31 for 21 : Day 31 : ...and another month comes to an end

But at the same time for me its been great from the perspective of reading other blogs, I have read some very educative, funny, loving, touching, wonderful wonderful blogs, and its made me realise how we are all in this together not in the literal sense, but how all of us spread across the globe are going through so many similar emotions, of joy of excitement of sadness, how we have entered each other lives, not as voyeurs but as friends who are waiting eagerly to share parts of our lives with the other, we look forward to hear what today has brought, what the others' little one is up to, we worry when they are are sick or for that matter have been missing from the blogging world for a little longer than usual. Our lives have become strangely intertwined and its all thanks to that extra 21, thanks to our kids who all have that one thing in common that we are here today sharing with people we have never met, people we would never have known existed, instead of feeling alone nom I feel that the moment I have a concern, a question, something new and exciting to share I have friends who I can turn to, people who do care, who would understand, wouldn't judge, and could feel with me and not just for me.

I want to say that Saira is doing much better, still got a snotty nose (!!) but it's not quite so bad, she actually let me sleep through the night last night, apart from a few moans, but thats o.k. she's allowed that. She is a happy baby again and life with DS couldn't be any more normal than with any child. She sleeps, she wakes, she eats, she plays, she loves to go out, she babbles, she cries, she makes faces, she laughs, she is cute and cuddly and well she's like any baby! O.k. she doesn't stand, she doesn't talk, she has bad eyes, she has thyroid, she probably can't hear in one ear, but hey that's just by the way....thats all stuff we can deal with, and it's not going to come in our way of having and doing all the fun stuff that babies do. So DS isn't going to rob us of our childhood, or of our adolescence, our teenage years or of our adulthood, DS is just part of our life, not our entire life. I want parents who are still new to all this to know that don't let DS take over your life, embrace it and you will see what a blessing you have been given, eventually you will also realise why you were chosen.

I also want to wish everyone a happy Halloween I know what a big day it is for alot of you out there. Guess what, I have a Halloween party today and I have been so busy trying to get our costumes together, alot of work, gosh I hope they turn out somewhat the way I have envisioned it. I'm making costumes of Cleopatra and Julius Ceaser!!! Pictures will definately follow in the next days. Have a great Day!
