A few of my fellow photog friends have captured their sweet little ones lately during nap time & I thought… since I’m sitting in her room while she naps anyways, I might as well take some pictures too!  As many of you know, we had an incredibly scary period last year when Carter was very sick.  Doctors couldn’t tell us what was making her sick and why it lasted for months.  But our prayers were answered and by early Fall, it seemed that my strong baby girl was back to her wild, silly self.  We have monitored her closely over the past 4 months and with another set of great blood numbers in December, doctors said to take her off the meds Jan 1.  And as you can imagine for the last 6 days… I’ve been a nervous wreak!  As much as I pray for the strength to not let my nervousness consume me… it does at times.  So to combat my worries & fear that the past will repeat itself, I’ve been on HIGH alert watching her, feeling her sweet cheeks for a fever every little bit, looking at her tummy for a rash and pretty much not letting her get more than 5 feet away from me. 🙂 And at nap & bedtime, I find myself just sitting with her, praying & silently telling myself that it’s been another minute, another hour & another day off the meds and she is doing great!!  As my husband keeps reminding me, we must trust in our Lord that he will take care of her & us and that worrying gets me nowhere!  Easy said then done, babe.  We will go back from more labs at the end of the month when she continues to do great and make a plan from there. 😉 We are hoping for no plans and that this was a rough period in our lives that taught us just how strong we are and a period that we can put VERY far behind us.  Here’s a couple precious moments caught during her nap today… its unfathomable how much I love this girl.  I’d greatly appreciate you keeping my girl in your thoughts & prayers over the next few days & weeks.  Thanks friends!  XO
