I so can't believe my baby is one years old today! She shares her birthday with Uncle Matt. It hard to believe but I gave birth on the same day my mom did! It feels like was only yesterday that they pulled her out of my tummy. Man, time sure does fly! I can't believe I am looking at a toddler now.
I took Penny to school today where they had a special celebration for her. Here is a picture of her and I baking her birthday cake.
Her teachers had this crown for her to wear which she painted herself.
They also decorated the room all for Penny. And for the first time ever had a baby's birthday party outside. Penny loves he outside so it was just perfect! Penny had a great day playing with her friends. It was funny, it was as if she knew it was her birthday as she had the biggest smile on her face all day and was in such a good mood. Surely, she knew it was her special day!
As a little girl I would look on my mom’s arm and wonder why she had such a weird mark near her shoulder. A few days ago, as the warm solution penetrated my bloodstream, I started to cry remembering my mom’s mark. The nurse asked me if I was okay and I told her I was so incredibly happy. As a diabetic I was stressed never knowing if I was doing enough to avoid it but also, keeping some semblance of life in doing outdoor things. I cried because I am incredibly grateful to the SCIENCE that made this possible in only a year. Less time for me to worry about my only kiddo should the worse happen. If ur on the fence...I’ve worked in entertainment for over 20 years and I’ve seen first hand how easy celebrities influence the public. Some do good and others well...I’m happy to have a little bit of the gracious Dolly Parton with me. Scientists on the other hand, very rarely get the recognition for their years of study, years of research and expertise contributing to (wo)mankind....
