    On June 12, we had a new baby girl, our third girl!  She is healthy, happy, and most importantly she is a fanatastic sleeper!  The birth was very very easy and went well.  Derek had his first ipi injection the day before I was induced, he wasn't sure how he would do at the hospital, emotionally and physically, instead my sister came with me and quite honestly it was probably the most relaxing time I have had in a long time, they were unable to induce me until the next day and so we spent a quiet day in a private room and slept and talked and slept.

    As some of you may remember I had an awful time when I found out I was pregnant and Derek, feeling as though the end was very close, also has had a difficult time accepting that there would be a third child he may not see grow up, many of you responded to my emotional posts of what to do with wonderful words that I printed off the computer and kept with me for a long time.  While, she finally arrived and Derek is taken with her, he is still emotional and struggles obivously, but he thinks she is adorable. 

    He has his third ipi injection a week wednesday.  He has been tired, headaches, and some flu like symptoms, but that is all.  I am crossing my fingers it works. 

    Thinking of everyone who is here and dealing with melanoma.
