This weekend brought a huge win for me. I am officially allowed to pick up Channing!!!!!!! It's hard to explain how amazing this is for me. I essentially didn't get to pick her up for a month. Yes, I was able to hold her while sitting down. But I couldn't hold her like a mom should. And I can now. She's 5 months old now and she's all mine! Tonight I carried her to her room and rocked her a bit before I laid her down to sleep. It felt like one of the most amazing things in all of my life. Those 5 minutes were magical and I doubt I'll ever forget the feeling.
I also hope that I never lose track of how easy it is to take something for granted. I sure don't think I will for a long time.
On another related/unrelated note, I'm planning to walk the 1-mile 'Race for the Cure' this coming Sunday if anyone is around. Second, I DVRed the Stand Up To Cancer program and highly recommend viewing it on YouTube (or any network site) if you missed it. Good stuff - research is the key to beating this miserable cancer mess and 100% of proceeds to directly to help. You can check out www.standuptocancer.org if you aren't interested in watching the one-hour special.
YAY! Such exciting news! Holding Channing had to have been the most triumph moment you have had with all of this.
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear you are doing much much better and I plan to be there for the race on Sunday!
Enjoy your time with your little princess, it is well deserved!:)

You've lived a whole life in 2 months and are beyond us in seeing that little things are really big things. I like to read the blog so that I can happy cry.

How sweet ... you just brought me back to rocking my babies and reminded me of one of the best parts of being a mom. I am so happy you are doing so well and you are starting to be able to do the things you love. You continue to amaze me and you have taught us all to be grateful. Thinking of you and your family and wishes you the best.
