I thought I could blog every day...or nearly. But. I can't hold time and I couldn't keep up. What a busy month April was!
April came and went after Abigael made some progress developmentally, completion of physical therapy, downsizing at work (thank God my name was taken OFF the list!), and a two week stretch ailments of one sort or another my little Abigael had to fight off.
I did get ONE night out on the town and it was an absolute riot. Anita Renfroe has inspired me to laugh.
I was greatly encouraged and I celebrated (a bit prematurely) a "pregnancy"...thought my baby had a doctor and a hospital...turns out that the "baby" is there...but a heartbeat can't be detected. There is still hope...
Abigael is cutting her two front teeth. They feel like razor blades coming through her gums. Poor girl. She's such a trooper. She has daily breathing treatments twice and every three hours when she is sick. We learned she has extreme allergies as well - NO CATS! Abigael is very scared of dogs...we're working on that! She officially started crawling on April 22, two days before her 10 month birthday. Like her mama, she was motivated by food.
Noam moved up one class in daycare - officially considered "pre-school". He's been several months diaper free even through the night. He's had a difficult month with a sudden new interest in the male figure known as "daddy". He talks often of this person and cries out often for him...or stands at the front window waiting for him to appear. That said, he wants Abigael's doctor to be his daddy - he even offered him the job. When the kind doctor declined, Noam offered him my credit card.
Tomorrow I speak in front of over 100 at my church - sharing the story of Abigael and how the Lord revealed his glory through a trial. Remember...you can't stand on promises if you don't know what they are!
(I'm sure you know Abigael's story by now, but if you don't - let me know or come to the Mother Daughter banquet tomorrow night!)`
