We decided to have a BBQ @ our house Friday evening & invited over a few close friends. Here is a slideshow I made of the pics I took. We will have to do it again sometime soon!
This evening me and my friends Lauren & Nikki took a CPR course. Chris had wanted me to take one when I was pregnant because (being a paramedic) he thinks every parent should be. After taking this class I totally agree. It really could make a difference of saving your child's life! Chris had said he thinks they should make it mandatory when you are pregnant to take this. They should, especially since those few minutes (best response time for paramedics to arrive being at least 5 or 6 minutes) are even more critical for a child while their heart has stopped beating. I also feel better knowing if Chris (or any family member/friend) was choking or not breathing I could really help them from having brain damage or even worse brain dead by keeping up w/CPR.
We all actually were surprise by how much we enjoyed the class and had a good time. Wasn't even really boring at all. Just informative. If someone already started CPR before Paramedics arrive it makes their chance of survival so much better! Something so easy to learn I would feel horrible if I had the chance to do something & chose not to.
I think I would actually feel a lot better if someone watching my child knew CPR. So hopefully one day soon, that means (Mom A. & Mom M.) you need to get certified too! :o)~
Last night we celebrated our one year anniversary early. I work Monday (our actual Anniversary date) and Chris is on shift. So we decided to go out & celebrate last night. We went and had a nice dinner @ Houston's in N. Miami Bch.. This is where Chris proposed on 7/5/07 as most of you already know. This was the first time we had been back there and had known this is where we planned to go for dinner on our 1 year anniversary. It was a nice evening together that we both needed after the stress of things over the past two months. Here are a few pics I took before we left. (you know me! chris groaned when he saw me get out the tripod! ;o)) The last pic is of our year old wedding cake. ;o)~ Got to keep with the tradition of good luck. We need it. Chris of course made me take the first bite! (and thank you again for the very thoughtful gift card Kim. We were saving it to use for our anniversary)
I started this blog to keep close friends and family updated with info and pics of our pregnancy and baby.
Sadly our littlest Angel grew wings early on 2/4/09♥. I decided to keep this blog during our journey with Infertility.
Plus I really like this blogging and hoped to look back on all this, while our baby is sleeping, with a smile on my face that it was all so very worth it!
On May 4th 2010 we finally welcomed our rainbow baby, Kailyn Marie, into our family. Now I use this blog as her baby book so one day she can read about herself and just how much she was loved by so many!
