{day 7}……

I am taking my inspiration from my little 16 month old daughter tonight.  She is such a little trooper, and no matter how hard, or tough things get for her – she just soldiers on.  She’s had it tough since her birth – what with one complication and another – but all the way through – she has never lost her smile, and her passion for being here.  She has so much unconditional love to give, and puts up with so much.

She is in hospital tonight (I opted to stay at home for the night – I figured it was better that I get a good night’s sleep on a real bed, rather than a skinny 3 foot long fold out chair!), and in extremely good hands.  She is not in for anything serious – except to be put on medication to try and lower her blood pressure.  She hates having the ‘cuff’ put on – no wonder her BP sky rockets!  Her walking is coming along really well – after her dinner and bath – we played ‘chasey’ around the ward.  I hid around corners, and she chuckled as she followed me.  No crawling – all walking – or rather – toddling!  She was very cute!  I am looking forward to getting back to her in the morning.

My parents in law are coming down tomorrow morning to take care of Madison while I am galivanting at the hospital.  She doesn’t know yet, and she will be so excited when they arrive!  She loves all her grandparents – Mama (my mum), Nanna and Pa (DH mum & dad).  We are tossing around the idea of letting her go back with them for a little holiday over the weekend!

Okeydokey – back to {day 7}.  I have been really pleased with myself over the past day or so.  No negative thoughts, and definately no sweating the small stuff – although there has been some opportunity!!!  Here is {day 7} of my journal – purely inspired by my strong little baby girl…….

thanks to Nancie Rowe Janitz for the stamped look’ brush that is in her Digitak Distressing Kit, for sale @ Scrap Artist.  It’s a great kit – so much to use and explore.  Get it while it is hot!
