Large purchases

I LOVE to buy diapers and formula in bulk. It is sometimes on the edge of being out of control. I bought five packs of diapers yesterday and as I loaded them into the car I just smiled. I think my baby will be around long enough to burn through all these diapers. Instead of complaining about how many diapers I have to buy and how much they cost, I celebrate. I shine with the knowledge that my daughter is going to live, she is going to live long enough that she will cost me tons and tons of money. Thats ok as long as I have her around. Just one more perspective that has come from Molly's heart.

On another note, I had to take her to the dr this morning for her monthly RSV shot. Marlin came with me. I told him he could get some hot chocolate as a special treat when I drove through the coffee shop. For the rest of the drive I heard this:
"I am going to get hum(some) hot chocolate." (repeat 600 times) He has such a sweet two year old voice. People are always saying "awwwww" when Marlin talks. He is such a sweet boy.

Molly's smile

There is something about my sweet baby molly's smile. Is it better than the smiles of my other precious children...no. It is simply different. Although you don't know for sure how long anyone will be with you, it wasn't very long ago we believed we might lose our little Molly. Once you have stood in front of the formula section at the store and tried to decide if you should buy one or two cans because you don't know if your baby will be alive long enough to drink two, you just don't forget how lucky you are to still have them. So every single time my sweet baby molly grins it is a beautiful baby smile and an amazing miracle.
