Before October flies by, I need to write about my two favorite “pinks.” Emmy holds long conversations with me, in her own baby language. She has started to bite me to get my attention, just like a puppy. If I ask her to bring me her sippy cup, she does it! She is such a good snuggler. She still wakes me up in the middle of the night to nurse. (I have to break that habit!) She went to sleep tonight on her own in her crib, after specifically wanting her daddy to hold her. That means this was the first night she went to bed without nursing first.
Lily wore black to her ballet class today. Just one month ago, everything she wore had to be pink or purple. Of course, the black leotard has sparkles on it, which makes it fun. She still loves to wear dresses, and fortunately has adapted to wearing tights or leggings in the cold weather. Lily still loves to “schnuggle” with Mommy. She gets us up in the middle of the night to go potty. She finally learned how to pedal her tricycle this summer! Here, she is typing “words,” in pink, on the computer. 
Research Opportunities
I wanted to post about these two studies sooner, but now is better than never, I suppose! If you are breast feeding and need to have a biopsy, this study would like to hear from you: breastfeeding and expecting a biopsy?
I signed up for the Army of Women on this site: http://www.armyofwomen.org/. The only criteria: being a woman! I know so many women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer or know someone with breast cancer. I bet you do, too. Dr. Susan Love, who wrote the Breast Book I blogged about in Choosing a Mastectomy, is one of the driving forces behind this research. Don’t be shy! Sign up now!
