It has been over a week since I have written on here. I am not sure why I am slacking in the blog entry department, but I guess being busy has a lot to do with it.
So, here is a quick update on life - It is almost March, which means it is almost Olivia's 1st Birthday. I thought Addalyn's 1st year of life went fast, but Olivia's went much faster. She may be walking around and learning new things daily, but that little booger doesn't look anywhere near 1 years old. She's my little shorty and about the sweetest kid in the world. But, I'll leave all that for her Birthday post =)
I finally got a Kindle. I've been debating for a long time whether I wanted one. I thought I'd miss holding a book, but after having the Kindle for 5 minutes I realized I should have gotten one a long time ago. It is fantastic! My reading addiction just got a whole lot worse.
The Academy Awards are on tonight which I am excited for, although I am anticipating my Sunday headache so I may not be able to watch. I am not sure why my headaches are back in full force and taking over my Sundays, but here's to hoping they give me a break this week.
And on a deeper note, I'd like to share my feelings on something that has really weighed heavily on my heart lately. It seems as if I have come across so many stories of little babies fighting for their lives. I know children are faced with these obstacles every single day, but over the past few months my FB newsfeed seems to be filled with children and their parents needing prayers and it breaks my heart.
I can't speak for everyone, but I know that I take having 2 healthy children for granted. I feel guilty for wishing for early bedtimes and long naps and a few minutes of "playing nice" together so I can get things done. I am sure all of these parents who are spending their time in the hospital would love to stay up late rocking their baby or could be "wasting" their day playing with a healthy child.
I cant imagine what a parent would feel like going through such a scary situation. It absolutely breaks my heart and I hate that it takes little doses of reality like this to make me fully appreciate how lucky we are to have healthy babies. I will continue praying for all of these children and their parents and I plan to say an extra prayer for all of those families whose stories I haven't heard. I can't pay for their medical bills or take their worry away, but I can pray.
Sincerely Yours,
