Hope is doing great today. She got some extra time with me (or I should say, I got some extra time with her :-) since I haven't been feeling well this week. Most of my friends already know that Ben and I found out last week that we are expecting another little baby in September. Although this one probably will not be as cute, sweet, or well behaved as Hope is! So, Hope is my constant companion and gives me hugs and kisses when I'm not feeling well. I actually woke up this morning to find Hope using Ben's pillow as her own and staring right back at me, wide awake and watching me,... I'm not really sure why, but it was a little unnerving :-) So, I apologize for the lack of regular updates, I really did intend to update her blog every day, but it's gotten away from me a little bit. Rest assured that Hope continues to do well and is growing and healing nicely!
