My sweet girl had a very busy day!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We spent the day by having lunch at one of Addie's favorite restaurants, then I took her shopping at one of her favorite toy stores - and let her look around until she was content with her choices. </div>

After shopping, we went to pick up Addie's Birthday cake and another cake to share with everyone else.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
That was one of Addie's favorite parts of the day!</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today is the ninth anniversary of one of the most heartbreaking days of my life.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Nine years later and there are very few days when I don't think about that moment.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">6:00 a.m.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The joy.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The confusion.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Seeing my sweet, beautiful baby girl for the first time.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Falling in love with her so deeply right in the midst of so many heartbreaking emotions.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Nine years later and my need to protect her is fiercer than ever.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">While today is one of the most difficult days for me, it doesn't take away from the overpowering love and pride I have for Addie.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She continues to grow and learn. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There are more and more moments where she catches me by surprise with a new word or phrase.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There are more and more moments when I am privy to hearing her sweet voice express a memory that I didn't even know she had. Moments when I know she remembers people, places, things and events of the distant past. Those moments of realization brings about the deepest and most overwhelming emotions.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Addie is a beautiful, sweet angel that I am so honored to call mine.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She brings joy to so many people and has touched so many lives, all while we continue to make people see past a diagnosis.</span><br />

<a href="http://babyhenderson.blogspot.com/2007/11/moment-that-forever-changed-my-life.html" target="_blank">The beginning - originally posted November 15, 2007:</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I was going through some pictures and found these.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Before now, I didn't want to share them.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">It honestly was too hard for me and such an incredibly private moment.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I know most of you remember this moment in your life.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The moment in which you first saw your new baby.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">For me, this moment of joy was replaced by fear and confusion.</span><br />
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">This was the exact moment when the nurse placed Addie next to me and said the words that I will never forget, "there appears to be a problem".</span><br />
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">When the nurse brought Addie to me, she was crying.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mzCJawdud-w/S7AMh94OfkI/AAAAAAAAJRI/l20312AHX2c/Addie+and+Mommy+12312006+The+very+first+moment.jpg" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453872926431280706" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px;" /></span><br />
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The nurse placed Addie next to me and walked away.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I was unable to reach out to hold Addie.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The only thing that I could do was move my hand so that I could rub her head.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mzCJawdud-w/S7AMhka_alI/AAAAAAAAJRA/nnjLj240RhU/Addie+and+Mommy+12312006+The+very+first+moment+2.jpg" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453872919597771346" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px;" /></span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I wanted so badly to take her in my arms, kiss her and tell her that <em>everything</em> was all right.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I wanted her to know that it didn't matter what had happened in the moments preceding the first time that I touched her.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">It didn't matter what others might have said, it didn't matter what was done and it didn't matter that the nurse didn't <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">congratulate</span> me, she only let me know that this angel that was next to me exhibited "a problem".</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I couldn't take Addie in my arms, but I reached over to her and I touched her head.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">This picture was the exact moment in which I did that.</span><br />
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">This picture captured my thoughts and my love for my baby because the moment that my hand touched Addie, she stopped crying.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mzCJawdud-w/S7AMhbKxelI/AAAAAAAAJQ4/renjA4Ky-T0/Addie+and+Mommy+12312006+The+very+first+moment+3.jpg" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5453872917113829970" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px;" /></span><br />
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">That was all captured in this one picture.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">That private moment was <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">captured</span> for all the world to see, the only thing that is not clearly visible in this picture is the hand of God as HE held my baby close to me for me to touch and <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">whisper</span> to and to tell her that I loved her.</span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">There was no nurse standing there with us, there was only our God and my husband watching as this moment unfolded.</span><br />
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I knew then that I would always be there to wipe away the tears and to take away the fear.</span><br />
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Addie completed my life.</span><br />
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">This was the moment that forever changed my life.</span><br />
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I thank GOD for trusting me to take care of one of his most special angels.</span><br />

