Born From My Heart

Head over to see My Little Life  and play along! 1. What were your school colors? High school was Blue/Gold and college was, well, Blue/Gold!  It was a convenient coincidence. LOL 2. What's the best compliment you ever received? My daughter.  The fact that her birth parents felt me worthy of that beautiful gift and precious life. 3. Do you buy cheap or expensive toilet paper? Expensive - I am a generic brand queen but NOT when it comes to toilet paper!  Ouch!  LOL 4. Have you ever had a surprise party thrown for you? Or have you had one for someone else? Nope.  Never.  I'm probably too nosey to have one thrown for me.  I think I'd probably catch on at some point.  I've been to a few surprise parties but never actually threw one either. 5. What is one material possession that you "can't live without"? DVR - I can't live without having Dora, Diego or Yo Gabba Gabba on emergency stand-by.  Plus, I can still catch the shows ...

On the 21st of June Reagan had her 18 month check-up. As usual she was extremely cooperative and interested in process of the exam and even knows how to breathe in and out when a stethoscope is near. LOL Her stats were: Height – 32 ¾ - 75% Weight – 20lbs 14ozs – 5% Head Circumference – 47 ½ - 75% These are all in her normal percentile – my tall, thin big brained girl! LOL Her exam was normal except for the doctor detected a very slight heart murmur that hadn’t been detected before. Since Reagan is growing, eating and has a normal energy and activity level, the doctor decided to wait and see if the murmur was just an anomaly. Today we went for our recheck and the murmur was still there so after we return from our week in Ocean City, MD, Reagan will be getting an EKG to confirm that the murmur is just a normal, benign murmur. I am not concerned about it but am looking forward to a Pediatric Cardiologist telling me that I am right not to be concerned. KWIM?

I am so happy Friday is here!  I have been exhausted this week.  But Friday it is always fun to play along with My Little Life  with Five Question Friday! 1. Do you collect anything? Actually I do.  I collect anything related to the movie Peter Pan.  I have a ton of stuff currently in boxes but I need to finally drag out the glass enclosed cabinet to have them out where I can enjoy them.  Oh and I even have a tattoo of Peter Pan and one of the silhouette of the Captain Hook ship.  A little obsessive?  Perhaps! 2. Name 3 celebrities that you find good looking. Well Brad Pitt has been a yummy favorite for me ever since Thelma and Louise.  I think Adam Lambert is incredibly hot.  And, hmmm, I am having trouble picking a 3rd.  Oh, yes, Tom Cruise during his Top Gun era...before he went a little off the wall. 3. Do you have any scars? If so, what's the story behind it (them?)? I have a few.  One is a bikini cut scar from th...

Five Question Friday with many thanks to My Little Life 1. What is one thing you miss the most about childhood? Not having to shave my legs, or underarms, or bikini line, etc., etc., etc.  I dream about being able to wake up and put on a swim suit without reaching for the razor first.  2. Are you still friends with your friends from high school? Yes but we are not as close as I wish we were.  Geography took its toll on the friendships but I still love them and stay in contact via email and of course Facebook. 3. Is there a catch phrase, cliche, or word that just drives you bonkers every time you hear it? Not so much one when I hear it but there is one that when I see it I want to beat that someone with an English book.  I know not everyone is great at spelling and grammar and I know I mess up plenty but for some reason, seeing someone type "should of, could of, would of, etc." instead of should have, could have, would have just drives me nuts.  LOL 4...

I am fortunate that Reagan and I share similarities in looks.  That means that only those we wish to tell will ever know that she became my daughter through adoption.  I think that is pretty neat and just confirms what my heart already knows - she was meant to be my child, chosen just for me, delivered in just the right way at just the right time.  Sweet perfection.  Here are some other ways that I know she is mine: * Secret shared squeals and giggles from under the blanket that is over our heads. * Seemingly thinking the same thing at the same time...and realizing it. * Morning hellos from her crib with kisses waiting just behind them. * Those precious few moments when she climbs into my lap and sits very still and allows me to snuggle her.  I swear she does that for my benefit - LOL - it always happens just when I need it the most. * Her love of nakedness - it started with me as a child and spread to my nieces and nephews and no...
