A weird week. So on Monday Laurana got a taste of Peanut butter, in a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. This is early for the baby girl. since youa re supposed to wait til 3 years old, or at least 2. she had an allergic reaction. broke out in hives on her face. some benadryl and she was okay. she seemed okay afterward, they are going to have an allergy doctor check her out and see what happens. they said getting it early may or may not make her allergies worse. we are not supposed to give her anything with peanuts in them till she is 3 now, and we have to work with teh allergy dr. on it. I will keep ya'll posted. In other news.. she is adorable. here are her mother's day pictures.

So it is mother's day. And for the first time I feel like a mother. being a mother is everything that I imagined it would be. There are days when I am on cloud nine, I watch her laugh and play and know that nothing could be better. there are days where she is cranky and I feel like screaming. there are days when I am so worried about her I could just cry. and there are days that I can't help but think of the future and all the joy and sorrows it will hold. I LOVE BEING A MOM!!!! I think I love being a mom, because I had such a good example. I had the best mother in the world. Sure she is the ticket agent for guilt trips, but she is also the strength when I am weak and tired, the voice of reason when I flip out a little, the smile I can turn to when I am down, she is the person I call at 2:00 am when my little bear is sick, she is the mom that I am trying so hard to be. If I coudl be half the mom that she ahs been I know that Laurana will turn out great. I thank God eve...

So first laurana started throwing up, then after she threw up on me, I started throwing up, and Grandpa started throwing up. Okay, Monday brad and I both stayed home me to take care of the baby, him becasue he had walking pnmoena and had to go to the dr for some meds and a check. Then tuesday we both went to work and baby went to granpas, where she got him sick. I came home from work and threw up. then on wed, brad went to work, but when at 9:30 I was throwing up, and the baby was throwing up in the tub next to me, and I couldn't help her cause I was throwing up, I called brad and told him to come home, I couldn't do it. Went to the Dr for her, said keep her hydrated and good luck. Thrusday brad is throwing up, and having the other end.. did I mention Laurana had diarrea through all this, so he stayed home. I did a half day then came home to take care of both of them. friday (the anniversary fo Hope's death) We ended up taking Laurana to the dr again, and they checked...
