The first of March

Can you believe it is already March?
Crazy weather always happens in late February early March.
We live in such a crazy place...not even a drop of snow, yet school was cancelled today!

This past weekend I had to work three days straight and it stunk!
Work was slow so that made the time go by even slower...TICK....TOCK

Working in a children's hospital is bittersweet.
It makes me go home everyday and kiss my little girl and thank God for her health.

I can't imagine what some of these families go through.
The pain.
The stress.
The unknown.
The heartache.
The questioning of their faith.
The feeling of loss.
The sadness of holding your child for the FIRST time...after you have stopped all medical support.

I am so thankful for a healthy baby.
Her sweet little hands.
Her long little toes.
Her tiny little ears.
Her cute little rolls on her inner thigh.
Her unique little personality.
Her trust in me to take perfect care of her each and every day.
I love her so much and trust God to guide me in how to raise her to be a Christian little girl.

I love my job and yes it is rewarding but often times sad. As you can probably tell we lost a baby this weekend after 22 days. I was only there for part of the time but I can only imagine the pain and heartache that the parents and family must be feeling. My Prayers are with them today, tomorrow, and always.

I found it really ironic that after the loss yesterday I get home to watch Home Makeover and it was about a lady who does photography of premature babies. This is such a trying time for these families and she does this so that they have memories that they can hold on to for a lifetime whether the child makes it or not. I can not imagine what these families go through but through her generosity she helps capture the smallest little babies pictures for their families.

Everyone has such a sweet and special place in this world and how anyone can not believe in GOD I just don't know.
