Daddy Daughter Dance

This Friday Gabby and Michael went to Gabby's first dance. The Daddy Daughter Dance was put on by the Girl Scouts. I ran Escape Artist while Michael took Gabby on a "date" and then to the dance. Gabby got all dolled up and Daddy wore a tie because Gabby insisted. They went to Gabby's favorite restaurant, Texas Roadhouse, and then they headed to the dance. They had a lot of fun. Michael said they danced, and ate, and Gabby even led a cha-cha line for a while. Gabby knows how to party and her and Daddy enjoyed the night of fun. The good news is, I managed to keep the business open and it ran smoothly thanks to the employees until I got to hand it back over to Michael a few hours after opening. Gabby is already for next year's dance. I am so glad that she has the chance so young to learn how a lady should be treated. Gabby is so lucky to have an amazing Daddy who lives for her.

Those curls!

Sacrafices for My Angel

Everyone knows that being a parent is full of sacrifices and some are more difficult than others. So far being a Mom I have "sacrificed" my skin thanks to stretch marks, my youthfulness, thanks to the worries that cause the new wrinkles I notice weekly, my pretty legs thanks to the varicose veins I received during pregnancy that never went away, the comfort of sitting thanks to the back pain I have had ever since pregnancy, a good night’s sleep, and the list goes on... However, none of these things truly feel like a sacrifice (although I do miss sleep and my non-damaged body) they are just part of being a mommy and I wouldn't trade parenthood for anything! Today, however, a very difficult sacrifice was made, although I know it was the only choice. Ranger, the dog Michael and I had for 7 ½ years, was given to a new home today. He bit Gabby on her head when she was about 9 months old and then about a week ago he nipped at her and unfortunately that was the last straw. M

Interesting Fact

Today I went to the doctor for my now bi-weekly appointment. This is only the second time he has gotten out a measuring tape and measured my engorged stomach. My boss was talking about how interesting it is when they measure you...so I asked my doctor about it today and it's true! Whenever you are in your 20 something week and further along until very close to the end of pregnancy the number of centimeters from your pelvic bone to the top of your uterus should approximately be the same as the number of weeks pregnant you are. This week I was 28 centimeters and I am 28 weeks! So Gabrielle is right on schedule.

It All Started with a Little Skittle...
