A story that has touched my heart

Today I read the story about the cutest little baby boy named "Stellan".
I am forever touched by this little guys story. We can learn a lot from this little guy. He is a fighter and has captured the hearts of many, many well wishers. A story like his makes me so very thankful for my healthy baby girl. I am truly blessed. I will pray with all my heart for Stellan and I will continue to follow his story with the hopes that he will stay strong and keep fighting. I do not know Stellan or any of his family but I wish them all the best and I will pray for them to have strength and togetherness throughout their journey in life.

A truly blessed Easter

This year was the best Easter yet. We celebrated Zoe's first Easter. She looked precious in her little Easter dress, Kristi thank your friend for me who did the monogramming, the dress was precious. We didn't get to hunt Easter eggs this year as it was very windy and we don't want any more ear infections but next year watch out!! We played with plastic eggs though and had a blast. We went to church with Me Me and Pop and then spent the rest of the day with Aunt Kee Kee, Uncle Scott, cousins Justin, Jessica and Maddy. It was a wonderful day!! We are very blessed and fortunate to have such beautfiul weather and to have such wonderful company to spend the day with.

Oh how time flies when you are having fun....

Wow, Zoe is 8 months old today....that means in 4 months she will be a year old. Where has the time gone? Just yesterday, I was leaving her at daycare for the first time and having a horrible time doing it.

It is time to start planning her birthday party, which I have been secretly doing for months now. Crazy!!

I survived as I knew I would

Well we are back from our first trip away from Zoe and just as I knew deep down I would, I survived. We had a really good time with my crazy sister and the rest of the crew. I missed my baby terribly but got a reality check when we got back from our trip to pick her up....she didn't miss us!! I think she knows our voices but I am pretty sure she doesn't recognize us yet.

My parents had a ball with her and I am so gratefull that they allowed Bryan and I to have a "us" weekend.

Ok am I silly or what.....

So we are traveling to Biloxi Mississippi tomorrow for the weekend to celebrate my sister's birthday. Tomorrow is also the day that is predicted to have the most potential for tornados. The storms are coming from Mississippi through Alabama and Georgia so we will be traveling right into the storms. I am not liking this fact in the least bit. We will have baby girl with us until we reach Alabama, here we will leave her for the weekend with my parents. This is also super hard because it will be my first time without her. I am super stressed.....Argh!!

Broken Hearted

My baby girl got her first boo boo yesterday. Zoe fell over from the sitting position at daycare and hit her eye on her bottle that she had thrown on the floor in front of her. I did good though, I didn't cry in front of her....yep, I held it together...until she fell asleep on the ride home, then I let the waterfalls begin. I know she is going to have many, many boo boos and hopefully with each boo boo, my heart will relax a little and my brain can process that I can't always be there to protect her. Does the aching in the heart ever go away though???
