Today we met up with Hubby's cousin to give her and her new husband their wedding gift. We were unable to attend their wedding two weeks ago and wanted to make sure they got our gifts. Since they were going to be at Universal Studios for the day we met up with them at a local breakfast spot to hand off the gifts. While we waited for them we had some fun with Baby Girl. Daddy gave her some jam to try and one of her favorite things is drinking water from a straw. Not sucking from the straw but rather mommy or daddy taking a straw full of water and feeding it to Baby Girl. I think it makes her feel like a bird.


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.

Scientists on the other hand, very rarely get the recognition for their years of study, years of research and expertise contributing to (wo)mankind....
