Blessings

What a day. Dad had his surgery today and it looks like it was a total success! We were so happy to hear they felt all of the cancer was removed.

Steve and I started the day at a "high risk" ultrasound appointment in the Med. Center area. We got to see "Five" and he/she looked great! We were curious to find out if our new baby would be a son or a daughter, but were quickly told, "this is not an anatomical check." We had to schedule that ultra sound appointment for June 1. We headed out the door with a few cute photos and went straight to the hospital to check on Dad. He had just barely gotten out of surgery and the report was great. We enjoyed a quick lunch in the cafeteria with Linda. We shared baby photos and sighs of relief.

I can't help but feel the blessings today. It seems like the cancer diagnosis and news of our pregnancy carried such opposite emotions. Life is like that I suppose. Today began with a lot of fear and worries. The day ends with joy and thanksgiving.
