Promise Walk

Dearest Joshua David~

Hello little precious!  Today was a beautiful day.  The morning was nice and cool for our walk, but then it progressively got hotter as the day went on. 

We did the Promise Walk this morning.  It was a 5K loop around a lake in Apex.  There were about 50 people there, including children.  Before the walk started, a doctor was there to discuss Preeclampsia.  There were 9 of us who had Preeclampsia in our pregnancies and had to deliver early.  Three of us also had HELLP.  All nine of us were recognized and our children were recognized as well.  You got a balloon, and I got a button as a survivor.  

It was an inspiration to see other women and children who have survived this pregnancy disorder.  We did, however, meet women who have lost children to Preeclampsia.  Children are such blessings and miracles from God!  Daddy and I thank our Lord for you everyday!  :-) 

After the race, we saw your (Great) Uncle Laurence and signed papers for a contract.  We sent it to the sellers, and by the end of the day, the sellers had signed as well.  So .... we're "under contract" for a new house!  How exciting!  If all goes well, we'll close on the house in late June!  Now, we have to focus attention to this townhouse to get it sold!  

This afternoon your Mimi came over to help us organize things with the townhouse.  She and daddy went out and got some plants and accessories to make this place shine for potential buyers.  :-)  When they returned, you were eating some rice cereal and showed off to your Mimi.  You did well and pretty much finished your bowl!  I still had to bribe you with a bottle as well, but you're getting better with the spoon.  

After dinner we did our usual play time and tummy time.  I didn't feel well (my allergies were really bad and I could hardly breath!), so daddy took care of you.  You have a good daddy!  

Tomorrow is Mother's Day!  Yippie!  I can't wait!  Sleep tight little angel!

I love you!  :-)
