Glad you had a nice Mother's Day. I seriously love that day. My mom hates it--she says it reminds her that was never a perfect mom. Me and my brother disagree but she still just doesn't like that day. I,however, love it. I know I'm not perfect but I just feel so grateful to be able to be a mother. I love it all. It's the hardest, most satisfying thing I have ever or will ever do! And I admire you as a mom--I am so glad to have you for a friend! I have to comment on the water in the canal. Don't ever be afraid to be paranoid! If it makes you feel better and keeps Nathan completely out of harm's way it's a great thing. I was the same way with Bubba. Until he was past the age that Brea was when she was diagnosed, I was so sure that he was going to have the same thing. Every little problem I attributed to hydrocephalus instead of normal growing pains! After having such a trying experience with one child, it is so very brave to try it again with another one. But I have to say, having Bubba really healed my heart and let me enjoy watching him grow. I never take anything for granted! I hate that I had to learn this way but it's still such a blessing to have grown the way I have. And you, my friend, are the epitome of brave, loving, and strong! I love ya! Wow,chica,busy as usual!
