7 Month Update

I love being her mommy. Sad to say that I didn't realize I enjoyed motherhood until I was back at work full-time. It's busy & hectic at times, but I wouldn't trade it for anything. Especially when you come home to smiles like this one.
Presently she's recovering from roseola (high fever, vomiting, all-over rash). It is really sad caring for a sick infant. I watched my normally energetic, independent baby turn into a lethargic, clingy one. And instead of crying/whining [on Day 1 of being sick], she cried out "umma umma" all day. It was sad, but exciting at the same time.
Waiting at urgent care
Another weird/positive thing that came out of baby being sick? Joey was home on a Saturday. (Thank you church for loaning daddy to us on Sabbath. We really needed him.) Joey didn't know what to do with himself, because he usually has plans/meetings/dinners or we have people over almost every week. It hit me that we hadn't spent a Sabbath alone together since 2007 in Andrews. I know it may another 3 years before we get to spend Sabbath together as a family, but I was thankful that even a sick baby could bring about something good.
