It's a Miracle

Hello LFM Readers!

Let me start by saying: Congratulations to every Mom out there that has successfully raised a child! I'm not meaning that your children have to be practically perfect in every way, because that's reserved for Mary Poppins. I'm talking about literally just getting them to the age they can stand on their own two feet and provide for themselves.

I called my own Mother last night and congratulated her. She laughed of course, and thanked me. I couldn't help it though! Brian and I went to our Baby Boot Camp class last night (a 3.5 hour overview on how to take care of a newborn--we found it to be insightful, and I recommend it for new Moms, especially those without family in town). The instructor went over everyday care like diapering, bathing, feeding and burping, swaddling, crying, etc. We also had a Pediatrician come in to talk about all of the various visits we'd have to go through, immunizations, as well as when to go to the doc and when not to worry. I STILL need a Pediatrician,..please, any recommendations?

By the end of the evening, I was totally amazed that I've made it to adulthood without any problems. Granted I've had my share of Strep Throat, and obviously had the chicken pox, not to mention a broken wrist. Other than that, I was in tip top shape! I'm not allergic to anything (like grass, peanuts, or any kind of medicine), and I never really missed school. I wasn't a daycare kid, so I missed out on things like colds, pin worms, rotavirus, upper respiratory or gastrointestinal problems. What did your children suffer from the most growing up? Anything?

It just blows my mind that my Mom raised THREE healthy kids! I'm only hoping to be so lucky. :)

Until next time, be grateful to your Mother!