Santa came to visit and all of the children, except Addie, so enjoyed spending time with him!</div>

We spent a much needed lazy Sunday outside watching Julien and Chris work on Julien's Jeep.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Addie was content to sit back in her chair and watch the guys until a lizard managed to find its way into the garage.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Addie got all excited while watching Julien try to catch it and once he did, Addie was all about wanting to see it.</div>

So when Julien let the lizard go, Addie was all concerned and insisted on going over to pick it up.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was a good thing that Julien got to it first and nudged it with his foot before Addie could try to get it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She was much more OK with picking it up than I ever would have been!</div>

My oldest brother was able to spend time with us after the wedding.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was a rare opportunity for us to catch up and one story blended into another until we found ourselves talking about our family and the role each served in the military.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My dad was 48 when I was born and 28 years separate my oldest brother and me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There is a lot of family history that I was never privy to.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
F<span style="font-family: inherit;">rom WWII to Vietnam to <span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px;">Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm, my family was there.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px;">One of the most fascinating details I learned is that my dad's brother and my aunt's boyfriend was on the </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px;">U.S.A.T. Dorchester, widely known by the story of the Four Chaplains.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px;">My uncle made it back home, my aunt's boyfriend, did not.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have always known that the men in my family were tough, with iron perseverance, but that story just reaffirmed what I already knew.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thank a veteran today.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Your kind words are more powerful than you know.</div>

Addie doesn't have the opportunity to ride in Julien's Jeep very often, but absolutely loves it when she does. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We look for opportunities, even if it's just going down the street for dinner. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When Addie found out she was getting to go for a ride, she ran to find a container, filled it with her baby, a pacifier for the baby and all the necessary essentials for the baby,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She then stood by the door waiting for Julien. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She is a sweet, sweet girl!</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not to mention...how very sweet Julien is and how fortunate Addie is to have him. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We can't even see her over the dash!</div>

She was looking at Julien for his approval to exit the vehicle.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Which meant, he had to get out and go around and get her.</div>

Taking Addie to the store with us doesn't mean just buying groceries, she now needs to make sure her babies are taken care of as well.</div>

Being the good and conscientious shopper that Addie is, she put back all but one item for her baby.<br />
It took a minute to make the decision, but she did it, without a making a fuss.<br />
Makes for a very good day for us!<br />

Addie is working hard, trying to learn so many different things.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She tries - so hard.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She is still working on learning to put on her shoes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These shoes are a little too big for her, which happened to be a good thing on this particular day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Julien and I were standing right by her, when she grabbed her shoes and slipped her left shoe on without too much effort. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We were both looking on, so very proud, waiting for her to get the right shoe on as well.</div>

Addie's post-op visit went very well!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Both of her new tubes are open </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
AND</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
her "new" little ear looks beautiful!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We are now past the point of having to be super careful with her little ear</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
she can return to normal "girl" PE - meaning she cannot wear helmets or participate in football, wrestling or lacrosse, but most everything else.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We still have to be aware of the possibility of her ear getting bumped or hit, but we don't have to be on edge every second of the day!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Addie is good to go - for one entire year - before her next visit.</div>

We picked up the kids for a "first day of school celebratory dinner" and had a great time listening to the details of Julien and Bailey's day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With Addie, I don't know the details of her first day, which actually crushes me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She was exhausted and ready to go back today, so I take that to mean that her day went well.</div>

She has adjusted to wearing her hand band and doesn't focus so much on wanting to take it off as needing to make sure it is adjusted perfectly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think it helps with the itchiness and weird sensation that she is probably experiencing.</div>

Yesterday was the first day that Addie acted like she felt better.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She wanted to listen to music, and be up and helping with little things, but by the afternoon, she was sleepy and wanted to go to bed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Yesterday was also the first day that Addie could get in the shower and have her hair washed - I think it made us both feel better!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She is making great progress!</div>
