I love my god-daughter; she is
a big part of our life. The day she
was born I decided to put my career
on hold, so I could take care of her
during the first three years of her life,
while Aunt and Uncle were working.
I will always cherish that special
time with her.
I have made hundreds
of bottles and changed tons of
diapers. I've feed, burped, bathed,
and dressed her; read to her, and
sat on the floor and played games
with her for countless hours. She
had colic for months; it was so hard
to watch her going through that.
I have taken her to the doctor for
check-ups, shots and colds. I have
gone to the store in the middle of the
night when she was teething, to get
her Ambasol.
When she was two years old, she
was diagnosed with diabetes. At
that time, I went through extensive
training and learned how to measure
and administer her insulin and what
to do in case of an emergency
situation.
Although she can't eat the candy, she loves to get dressed up for Halloween, so we’ve gone trick-or-treating on many occasions. She's been everything from a little mousy to Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz.
We've gone to the playground, and
for walks in the stroller. I've tickled her
just so I could hear her sweet little
giggles, watched her take her first steps into my arms, heard her say her first words. I've dropped her off at school, brought books up to her when she's forgotten them, and picked her up from the nurses office when
she was sick.
We've driven out of state to pick her
up from camp at the end of the summer. She’s slept over our house on many occasions along with her little sister.
We've baked cupcakes and cookies together.
On many occasions, we have also taken her and her sister to
chucky cheese, the circus, had all
of their friends over for bbq’s,
helped them with homework, gone
to see softball, volleyball, and badminton games, and watched them sing in chorus concerts.
They are very excited to hopefully
have another little cousin very soon.
Outlook:
I plan to be a stay-at-home mom.
Andrew and I both feel that if at all possible a child should have at least one parent at home caring for them, instead of putting them into day-care or leaving them with a nanny to raise
them.
More than anything else, no
matter what we are doing, Andrew
and I enjoy spending our time together and can't wait to share this with a baby.
We like to travel. We love to take walks together, and go to the park, go apple & pumpkin picking, summer and fall festivals, horseback riding, swimming, have lots of barbeques and frequently
visit with friends and family.
Hobbies:
Andrew loves to play golf. He and
his friends go at least once a week.
He also loves watching sports. I love to draw and paint. I also enjoy photography, reading and sewing.
We both love to watch movies together and listen to all different types of music.
Our Pets:
We have two little cocker-spaniel puppies: Cinni & Bella. They are so adorable; both and are extremely affectionate and especially loving towards children. They have proven this to us on numerous occasions, while playing with our cousins, god-children ,nephews and niece. They both love to give kisses and play ball, tug, and fetch.
They are very well behaved and would love to have a playmate who will endlessly chase them around
the house. They are also lap dogs that love to cuddle, snuggle and sleep.
