Birthday Girl!!

Kelsi turned 3 on Saturday!! I can't believe it. Where did the time go. I keep thinking next year my little girl will be in preschool! How sad!! Only for mommy, Kelsi is soo excited. She has been saying her ABC's since summer and can count to 15. A month ago she counted to 6 in spanish! (thanks Dora) We had a birthday party for her on Saturday night. She had to wear her Tinkerbell costume (from Halloween) Her cake was Dora of course. (I couldnt make one that hardly looked like Dora) I had to order. When I ordered the cake I asked for 1/2 sheet. Jeff loves extra cake. Well, they made a full sheet instead! Jeff will be eating cake for awhile.

Happy Birthday Kelsi!!

Why?

I am sitting at work reading the newspaper when something aweful catches my eye. A newborn baby girls obituary and her picture. A regular labor, full term baby, but something aweful goes wrong before her parents can even see her for the first time. I am asking God why would you take this precious angel away from her parents and brothers who are expecting her? I don't understand? The parents have hope, expectations, and undying love for this person who they haven't even met and she's taken from them before they even get to know her. I know God has his reasons for everything and I shouldn't question him but this bothers me. I would like to understand.

Update

I talked with my Dr. and the spot was pre-melanoma. Thank goodness we caught it early. I go back Dec 12 to get more tissue removed and retested and frequent checks after for a while.

Doctors or Receptionists?

I have been fretting since Monday on a pathology report I got a call on. Over a week ago I went to the Dermatologist in Sioux Falls for a check up on some sun spots and moles. During my pregnancy with Kynsi some looked like they were getting darker and with my family hx of melanoma I went in to get checked. One spot was removed and Dr seems optimistic till the report came back. The nurse quoted over the phone " exceptionally abnormal change" She said nothing was said about melanoma but she wouldn't be surprised. OK-not so comforting. They need to take out more tissue around the site and do testing. Well the next appt isn't till Dec 12 and I wanted to get in sooner with the holidays. She was going to talk with Dr and she agreed with the report that I shouldn't wait till December. I will receive a call back very soon on the new date. Well it's Thursday evening and I have left 2 messages with the receptionist. So....has my Dr received the messages or have they been misplaced. Sooooo fusturating. The thing is I am sure its fine I just want to get past it.

Halloween Fun

Update

The girls have been extremely busy lately!!! Kelsi seems to always find a way to include Kynsi when she is playing. Hence the picture of Kynsi covered with baby blankets by Kelsi's dolls!!! Kynsi is growing like a weed. She is 12 weeks now and weighing 12 pounds 8oz. Actually she is a little smaller than what Kelsi was at this age. Surprising with how much Kynsi weighed at birth!!
