On a Roller Coaster Ride...

Wow!  The past two weeks have been absolutely unimaginable...yet somehow we have survived.  Last Monday (3/19) my mom took my dad to the hospital for what they thought was arthritis pain.  A few x-rays later he was admitted to the hospital.  After this, all the days run together for me, but lots and lots of tests were run and my dad has cancer.  They have started radiation and chemotherapy.  This has been such a shock...he doesn't even look sick.  But, together we will all survive this nightmare.  We thought we had our share of agony when my mom went through it 16 years ago...but here we go again with my dad.
With all of this sadness, confusion, and shock, Kyle and I are still going through one of the happiest times of our life...with little Langley on the way!  I'm now 21 weeks and went last week for the anatomy scan.  She is happy and healthy in her little home.  She is quite the little wiggle worm in there and I have been feeling her a lot lately...best feeling in the world!  Our biggest wish is that Kyle could also feel her moving around...hopefully one day soon! 
We have a lot of her room ready.  Painted, furniture assembled, and our latest addition...the glider.  I wasn't sure it would fit...the room shrunk really fast, but it is a necessity!  We need to hang stuff on the walls still...but that will come in time.  I'm glad we've got the bulk of it done.  I know I won't feel like it when summer gets here!
So, it has been a roller coaster of ups and downs and it is really hard to understand all of the mixed emotions I'm having all at the same time.  But...now we have two prizes to keep our eyes on...dad coming home and Langley coming into the world!
