Slightly Under the Weather...

Last night, I started wondering if I was coming down with a cold. I drank some tea and decided not to set my alarm for my usual 6:45 so that I could sleep it off. I slept in a little but definitely felt yucky when I woke up. It's nothing major, but the sore throat, achiness, and slight cough is enough to keep me away from Abby for the better part of the day. I am going to stick around here, drink tea, take my vitamins (I take prenatals all of the time, along with DHA, vitamin D, calcium, and vitamin C!), write some thank you cards, and maybe catch a nap. I will meet Matt over at the hospital later on today, but won't go in without a mask. Better safe than sorry when it comes to my girl! Let's hope that this is a one day thing and not my typical asthmatic bronchitis-turned-pnemonia that I usually get around this time of year!

Praying for you Julie to be well soon! So sorry to hear you are not feeling good--we need you well-or rather your family needs you well!!:) It is going around big time- it's just this time of the year. Try and get some extra rest when able to give your body that extra boost it needs. You and your family are forever in my thoughts and prayers, and also want to tell you how wonderful your writing skills are. Love your posts-Sandy Murphy

I hope you did not catch it from me. I have tried hard to keep you and Abby far enough away. Hope you feel better.

Bath Time Photos!!

As promised, here are lots of photos of Abby's first bath. Caleb was supposed to be in bed, but the bathroom is right next to his room... "I'm not too sure about this..." Once she learned how to splash, she was all smiles! Her first good hair wash! Gotta protect the trach! She really liked getting water poured on her head. It was cute! Smiley (and bubbly) for Daddy while he dried her off. All clean!! (Note the Lysol wipes in that last picture. They are NEVER far away!)

Cerebrocostomandibular Syndrome

If you happen to pick up the latest Reader's Digest, there is an article in there about Piper Breinholt , a four year old with CCMS. If you've been around here a while, you'll remember wayyyyyy back when we first received Abby's diagnosis that I was able to speak to Piper's mom, Reagan. The article is more about their story and not as much about the ins and outs of CCMS, but I think it's probably enough to get some people googling it and I'm hoping a few will end up here. Every once in a while, I give a blog post the title of Cerebrocostomandibular Syndrome so that it would show up in Google. My ever-present hope is that people will stumble across my blog and 1) be encouraged by the hope we have in Christ, 2) feel a connection with someone in a similar situation as them, or 3) get excited over the miracles that have been performed in Abby's life!! (a combination of all 3 is great too!) :) Notice that it's not to get famous and it ...

Imagination Movers Photo Recap

Seriously, The Imagination Movers were so much fun! They played lots of their own music, with some classic rock mixed in for the adults. There were also quite a few jokes and references to Baltimore, which was kind of fun. The whole night centered around this robot named Rock-o-Matic, or "Rocko." This is Mover Scott, and he wears Wobble Goggles that help him see new ideas. Caleb and Abby have a pair of goggles too. :) There are 4 main Movers that are part of the TV show, but they have 2 extra movers to play instruments and do back-up vocals in their live tour. Abby finished up her feed before the show started so that she would be free to dance! My dancing queen did NOT want to sit in my lap. The row in front of us was empty, and that is where she stood almost the entire show--dancing the night away. My Imagination Movers Caleb did his share of singing and dancing too. He knows m...
