Still my Baby!

I have a most wonderful oldest daughter. She has a great sense of humor. We had an appointment with the doctor. While there the power went out...of course lights and all. Sweet dr. that she is, she took us into another exam room where there was a window and lots of natural light. Knowing my family and the humor we bestow on her almost monthly she asked dear daughter if she would please hop on up on the baby table. Easier for the doctor to do her thing. Dear sweet daughter did. She found the humor in it all. Rolled her eyes at her mother for taking pictures. She even smiled for the last picture. She's still me baby and I have the picture to prove it!

Birthday - update

So, while I couldn't sleep cause I was so miserable I laid in bed and prayed for God's healing hand on her. This morning we woke her and she was feeling better. Thank you Lord. She was well enough to babysit. Momma on the other hand was not feeling any better. A trip to the dr told the story. Not as bad as in previous visits but still impressive. Dr. says I should win a $1,000 for the vast improvement I exhibited. I have a horrible history of sinus and allergies problems. The past 4 or 5 years allergy season meant inhalers, steroids and confinement in my home from March till first freeze. Thanks to allergy shots this year I have been out and loving it till last night. No pain, just fever and chills. In the course of the last 4 or 5 years I have developed an inability to feel the pain associated with sinus/allergy issues. So today, I learned I had perforated one ear drum, had an ear infection in the other and a pretty sinus infection. So today's been a quiet, lazy day for all of us. Abigail has seemed to be content with that in spite of it all. A package in the mail, several cards and gifts from family. We will celebrate in a week and a half with extended family.

Happy Birthday A!

Less than an hour ago my sweet eldest turned 13.
Here we are both of us awake at the same early hour ~ Sick!
To think 13 years ago, we were awake because of her blessed entry into this world.
Her thoughts about today ~ This stinks!
My thoughts ~ She is right.
So maybe in a day or two we will pretend it is her birthday and do the happy, happy 13th birthday posts.

2 days and 1 hour-ish till someone's birthday!

Sweet 13 ~ Here she comes!
I can hardly believe I am going to be the mom of a teenager!
