My best post so far!

So, I'm sitting at work charting on a patient early Friday afternoon when my Ohio attorney calls me to say, "Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas!" I answer, "I hope you have a wonderful holiday, too." Then she says, "Wait, I have more news for you. Eric's the father." I say, "What?" "Really?" and start to cry. How's that for a response? I was just so worried about there being any chance of losing Mishayla that it came as a HUGE relief. Eric did end up being tested on Dec. 18 after he found out that he would not have to know the results. The lab faxed Nancy (Ohio attorney) the results on Friday. I had nearly given up on him being tested and was afraid I would have to wait for Rodwrick to have a DNA test proving he was NOT the father. Anyway, I'm very, very happy, relieved, destressed, etc. My WA attorney sent me a copy of the DNA test results which I am considering having framed. (Just kidding!) His e-mail to me had one word - "Yahooo." He later left me a phone message saying he'd moved my file to the "Easy to Be Completed" pile. This is certainly good news for Mishayla's college fund (among other things!) I apologize for not posting this wonderful news earlier, but I left for MT yesterday immediately following work. We spent the night with some friends in Spokane (Thanks Kent and Julie!), and ventured the rest of the way to my parent's place today. It was a safe trip with good roads. Wish I could say the same for my sister, Wendy, but she and Blaine left this morning and ran into bad roads all the way. They were planning to stop and come the rest of the way tomorrow. We will be able to go to Twin Bridges special meeting in the morning and must get up pretty early. I can hardly remember the last time that I was home to MT in time for a special meeting. I'm really looking forward to it. My mom (Gma!) has it all worked out. She says that she will take Mishayla, Gpa will take Melania, and I will just have to sit and listen. We'll see... Caroline is here with us as well. She misses her mom, but I think she will get caught up in playing the kids pretty quickly. Thanks to everyone for your kind thoughts and prayers, and I will post more pictures soon. I promise... (I forgot my camera battery charger at home, so I'll have to borrow while I am here).
