Zoe At 6 Months

Zoe turned 6 months today. When the doctors broke their news to us 183 days ago, we were sure we wouldn't have 6 days. Or 6 weeks. We are truly blessed to have 6 months.

We sang happy birthday to her and had a candle on some brownies that Teia made. The boys wore hats (Aidan ripped Ethan's off and stepped on it).

Here's my sin - through it, I've somehow shifted from grateful thanks to "Now what?" (anger)

Dr. Frommelt, renowned pediatric cardiologist, might have called today. we don't know because it was after Jen had called begging for news. Whoever it was didn't leave a message.

Maybe everything's great and she has no news. (denial) I just have an inkling that there is news, and I wish that I could somehow trade some of my wasted heartbeats to Zoe. (bargaining)

Thank you everyone for all your wonderful prayers and wishes. This is a day filled with so much pride and emotion for all of us. We're truly humbled by what we've been given.
