4 years old

This past week Abigail turned 4. She had talked about her birthday almost every day since last year! She looked forward to the cupcakes and presents and friends. We had a small friend party for her at the park on Labor Day and just spent the day together as a family on her real b.day. She got her presents and cupcakes and even a new pink scooter! Yet, she seemed somewhat subdued on her actual b.day. Almost sad even. She kept asking...is it still my birthday?? The next day she was back to her normal self and excited about the crepe paper streamers we hung in the doorway and her balloons...and started talking about turning 5 ( a whole hand mommy)!
My thoughts...the anticipation usually is much more exciting than the actual thing :)

We Survived

Thanks to you all for suggestions and prayers! We did survive :) I kept repeating to myself...that this will pass and also just the first line of Psalm 16...Preserve me O God, for in you I take refuge.

I took Grace to her 1 mo. Doctor visit the past week...she grew 3 inches!! and gained 3 pounds!!!! in just 1 month. No wonder she cried (well, screamed through the whole Dr. appt.). One thing we are trying now is to restrict my dairy intake and see if it helps her fussiness after feeding times.

Thanks again!!
