Dilema

I'm sat in work listening to a debate on the radio about mmr injections. In the news due to the increase in measles. I have to say that i am not over convinced by the links to autism but i do worry and have even concerned trying to find out about the single vaccines. I do want Abi to have a jabs but i do wonder if the triple vaccines are a good idea. The more the debate goes on the more concerened i become. But i am certain that Abi needs to have these vacinations but i need to decide in the mmr form or as single vacinations.

september

In work we have a prayed diary for the month. September has this on the front and i thought how appropriate.

Lord,i cannot understand
its all too much for me,
undeneath the music
there's a note of tragedy
but it comforts me to know
that all things everywhere
rest within the circle
of they providential care.

life and death are part of
an eternal mystery,
the future is uncertain
and the end i cannot see
but all i need to know is this
that theres a god above
who leads the faithful
through the darkness
and his name is love

Life is precious

There are things that happen in life that stop and make you think, look at your life and count your blessings, even make you angry with God but through it all life is precious.

My friend Debbie found what i guess is every women's nightmare a lump in her breast, and saw here GP then a consultant all of who thought chances were that it was a fatty lump nothing to worry about. But they did a biopsy to make sure but we thought it would come back OK. But unfortunately it didn't and she has been diagnosed with breast cancer. A complete shock to us all but it does look like they have caught it early and the prognosis is good but she still faces surgery and radiotherapy and then waiting for the all clear. Like me she is a nurse and i think finding it hard to be a patient and hard being off work. I cant imagine how she feels. I now i am upset schocked and a little bit angry and aware of how fortunate i am especially when i see Abigail. I wish somehow i could take her pain away, i guess take away all of this. I have tried to be there for here but I'm sure i didn't help when she told me as i was so shocked by the news and all the skills i would have had with a patient deserted me when it was someone i care about.

She is just about to celebrate her first wedding anniversary and this in a way means there lives are on hold. I am also friends with her sister and when i spoke to her yesterday she was asking me questions a lot of which i didn't no the answers to and it got me thinking and worrying even more. But there will always be so many what ifs and buts in life and uncertainties in life if this reminds me off anything it is how precious the gift of life is and how much we need to live for the moment and enjoy life. I would ask though if you can that you would spare a thought and prayer for deb and her family. As for me i am holding on to the same bible verse that gave me so much help when dad died that everything happens for a reason.

outgrowing

On Saturday because Mummy and daddy couldn't decide where to go, we went to mothercare cause they wanted to look at car seats. They said mine is too small and i have to say it does fell smaller when i am sat in it and i cant go to sleep as easy now. The lady was very helpful and took some seats to the car and tried them in daddy's car, then they sat me in the seat it was very comfortable and it tilted back but best of all i could see out the window and wasn't looking at the seat. Daddy decided to buy the seat for me, and it was nice snuggling to sleep in it. Then yesterday mummy took me to the clinic and had me weighed i am now 20ib 3 1/2 oz. So daddy said it was a good job we had got a new seat as the other one went up to 20ib but is suppose to last till 9 months and i still got another 2 weeks before i am 8 months. He says i am grewing up too quick.

we have tooth off

Abigail seems to have been teething for ages but all with no signs of any teeth. But at last there is the first signs with a tiny corner of a tooth poking through. And so far with a small amount of fuss.

Big trouble

Macy was in big trouble yesterday. We were just leaving when a little boy said is this your dog. When mummy looked there he was over the road and refusing to come back. He kept running across the road and that upset mummy as he doesn't know his green cross code. Mummy then tried to catch him with some ham but he only came so far back. But then a neighbour came with a parcel and Macy ran to him. I think mummy was relieved and didn't now whether to hug him or shout at him. So she gave him some ham and put him behind the gate and then shouted.

It was my cousins birthday on Sat and daddy's nan and grandads wedding anniversary. we visited Nan and grandad on Saturday and took a card and some flowers. On Sunday we went to Joe's birthday party here are some pictures of me at the party and a picture of the birthday boy. I managed to keep my dress clean this time.

But best of all here is one of me cuddling with mummy.

wedding

Mummy and Daddy took me to a wedding, it was there friends Claire and Ian. Mummy and Daddy were all dressed up and looked very nice Mummy had a nice necklace and bracelet on which i wanted to play with but she wouldn't let me, and they both had pretty flowers but they wouldn't let me near them although i did manage to get at mummies in church before daddy stopped me. i had a nice dress on but mummy told me to keep it clean and to keep my shoes on but i managed to take my shoes off then i was sick. So my dress colour changed. it was a nice wedding though there was lots of flowers and pretty dresses. And i enjoyed the music at the party afterwards. Nanny and grandad were there as well so i got to spend some time with them as well.

Here is a picture of me all nice and clean before we went out do you like my new dress, mummy brought it when we were on holiday.

Bad hair day

do you like the new style or prehaps not.

Here is a picture of me earlier in the day. Not sure what i am supposed to be doing.

Birthdays

It was grandmas birthday, the best thing i have found about birthdays is the wrapping paper. Grandma came round for her tea and i had helped mummy and daddy decorate the house and my other nanny had made a cake. She liked her presents and cards but her favorite present was the one off me.
