This and That

Just in case you live under a rock and have not heard about Ebates - you definately should check it out! Go HERE ... Definately worth it!

This past Friday I was living under a rock - or taking my 6 month old baby to the doctors for her check-up and was consumed by all things baby, only to find out about the horrific events from my husband that evening. I cannot imagine the pain and suffering these parents, siblings and loved ones are going through. I pray that they are able to find some peace in the out pouring of love and support that is wrapping around this community. I held baby SUPER tight all weekend! I pray to God every single night that I never have to endure this type of pain and suffering. I pray that my child never has to endure this type of pain and suffering, to witness these types of events first hand!

I am looking forward to the Christmas season but I am also semi-sad as well. I am not going to be able to spend it with my family, and it breaks my heart that my mom and dad won't be able to witness their granddaughter open her first gifts and enjoy the magic that is Christmas! (First hand, since Skype will be on Christmas morning! :) )

Baptism planning is underway! I kept putting this event off - well not off but trying to schedule it so all those that love her can be there to experience this sacred event! I cannot wait to bless this baby girl, that we love oh so much! I will be sure to post pictures and a little re-cap! Hopefully she isnt so opinionated about who is holding her to allow Father to annoint her. She definately has her own mind and has since day one! She must get that from her father :)

I hope everyone has a wonderful, safe and joyous holiday. I may be back before then but with all that is left to do it isnt guarenteed!

So What! Wednesday

This week I am saying so what if:

• I am so ready for it to be regular days and nights (as in no holiday stuff to do). I mean I LOVE the holidays, but I feel like I am missing out on day to day stuff, and the extra baby snuggles
• I am so sad my baby is growing up. I love love love her just as she is. I know I will love her in every stage but the baby one seems to go SO fast and I am already missing the younger days.
• I bought TWO pairs of tall brown boots -
• I am pissed that I havent gotten EITHER pair (both are discontinued) GRRR... On to buy #3.
• I LOVE giving gifts, I love getting gifts (mostly). I hate to get gifts from certain people b.c I feel like they are just buying to buy and dont really BUY for me. I always buy for each person.
• I think I am one of the only few I know that enjoy wrapping:)
• I am eating like a horse! If I dont have food I feel like I would eat my own toe I get that hungry - I blame it on nursing.
• I havent gotten on a scale b.c I am sure it would upset me (I'll deal with it AFTER the holidays).
• I MISS running like a LOT but can NOT get motivated to actually RUN...
• I am pretty infactuated with my child - It's B.A.D. and I dont give care!
