The Mayo Clinic Visit



Congrats to Diana. Mia, Natasha and I went to visit Diana in Rochester during her radiation treatments. She is doing great and we are all so proud of her!!!

All is well

Things seem to be coming together. Mia made it through her first week and did really well. Dennis has taken over the childcare duties for the next two weeks. The more I stay away from the whole situation ( I have found) the easier it is on both of us. Dennis loves Kinderberry and thinks I just need a little time to see how well Mia is adjusting. I waited for her to wake up in the middle of the night crying...nothing. I looked for pinch marks and bite marks...nothing. I looked for dehydration signs...nothing. My biggest fear was that she wouldn't seem attached to me...wrong. I'm not saying that I'm pro-working/pro-daycare. All I'm saying is if you make that choice, the kids do survive. If you're lucky--they even thrive. I know it is just the beginning, but at least I've stopped crying.
