We finally received Hannah's new Safety Sleeper! We're excited for her to have a safe option for sleep, especially while traveling (it fits in a suitcase). She's still sleeping in a pack n play when we travel or when she's at the grandparents', but she's quickly outgrowing those options. And she's still in a crib at home, but she's also outgrowing that (and it's getting harder to get her out!). We're thankful for this option and hope that it lasts us a long time. (And Cara is the most excited about it. I think that she thinks that it's a fort.)

I head in for round 5 of 6 tomorrow. I am really dreading it and wish that I could just be done. I feel kind of like a toddler whining, "I don't want to go!" But, really, other than increased fatigue this time, I felt like many other things were improved. And I actually had a really great week this last week. I even got to see several friends, which honestly made a huge difference. I'm finding that not leaving the house except to go to medical appointments is really not good for my mental health and has a big impact on my physical health, as well. So I need to remember that and try to schedule some friend visits in when I can. We also took Hannah to an appointment in Akron and managed to squeeze in some family fun too (a splash pad and a favorite restaurant). Every bit of normal and fun with friends and family helps me remember why I'm doing this.

Please pray for manageable side effects this time! I fully expect to be extremely fatigued, but that is okay. It's annoying and frustrating, but it's not painful or scary, so I can handle it. If all of the other side effects can stay away (or just stay the same as what they've been), I'll be happy.

Also, Hannah was asked to do a photoshoot for Akron Children's Hospital. It was supposed to be this week, but they moved it, so now I won't be able to go, which is a bummer. But, Sean will take her. I'm just hoping that she is in a good mood and gives them at least one good shot! I don't want to waste their time - and I also really want to see her beautiful face somewhere at the hospital! She will surely bring a smile to someone.

Finally, Cara turns two on Tuesday. I'm sad that I won't be up for much celebrating because she is a huge reason to celebrate. (We'll push the real celebration to another time.) She is just such a joy, and I'm so, so glad that I get to be her mom.

Thanks again for the continued prayers. They mean so much to us.
