Have I mentioned lately how much I love my husband? Well...I do. He's truly the best husband and dad!! He is my rock. I had to call him during the football game last night to see how to stop Brooke's bloody nose. (He films, so it was ok to call him. Ha.) It donned on me how much I rely on him. Not only for my moral support and comfort but for his expertise and guidance in areas I lack. As a coach, he's seen lots of different kinds of injuries and I couldn't think of anyone better to ask for advice with this scenario than him. Of course, Brooke didn't take too kindly to me stuffing cotton up her nostil, but it did stop the bleeding after about 30 minutes. That was scary and unfortunately is a side effect of Coumadin.
Not sure what's gotten into me but I'm actually cooking today. Homemade chicken and dumplins, which I love. No one makes them as good as my great-grandmother, Granny Opal. I used to spent every Sunday at her house eating with her and Papa Giles. Those are great memories that I will always cherish. Not many kids get to grow up with two grandmothers, one grandfather, and a set of great-grandparents all within walking distance. I was blessed. In fact, when Brooke was born, she had 7 living grandmothers. She was a 5th generation which is priceless. Got the picture and everything!
Brooke didn't have a blood test done yesterday...the nurse will come Tuesday and Thursday of next week. Unfortunately, another several days of Lovenox shots. Ick. I was praying we would be done with those after yesterday. I gave her a bath this morning and washed her hair. The poor child has Mike's oily hair and my dry skin...what a combination! She's sitting in the living room right now watching the Hallmark channel and playing with some toys. I'm not sure what got into Mike last Wednesday when he stayed home with her, but he put new batteries in Brooke's saxophone. There are no words to the annoyance of this toy. But Brooke LOVES the silly thing. A big thank you to Brooke's friend Justin Frazier who brought her a hat and magic wand from the circus! Brooke loves them. We hope he enjoys his Mickey Mouse shirt from WDW! I finally uploaded my pictures this morning, so hopefully I can add some of those to the blog. Not sure why I've been so lazy lately about not doing it??
I'm so thankful for my mom who kept Brooke yesterday and helped me get some decorating done last night. I now have something hanging on the walls in my living room. It's a little bare still, but at least it's a start. These things take time! Mom is so meticulate with her placement of everything. She wears me out. Ha. I admire people who move, and have their homes looking showroom ready immediately. I'm not one of those people. It takes me 3-5 years to get it where I want it. I have to think about things and once I get an idea in my head...I have to find it. If you want to come visit...please do. Just be sure to do it before the flu season hits!!
