Week Thirty

Darling girl I am already hideously behind again with this baby book.  It is not all my fault.  At this moment you are on a nap strike screaming your head off in your crib at noon.  You have not napped yet today, this is bad, bad, bad.  You are beyond tired and will not settle.  Your father has hid the teething tablets and is at work.  I am a tired Mama.  I just got up to find the teething tablets and once I found them you have stopped crying... Just one of those days, precious to me, but exhausting.

Back to week thirty.  You were cutting your third tooth and you were sleeping poorly and we had no idea why, then it appeared - your upper left lateral incisor.  I had thought that you would have gotten a central incisor next, but you like to keep me on my toes.  We made a donation in your sister's name at Cardon Children's Hospital.  You watched the train display they have there.  Then we stopped at the MCC Rose Garden and took some pictures.  My beautiful Rose with the other beautiful roses.  I hope that these donations become as special to you as they are to us.  Remembering your sister Grace in any way is so important.  I just wish that she could have met you.  I know that she would have been an amazing big sister.

I was so excited for your first Christmas!  You must have been as well since you refused to sleep and we were up in the living room at midnight!  Let's not make that a tradition!
