Sometimes there are just so many thoughts running through yuor head you need to write them down. That is how I feel right now. Kira has a fever and has a rash on her body. I think she is teething, so that is the reason for the fever, and I thought the rash was a heat rash, but today it doubled so I called the doc and she has an appointment tomorrow. I will keep you updated.
Arik got to go on a fire. Those of you that know him know that he loves that and this is his first fire since Brookelyn was born. I am so excited for him. I now that he is okay and will take care of himself.
Today Brookelyn wanted to go swimming so we set up the pool and went outside. Kira did not want in, a big sign that she is really not feeling good. So after Brookelyn had her share of swimming we went inside. Kira had fallen asleep in my arms. I love when they do that. Both of my girls are not very cuddly. they could never sleep if we were holding them. It was great at home but awful at church when they are tired. Anyways, I put Kira down at 5. Brookelyn was adamit that she was not tired but wanted to watch a movie. So I got her pillow and blanket and she laied on the couch to watch her movie. Not even ten minutes into it she was asleep. So now it is almost ten oclock and they are both still asleep. I have checked and they are both still breathing. During their nap I read a 200 page book. Yep, a whole book from start to finish.
On Friday my little baby girl will be one. She really isn't a baby anymore. She does everything her big sister does. She hates baby food and is now off formula. She talks a little and uses her hands to say a lot. Not sign language but she talks well with her hands. I look at her and I can see what she will look like in a few years. Maybe that is a mom thing. I love her so very much.
When Brookelyn was born she gave us a scare at birth, not breathing. (CPR for 15 minutes). Kira gave us a scare a couple weeks later and then a couple months after that. Kira has a low oxygen intake, it is a constant. When she was 2 weeks old in the hospital the machanie beeped all night long. A couple months later she was wheezing and we took her in. She had to be put on oxygen for a few days.
I often look at my girls and think that I don't know how I lived without them. For the past three years I have had a little girl look to me for everything to survive. It is a very scary thought and yet the greatest, most exhilarating thing that has ever happened to me. I love being a mom and I am so very grateful that I have been intrusted with these two girls. Hopefully some day I can have that little boy but if that does not happen then, it is okay because i will take girls.
I know I am rambling. I just love my girls so much. Life is great and I hope that the future is just as good as the first quater of my life has been.

It's amazing how a little girl can change your life. Mylah has given us a few scares (not as scary as your girls!!) but I can't imagine life without her. Thanks for reminding me of how precious they are!
Children are such a joy, they give you scares... and yet they bring the greatest of all joys! What a great post!
You are such a great mom and a great person to be friends with. You are also going to do just fine being a teacher, just make sure you lay down the law the first few days and then you can ease up and have fun with them. But let me know if you need any help at all.
I'm so glad you dont care if arik goes on fires. I think i would be to nervous. Yea for little girls. Happy Birthday to Kira. My boys will make a cute couple with them!
