Yesterday, I attended my first Adams Hill Mommy Club meeting of 2013. I wasn't able to go to the February meeting because Baby Girl was sick and the group hadn't meet up since the last one in October 2012, which I hosted. It was so awesome to see how all the little girls have grown since October. Baby Girl is the oldest girl but the other little girls are not far behind. It's funny that our club only has girls. But at least it is good for Baby Girl, as she will have 4 little girls to grow up with in our neighborhood. In addition to Baby Girl, there is Olivia, Ava, Rebecca and Laura. Every once in a while another mom and baby from the neighborhood will join but for now these our our core members. It's really great being able to meet with other moms and to listen to their experiences. In addition to experiences, there are great tips that I never thought of. Plus, its pretty cool to go into someone elses house and see what toys and products they use that you don't have. It's probably bad on the pocket book because afterward I usually want to buy some stuff. Oh well! Usually the host provides drinks and light snacks. The one noticeable thing about this meeting was that all the little babies were at an age where they could eat finger foods. So not only did you have mom's eating but babies eating too. I felt bad for Karla, the host, because her floor was covered in crumbs. Because not only are the babies eating but most of them are walking so the crumbs travelled all over the place!
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....
