my little treasure

This post is a little rambly and just from my emotional highs from today I suppose... While these thought are so fresh in my heart I want to journal them for my Chloe...

Today Chloe had a dental check up. 3 cavities. ugh. This is the second time she has had to get dental work done and I feel so awful while she is in the chair. Ryan never had a cavity, Jake has had one,while Chloe has had 7 now.:( The dentist says its obviously from lack of nutrition in the womb. I still feel some were due to mommy's bad decision of allowing her to sleep with a cup at night. I hear all the warnings, but it brought her comfort and sleep and with an eleven year old and 2 babies I did whatever it took to get them and me sleep. Plus Chloe was and still is tiny. She just broke 30 lbs this year. She was 29lb at 4. The most she ever drank from a bottle is 4 oz, so she needed to eat at night longer than some babies. However she no longer sleeps with a cup and the past year she had 2 good checkups. We are very diligent about brushing before bed. They had an opening in the dental room so after her check up they went ahead and did most of the work. She has to go back again for the most minor cavity and to get sealants on her 5 yr molars. She is SUCH a trooper during the work. I am so proud of her. I never see Chloe less than full speed. That's why seeing her in the dental chair gets to me... She is SO healthy and strong. Only one sick visit to the dr since she has been born. I give all the glory of that to God. He keeps these kids well and I thank Him for His mercy and blessing of health. She is truly a ray of sunshine and brings joy wherever she goes. She is all smiles all the time. I know I have written this before, but its so true and so fresh in my heart today. The precious gift my heavenly Father gave me without me saying one prayer.

I had prayed for a Jacob for soo long, I was out of prayers at the time... Danny and I had just suddenly at the last steps of Jacob's adoption decided, why not a baby girl too? What a wonderful perfect decision it was.
