Film Friday: Life in 2011, Part One
in Film FridayThank you for all the well wishes we received for Nora, especially on Facebook after I posted about this morning’s other scary first — her first bloody nose.

A Heartbreaking First
I knew it was coming inevitably, but part of me, in denial, hoped that maybe we could avoid it…forever. Today, Chris and I realized that Nora is experiencing a first — not an exciting, shout from the rooftop first, but one of those firsts you hope to avoid as long as possible. Today is officially…
