No more throw up!! Hooray! The little one is feeling better. She's not entirely back to her old self, but she's not puking and that's DEFINATELY a good thing!
Low Point:
Realizing how fortunate I am that my worries are so trivial in the grand scheme of life. The woman giving out samples of Danish pastry today at Costco began talking to me about children and how they change our lives etc. And boy do they! But she asked if I knew the gender of our coming baby, to which I told her it's a girl. I went on further to say that my husband would soon be drowning in the sea of Disney Princess before he knew it. The woman smiled and reminded me that having a healthy baby is what is most important. This I do know and count my blessings every day for. She explained to me that her son, who is now 21, is about to go in for his third open heart surgery - heart valve replacement. I felt about as small as the tiny sampler of pastry she was handing out. I couldn't imagine the stress and worry of having to have your child go through one open heart surgery, let alone multiple open heart surgeries. And there I was, albeit jokingly, worried about the onslaught of Disney Princess balogna that my future held.
~*~*~*~Wishing the best for that family and that the open heart surgery goes over without a hitch.~*~*~*~

You know, I'm the same way. I think I have all these little "problems", and then I see someone who has it so much worse and I feel so trivial. Stories like this just put everything into perspective.
Happy No Puke Day to you!
I agree ~ it's so easy to get caught up in our problems & when we look back, they aren't that bad at all.
