Poor baby...

So my little angel is weirdly sick. I understand weirdly is not a word, but it is today! I think with ALL the rain we've had lately and the beginning of school the allergies and the viruses are CRAZY. She has so much congestion it's ridiculous. SO it makes her cough and then gag and then throw up. I was wearing my third shirt by 8 am and we woke up at 6:30. She is sleeping peacefully now. I really should be cleaning my SUPER messy house but I would rather write this little note. Even though she's a little under the weather she is still in such a good mood. She really is a good baby. I know I'm a little biased but I see lots of babies at my office to compare.

I really love being a mommy. Life would not be complete without Marie. I find myself just looking at her and staring at how beautiful she is becoming. I can not wait until she starts walking. I love to watch her discover new things and I know it's going to be a blast once she starts walking. Brad and I are gonna have to get her some good boots so I feel comfortable with her walking in the yard.

Where did the time go?

Well in 2 days my child will be 7 months old. I seriously can't believe she's closer to 1 year than her actual birth. That little turd is crawling ALL over the place and pulls herself up on practically all of the furniture and her toys. She can manage to "cruise" around some of her toys on foot but not very well just yet. I bet she's walking within the next month.

It's been very interesting these last couple of months. Brad's been out of town lots and my boss went on a vacation for about 2 1/2 weeks. SOOO it's been busy busy around the McDaniel household. There were many times I wanted to look in the mirror and see if superwoman was written on my forehead. When I did my first triathlon I thought "Hell if I can do this I can do anything." But now I say if I can manage to work full time and take care of a child by myself (with the help of daycare) then I can do anything. That's been a real test.

SO I do plan on completing my 3rd triathlon in May which will be in Florida. I'm pretty excited. I actually recruited some of my high school friends to join me...haha. I laugh because they may not like me very much after this thing. It's tough and I'm sure I'll be tortured myself.

On a sad note I found out my OB/GYN committed suicide this weekend. He was the doctor who delivered Marie. I wish I had told him how wonderful a doctor he was. There were sooo many times I wanted to ask him if he planned on working for a while because I was sticking with him until he retired. Suicide is so confusing for me. I can't ever believe someone could ever be so selfish to do that, but then how will anyone EVER know how they feel inside. The last time I saw him he actually gave me a hug before he said goodbye and he NEVER does that. I wish someone close to him had seen some signs. I have had a heavy heart since I got the news. Sorry to end the blog on such a sad note. I must remember life does go on. RIP Dr. Hagar.
