Remember that map I pictured a couple posts down? With Blogger, I can add pictures to each post. I was thinking of adding an Annika picture with each post. This picture is one of my favorite Annika photographs. This was her six month portrait. I'll try and get some more recent ones downloaded from the camera and onto this machine for future entries. Fun, no?

Annika woke up at 5:15am this morning and she was not intererested in the least in going back to sleep. While not ideal, this was not the worst thing in the world. However, Annika only wanted her mommy this morning and mommy had to get in the shower, get ready and go to work. There were many, many tears. Fortunately, she was done crying before I even left the house. I called home when I got to work and she was busy "roaring" in the background as I talked to Daddy. I know in my head that she's fine and will have a good day with Daddy but it is still so hard to walk out of the room and leave her when she's crying, calling for Mommy and stretching out for me. I just want to run back to her and hold her forever.

Today at 3:15pm I go in for the next bone marrow donor blood test.
