Heart Strings

So as a new parent I've had a lot of "firsts" this past year. One thing you learn fairly quickly is how much these little critters pull at your heart strings. Katelyn pulls on mine daily with her infectious laugh and silly personality. We have been pretty lucky to have had such a healthy girl up until last week. Katelyn never gets sick so this has kind of been a "first" for both of us.
Last Friday she woke up with a nasty cough and has been sick since. I didn't want to be "one of those parents" that take their kids to the doctor for everything so I thought I would just wait it out because I was sure it was just a cold and they couldn't do anything for her. Finally yesterday with a push from my older sister Mandy (thanks by the way) I called the pediatrician and took her in. Turns out she has RSV and an ear infection in both ears!! I can't help but feel really guilty for not taking her in sooner! No one had to put me in the "dog house" I walked there myself.
At least Katelyn has been such a trooper through all this and loves me unconditionally (so far) :)

Baby Steps

One of the things on my "to do" list this year was to start a family blog. I'm a ametuer when it comes to blogging so I consider this first post my baby steps into the blogging world!
