Dying mom keeps online diary for baby

LIVING REPORTER

Natalia Ritchie is utterly pragmatic about illness and death. Even if she gets new lungs, she will be dead before her daughter is in her 20s.
One goal of the blog is to help Scarlett understand why her mortally ill mother would go ahead and have a child.
"We have to have that information and prepare her," Ritchie says, "to make sure she knows how she got here, how badly we wanted her and how much we love her.
``She'll be able to say she had the best Mom in the world and it all didn't matter – the fact that it had to happen the way it did."
