This has been our life for the past week. Delaney has RSV....a terrible virus that basically makes the baby drown in mucus....terrifying and gross, but true. We've had some scary moments, and Delaney even spent the entire weekend in the hospital. Thankfully we're home. I just wish snot was gold! If it were, we'd be rich!

Blog Confessions and Other Observations

It's been a LONG time since I actually added anything to my blog. The sad thing is, I've had nothing very interesting to add. I must confess, I'm more of a reader than a writer. Blogs I enjoy reading are Salyards Blaaaugh (a friend from school), The Bloggen Ogden (that friend's sister...whom I don't even know, but she just adopted a newborn little baby and I love reading about their adventures), and That's What She Said (written by someone I met through the writer of Salyards Blaaugh....I know her a little bit, but TOTALLY LOVE to anonymously read her blog).

Now that I've gotten that confession off of my chest, I must comment on the above picture. Isn't she adorable!?!? My little baby Delaney is such a doll, and since she is DEFINITELY my last, I tend to appreciate her baby-ness all that much more....taking really huge sniffs of her clean, freshly washed head after baths, not minding when I get spit-up or slobber on me, relishing the quiet little moments when I'm nursing her and she just stares so intently into my eyes. Even her cries are not the least bit annoying. I find myself saying, "Ah, listen to that sweet sound!" Seriously.....I know that may sound nuts, but I know this is it...my last baby. Boy, isn't she something else?!?! So again, look at that cute New Year's Baby.
