There are so many little things in life that form a giant arrow to a neon sign, blinking "BLESSED." Last night was one of those moments. Both my babies are very sick. They got diagnosed with pneumonia on Tuesday, and although Joel sounds much better, poor Zoe sounds worse. They gave me steriods to give her, in addition to her antibiotic, and everytime we try to give it to her, she throws up everything in her stomach. Heart-wrenching.
Because of this, and the fact that my hubby is away, I've had to miss out on some pretty important events this weekend. Last night was a girl's night/surprise baby shower for a dear friend of mine. I was so sad to not be able to make it. About two hours after the party started, four of my friends (half of the party) showed up at my door with TWO plates of food - one savory, one sweet. (And, thank Jesus I got a warning text cause this Momma *may* have still been in her robe.) They brougt the party to me!! They stayed awhile, sipped some wine, and got me caught up on the reaction of the surprised Momma and all the fun games they played. Blessed. Now, tonight I'm missing the FIRST BIRTHDAY of the only other child (besides my own) that I've had the priviledge to be present for theirl labor/birth. I'm deeply saddened by this. Maybe they'll bring the farm-animaled theme party to me?? JK!! ;) (BTW, this is a really old picture... but it's too cute NOT to include!!)
