As elated as I was to finally receive our new pump, I wish we never needed it to arrive.
As much as I can't wait to begin a new way of kicking D's butt, I had a sinking feeling all day.
As all the smiles and laughter was shared that day I had to hide the frowns and sadness.
To see your 5 year old holding a plain brown box of medical equipment as if it was a magnificent gift wrapped with a beautiful bow on Christmas morning...that stings a little.
To know that this technology is what is keeping your child alive every single second of their life...that tugs a little.
To realize that this is the start of Cara's "new" life, her whole life with her and her pump...that breaks my heart a little.
I just keep thinking PINK is for bubble gum and nail polish...
My sweet, sweet Cara!

Bitter-sweet, but it will be such a blessing! Hugs!
Tears...I get it. I am so not ready for my daughter to have a pump yet.
Yep, it's one of those things that we all wish didn't have to be but are so thankful for it at the same time!
We waited a long time because I didn't want him hooked to something... now, I would kick some ass if they tried to take it away. Most of the time you cant even see it.
