Chapter 17 ( A Million Bucks )

Chapter 17 ( A Million Bucks )

Wow...... I can't believe the summer has come and gone so quickly! I have been shut up in the house for most of the summer with our sweet baby girl. We wanted to keep her in until she got her shots.


Well..... She had her 2 month shots today, even though she is now 3 1/2 months old, but should really only be about 3 weeks. (Confusing, right? ) Her check-up went wonderfully!!! Her heart and lungs sounded great and she weighed in at 9lbs. 15.6 ounces!!!! Can you believe how chubby she is? We are so proud. I vow I will never let her go on a diet! Too many people have prayed for every little roll that sweet girl has :) She was on the growth chart for weight, and she measured in at 21 inches long. Her motor skills are ahead of schedule. She is doing her best to try and turn over. Our tough cookie only cried a little when she got her 3 shots in her little legs. The icing on the cake to the whole checkup.....Dr. telling us, "She looks like a million bucks! "

We are so thankful to hear those sweet words. We know that so many people have been lifting her up in prayer. We will never be able to thank everyone enough for all the gifts, cards, calls, visits, and prayers they have extended to our family over the past few months.

Now that we have received a clean bill of health, we will be able to get out of the house a little more. Perfect timing, since I will be returning to work tomorrow. What a wonderful summer break we had! Before this year the perfect summer consisted of at least one spa vacation and lots of visits to the beach. Well, I haven't been soaking in the sun once this year, in fact I think I have only been out of the house a handful of times.  I can't remember the last time I had a massage or facial. I don't have a glowing tan, I don't even look well rested. The bags under my eyes are real, but so is my smile. This has been the perfect summer.

More updates soon.........
