Life's a Breeze: Please don't tell me your sorry

Please don't tell me your sorry

One of the most important things for Breeze is that we always stay positive about her PKU. Sure we may all struggle with it at some point, but we should never let her see or hear anything negative about it. She's is unique, not weird. Her food is special, not strange. When someone says," I'm diabetic" do you tell them your sorry? No. So please don't tell us or her that you are sorry either. PKU is nothing to be sorry about, it is just a different way of eating. That's it.

Breeze is a very happy and healthy baby, not to mention CUTE!

A few good Quotes:

I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you can appreciate them when they're right, you believe less so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.- Marilyn Monroe

"Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. So love the people who treat you right, forget the ones who dont and believe everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance take it, if it changes your life let it. Nobody said it would be easy,they just promised it would be worth it."

'Dance like nobodies watching, Sing like nobodies listening, Love like you have never been hurt, Learn like you're going to live forever, Lead yourself as if everyone was following you, Give like your life depended on it and Live like you were dying tomorrow! "

About Us

We are the happy family of three plus two dogs. Adam and I have been married going on eight years! Hard to believe. We decided to wait to have children, we played hard and enjoyed our dogs. So when we finally got around to try to have kids we had some difficulty, but finally with a little help, last year we had a daughter, Breeze Marie Porter. She has been the most wonderful addition to our lives. There is no other word to describe her but delightful. She has been a good baby since day one. I think that my step sister Kelly summed it up nicely when she said that "God give the happiest babies to those who will have other difficulties to deal with".

Our difficulty came to us in the second week of Breeze's life. We found out she has PKU. So in addition to adjusting to being new parents we also had to learn about this rare genetic disorder that we gave our child. I had to use the pump I had no intentions of using unless I had a night out with the girls and I had to learn about the millions of bottles and nipples out there that had no resemblance of my boob what so ever. The hardest part was I had to take Breeze off my breast and give her a bottle, with hopes she would come back. Needless to say that week was hell. Thank goodness for grandparents and we had two sets here. We all had Bottle Use 101 in our kitchen and learned a few things the hard way. Like do not open all the packages of different bottles at once and expect to get them back together, just throw away and start over. Do not boil the nipples for too long, they will not work properly. Do not trust your bottle warmer, it will make the milk wayyyyy to hot. I'm still trying to find the humor in the remark about my resemblance to a milking cow while double pumping(thank goodness for the pumping bra!) But all you can do when life throws you a curve ball is have a good cry, or maybe a few, throw a temporary pity party, have a drink, or maybe a few and get on with it. There is nothing in life that is going to keep this family down.

Note to self- If today sucks, there is always tomorrow.
