I was so excited to start my long over due spring break. It has been the best week in a long time. I believe that the main reason for this was a step back in the right direction. I have struggled with demons for several months. I still have trouble getting past the loss of my first child and the difficulties in having another. I have accepted that it was God's will, but I still have my days. On Easter Sunday, I went to church and was so blessed. I really enjoyed the message I heard and I felt so refreshed. My spirit felt so much better. I know this is what has made me have a great week.
The second reason for such a good week is that I have spent some quality time with the most precious little girl, Melanie. She has been so wonderful. We have played tea party, colored, went to the park, played outside with the neighbors, and so much more.
The only bad part to my week was taking Mel to the doctor for her 2 year well baby check up. She weighs 23.4 pounds and is 33 1/2 inches long. These are both in the 10th percentile which is very small but in my eyes nothing but perfection. I was given the opportunity to brag on all her achievements and milestones. The nurse was quite impressed on her vocabulary. She sounds so much like a miniature adult. She received her 2nd hepatitis A vaccine and will not have to have another vaccination until she is four, at which time Josh will take her. When the two nurses walked in Melanie began crying hysterically and knew what was about to take place. She squirmed, but finally took the shot and was consoled by me. I hate to watch her in agony. If I knew these shots were not going to improve/maintain her health I know I would be against them. After the doctor's visit we went shopping, Melanie's favorite thing to do! She was allowed to buy a toy for being such a brave girl.
I am so happy that I have had such a great week and I am counting the days until school is out and I can spend more time with my wonderful daughter and sweet husband. Until then I will teach my heart out and continue to grow spiritually towards God's plan for me!
Until I write again, here are a few pictures of my beautiful daughter on Easter!!!!
