A good check up and a site to check.

After a slow start to the day (we had a two hour delay thanks to snowy, windy weather) things picked up. Then they never slowed down! I got some Silpada work done while Wes was at school and then it was off to his doctors appointment.

Wes ended up having a short day of school and was ready to go for his annual check up with Doctor Cohen. Doctor Cohen is the greatest! Wes has always been happy to go to the doctor, unless shots are involved. But, even then he doesn't fuss. I think the whole concept of being the center of attention makes him happy! The nurse gave us instructions on how to "properly pee in a cup". Good stuff! I love it when your 6 year old boy informs you, while you are holding the cup for him to pee into, that I was not doing it correctly. Whatever! At least he didn't over flow the cup, pee on me and most of the bathroom like Connor did when we last attempted a urine sample at the docs.

It was great to hear that Wes is healthy and right on track with his development. Good job buddy. I'm always thrilled to have healthy boys.

Along those lines. I have been following a blog about a young wife (Tricia), her husband (Nate) and their new baby girl, (Gwyneth). Both momma and baby have some tough medical struggles to get through and their story is very inspirational. Tricia has CF and was on a transplant list for a double lung transplant when the couple were surprised with a pregnancy. The couple has a very strong Christian faith and bravely beat the odds with the early delivery of their baby girl. If you are looking for an example of a couple firmly holding strong to their faith (while it may be different from mine and yours) this is the perfect site to visit. Nate is a great husband and a terrific new daddy....he also takes great photos of Gwyneth. Please visit, and if you pray, pray for them....they deserve it! http://cfhusband.blogspot.com/

Thanks, and I hope everything checks out good for you too today!
