Good Morning
Earth day is around the corner...I always end up asking myself...what do I do for the earth?! It's always a good time to rethink things around the house and rethink my daily activities that I could do less of that would make a small step towards a better earth.
We celebrated last night. A little family party (Mommy and Daddy actually since Little One didn't truly understand the joy we were feeling). Little One has graduated from speech. She was born early and had dwarfism. Her speech was slow at the start and our insurance company didn't think she needed extra help. I disagreed and didn't give up until I won. I have been taking her to speech since she was just a little over one! Early, but it has made an amazing difference to the start of her language and her comprehension. I know there are times when my insurance company can't stand me but I will do anything for what I feel is right. My Little One is the one that won! I know that the insurance people see the truth however I am guessing I will never hear them say..."You're right and we were wrong"! HA! The driving in traffic, the co pays, and the cost of gas was all worth it but it will not be missed at all.
Still preparing for Easter...I love Easter. Three years ago Little One was in the hospital fighting to breath with CPAP. It was the saddest and scariest point of our lives. I remember crying to the hospital staff a few days before Easter and thinking it would never end. The staff member look at me and said "You need to prepare yourself that things are going to get a lot worse and she may be here for a very long time". She was right to prepare us. Things didn't end up getting worse but we were ready for it. I have now decided to celebrate Easter almost as much as Christmas. It was a painful time but I have turned things around for my family. It's not about the gifts at all, it's truly about a new season and a fresh start!
Enjoy the Bunny!

Rain and Preparing for Easter
Good Afternoon....
My e-mail box is full, toys are everywhere, dishes need to be put away, it's raining (I sometimes love the rain and today I do), medical paperwork needs to be put away but all I can do is read books with my little one and play little people (we love little people toys). It's a good day!
I love Easter...I enjoy everything about the day: eggs, candy, flowers, and yummy food. We are preparing for the bunny this week :)

Supporting a Friend :)
Yesterday I stayed with a dear friend who had a baby girl. It was the first time I held a baby girl in the hospital since having my little one. It was healing but at the same time filled with emotion. Life is such a gift and entering the world healthy is truly a wonderful thing. I was unable to be alone with my little one for three months. Yesterday I got to witness something special that happens when a Mom has her baby by her side from day one. I am sad that I did not have that but at the same time so happy that I had the medical help to keep her alive. So...I guess my learning process on this whole thing is...yes I didn't get the first moments in a natural way...but I now have a daughter who is getting stronger and healthier because of an amazing medical team.

Weekends...
I love weekends...it's a time for family/ friends, coffee, dancing, crafts, shopping and enjoying the little moments of joy. The weeks are busy and filled with medical/development appointments for us. Weekends are slow and make me smile :)

Little Steps In A Big World...
Good Morning!
This is my first blog entry since leaving the world of blogging about 2.5 years ago. I have been asked by many to return. It wasn't any easy decision however with a lot of thought I have decided it was time to start again. A new beginning in a journey that hasn't always been easy, fair, or kind however it's also been filled with love, joy and excitement.
I am a little Mama/Mom/Mommy who has dwarfism. My steps may be little in a big world but I will always try my best to get to my goal. My dream as a little girl was to be a Mom, a wife, and a preschool teacher. I did it! I have learned to live in a world that is designed for people who are average height. It sucks...sometimes I yell, cry and hide because of the sadness I feel but most days I face the world just fine.
Enjoy the journey...
