5 months

My sweet Anna has begun to show quite a bit of her spunky personality. She loves to squeel really loud and gurgle to communicate. She doesn't sit up on her own yet, but she has started to roll over both ways. She's discovering her fingers and her toes and I think its hillarous when she just stares at her hands in wonder. She loves to laugh and Jeremiah can almost always make her giggle. No teeth yet, but boy she sure drools a lot.

Sweet Giggles

Disregard the spaghetti sauce all over their faces, they are still as sweet as can be taking a bath all together. These goofballs sure make my day full of surprises and lots of laughs

 

PS. anyone else notice that i have a blue-eyed child? Where did that come from?

 

Slit My Throat

Since most everyone who reads this blog (and I mean the 5 people who read it) I've already shared this with, I'll keep it short and to the point.

Back in March I was in for my annual dr's appointment and my midwife felt a lump on my neck. Yup, awesome. She recommended that I get it checked out with my primary care Dr (which of course I didn't have at the time... I do now :)) After weeks, and now months of blood work, ultrasounds, two biopsies we still only know that I might have thyroid cancer. sweet.

So I am scheduled for surgery in July and my lovely dr is going to slit my throat and remove my thyroid. We should have more definative answers after that. I'm not sure what the entire course of treatment will be after surgery, it depends on what they find. Luckily, thyroid cancer is fairly slow-growing, so waiting until July isn't as horrid as it sounds.

But the good news is that I won't have a lump on my neck anymore! I know no one else can tell, but I can see it. I have even looked through past photos and I {think} that I've had it for a while.

 

Anyway, Your prayers are GREATLY appreciated. We've already felt the blessings coming our way from the prayers that have been offered on our behalf. We love you all and I promise I'll post pictures of my beautiful children soon!
