Gearing up for 2010

Christmas was graciously gentle. There really only were a couple instances where I was reminded that we were missing a 10 month old rummaging through presents and the tree. Being "morning" sick through the holidays hasn't helped really either but oh well. Let's just pray that it subsides at some point. I was sick every day until delivery with Sage. The midwife group I see now have been great. When I went in to request Zofran the midwife I saw basically said they would do everything they could to ensure I have the easiest pregnancy they could. I like that. I could go for easy and smooth this time around. I hope everyone's holiday was gentle as well.

We found someone who said they would be honored to cast a statue for Sage. It was kind of funny when I called. I said, "I'm looking for someone to make a statue with my daughter's ashes". It went like this....

"Assets?"

"No, ashes"

"Address?"

"No, ASHES"

"With Access?"

"NO, MADE WITH HER ASHES...you know, REMAINS"

"Ohhhhhhhhhhh....ashes"

He was quite lovely about it though and we go down there sometime this week or next to pick out a mold. He assured me that if we can't find one we like they will make something custom. I'm excited and I know we will find the right one. Hopefully it's not an arm and a leg.

Thanks for all the wonderfully kind remarks. It's a sad and comforting to know we are all in this together.
