Summer Colds

The last few days I have been suffering from a real nasty summer cold/sinus infection. I started taking some old antibiotics that we had in the cabinet and I'm starting to feel better. Grace has had a fever the last two nights. Monday night she fell asleep in my arms in the rocking chair at 6:30 then woke up at 9:30 drenched in sweat burning up. I brought her in my room and rocked her and she ended up falling asleep in between Jamie and I. We never let Grace sleep in our room so anytime she does we kinda enjoy having her in there. Not that I wanted Grace to be feeling bad, but I love how she wanted to be held and loved on. She has always been so hyper and never stays in one place longer than two seconds so I enjoy having her in my arms. When she is sleeping in my arms and I can feel her heart beat and hear her little breaths all is well in the world- it is Heaven!!!

We bought her a potty chair yesterday and we hope maybe that will get her excited about potty training. We have been working with her, but she hasn't went on the potty yet. Jamie takes her in the bathroom and sits her on the toilet and it melts my heart that he is such a good daddy to her. She loves him to pieces and the feeling is mutual because he eats it up. She is definitely a daddy's girl but that is okay because it makes me love my husband even more.

I have been starting to plan Grace's birthday party. I can't believe that she is going to be two. It makes me sick to think of how fast time flies. It seems like yesterday that I was pregnant dreaming about what it was going to be like to have a child and be a mother. We want to throw her a great party because we want to celebrate her life. She brings so much joy to our life!!!! So far this is what we have planned- We are doing a cupcake theme party for her. I am going to have tons of pretty cupcakes, Spaghetti's to eat, and some games.
