Tell Lauren that there's a crazy but knowledgeable mommy who lives in WI, and she thinks Lauren couldn't be more beautiful! Love your site, btw. All we can do is work as hard and creatively as we can to help them appreciate their differences and unique gifts, and then be there to comfort and hold and comfort them when they need it, right?

And Lauren is in line for so much more. Kids are cruel at the best of times and she's going to have it coming from all directions being tiny, wide eyes, funny ears... sigh. We've got a couple years to go and already I'm heartbroken with the state of the world as it relates to my kids. Let's hope they're more resilient than we are.

I do remember having a sixth grader and being told the nasty news of breast cancer. I would have walked from Wisconsin to California if I could have been assured of seeing my youngest graduate from high school. Stay vigilant--seek a second opinion if you are still concerned. Need anything--call!! I agree with Donna–boobs are overrated. I do remember having a sixth grader and being told the nasty news of breast cancer.

My little angel is not affected at all right now by not being like th eother kids- much to my dismay - I was hoping that you don't want to be the stinky kid would get her into the bath .... but alas no. On the booby front, I am glad to hear the bullet has been dodged this time and hope for many more successful visits to the OB. So much to comment on and so little time.

The thing is that I never thought I'd feel so weird about it, but as the prospect became closer to reality this "scare" around, the concept of chopping off part of my body affected me far more than I expected. If it's my chest or my kids, there's no question what I would chose, but it suddenly didn't feel as unimportant as I thought it would. Oh, and thanks so much for stopping by! :) Hi Ruth – Yep, I completely agree.

I'm all for saving the tatas, but if my day comes, I'll gladly give them away (as scary of a concept that is to me) to be able to watch my girls live their adult lives.
