Progress

Emily is getting stronger every day.  It is such a joy to hear people say that they can see her progress - I suppose it is the perspective that comes with not seeing her every day.  I have to admit that she does feel heavier! It feels like decades ago that it took 45 minutes to feed her 40ml of formula and that she weighed only 4kgs, when in actual fact it was less than two years ago.  I can still feel a clamp on my heart when I think of her tiny, skinny body and our daily struggle and anguish when it came to feeding her.  It is so hard to let go of the sadness and focus on all the good that is around us now, but, I promise, this is my daily mantra.  Emily makes me so happy.  So, every day, we do our exercises, continue our progress, and enjoy every moment of it.
