Our little dancer

-
I had this great video moment last night.

Brock had his stereo (computer) tuned to an old Commander Cody concert and was playing it loud - "Hot Rod Lincoln" started and Leda just started dancing and clapping and bouncing around. It was so cute, I ran to grab the little digital camera that takes video (yes, that one that stopped working a few months back - long story short, Brock fixed it enough for it to start taking pictures again).

I shot video of Leda dancing, and clapping, and bouncing around to the music. It was just so cute. I was so excited to post it to the video blog (remember the video blog? yeah, me barely too!)

Well, we found something not completely right about the old digital camera. The video was dark (but that might have been the dark basement, so not completely surprised on that end) but most importantly, no sound. None at all. You couldn't hear the song, you couldn't hear my child laughing and giggling. You couldn't hear Brock and I laughing. Nothing. Nada. Silence.

So, I am not posting the video. I will, however, start using the old video camera that my sister-in-law passed down to us, now that I have a dvd record with VCR! I've gotta start video taping some of these more precious moments before they are gone.

All is not completely lost - I have a beautiful memory of my child dancing like she had not a care in the world. I hope she does that a lot for the rest of her life.

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...
