a diagnosis of terminal cancer? Ok, yeah, you freak out. I’m pretty sure that’s what I experienced the first week of this new life. You start thinking of all the last things you will be doing. That’s where my head went. When we met with our oncologist, who came very highly recommended and, as it turns out, was the Dr my primary Dr team WANTED for me, I had only known for exactly a week and had only had my biopsies done that morning so we still didn’t know exactly what kind of breast cancer I had. The meeting was a blur. I remember having two questions…should I change my diet and what is the prognosis?  So, let me step back, Dr V (Dr Maria Vershvovsky…..yeah, no one can pronounce her name well, thus, the Dr V!) is with Penn Medicine’s Abramson Cancer Center and associates with Chester County Hospital….the best cancer center in this area of PA and one of the best hospitals….20 mins from home, so we are really lucky. My Dr was very certain that this is t...
