My baby girl is so amazing. Today she officially rolled over. I saw it 4 times! I put her on her belly and she just rolled to her side and then on to her back. I flipped her back over and she did it again. Then when Eric came home she did it twice for him. It was so cool.
Wow. Another milestone.

The day-to-day life of a mother, wife, daughter, sister, friend, student, and cancer survivor. This is the journey through my life.
About Me
- Jennifer
- My name is Jennifer. I became a daughter 29 years ago and a wife 7 years ago. In June 2003, Eric and I decided that we would like to become parents. Shortly thereafter, we were pregnant. Eight weeks later, I began this blog to help my family and friends keep up with my pregnancy. Unfortunately, that pregnancy was only with me for two more weeks before I was diagnosed with a "missed miscarriage." In November 2003 we decided to try again. We were eventually successful. Grace was born December 12, 2004 and I became a mother. September 23, 2005 I was diagnosed with breast cancer and decided this blog was a good place to write about that fight too. Sitting here three years later, I can call myself a survivor. After 2 years of being cancer free we were blessed with another pregnancy. Our son Luke was born on May 7, 2008 and I again became a mother. I hope others enjoy reading, but this blog is for me. I never know what I will become next, but I know it will be a journey. And whatever I become, I will wear it like a badge of honor.

Congratulations! That is awesome! I want to see!
Oh, you are just making us so mushy and want to be there now instead of a few weeks! **wink**
This makes me wonder what she will be doing by the time you guys get out here. Tell her to stop growing up so fast. Grandma and Grandpa can't wait to see her.
