What a night - it's amazing what your brain can do to you if you let it. Joe and I had cake for dessert and I made the comment that we couldn't give this to Hunter because this would send her soaring. She gets too much sugar in her and it's a lost cause to calm her down. Then I got to thinking that we should take her in to see her pediatrician to see why she reacts to sugar like that. There are days when even natural sugar gets her cranked up. Then I though about Nick. As close as teammates are, I don't think we see the half of what he goes through. We've all seen him give himself shots and test his sugar levels.... most of us have gone to some sort of classes to know what's going on. But his life had to change a little bit when he got the news.
A million things went through my head as I tried to sleep last night. I don't want her to have to do what Nick does with the shots and everything. She's six. She'd be ok with it, it's the adults around her that would fall apart. This little girl is the center of our world and in my mind, she will always be the happy, healthy kid she's always been. But what if she's not?
I can remember the second I fell in love with her. And I almost didn't make it. I was gonna meet Kate at the ultrasound and there was a huge traffic tie up - but thankfully, Kate's doctor was running late. I got there just in time to hear my daughter's heart beating. I still remember the almost tinny sound it made, filling the room. She had me from that moment on.
Called Kate already this morning and she is in Chicago. While she would prefer to be here, if we can get Hunts in today, Kate said we should.
I don't think I've ever been this afraid.
