Sick, Sick Baby

Ahh...I'm tired. I'm VERRRYYY tired. Mady is still fighting this virus/infection she has in her mouth. It's so sad because you can just look at her and tell she is hurting and there is nothing we can really do for her except continue to give her the medicine which she HATES! She won't stay asleep longer than like 20 or 30 minutes. We tried last night putting her in the bed with us (which we NEVER do) and she slept better but managed to push me out the bed. I don't know how someone who weighs all of 20 lbs takes up so much room but she is one WILD sleeper. Chas says she gets that from me but I think he's crazy...I sleep like a little angel :)

On another note, we are still in FULL Birthday Party Planning Mode! It's so exciting to be planning my daughter a birthday party but man I didn't realize just how much goes into these things! One thing I am glad about is that we chose NOT to have the party at our house! We have too many people coming and I would have a hay-day trying to get everything clean b/c I'm kinda OCD like that! I'm just really hoping Mady is back to normal and feeling better by the time her party gets here next weekend!

Today is just one of those days I didn't have anything imparticular to write about...just writing. We are dead slow at work again today. It's pay day which I look forward to but all that's gone to pay bills! Why can't life be easy again? I'm tired of paying bills. I wanna go back to being a kid with the only worries in life revolved around which barbie I was going to play with next! hehe. Oh well, such is life!

Guess I should get off here and do some work (to pay some bills!) but remember this today:
"I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me" Phil 4:13

GOD BLESS!

15 more days...YIKES!

It's so hard for me to believe that in 15 short more days, our sweet princess will be 1! This past year has been the most amazing experience in my life and I know it will do nothing but get better each day. Even though we weren't ready for a baby, God helped us get ready and gave us our "Love Child" at a time when we least expected it. Madyson Taylor Dixon was born and immediately our lives changed. I knew then that I had to get my life in order with God so that I could be a good mommy and role model to my angel. I thank God everyday for not giving up on me. I also can't thank Him enough for giving us such a happy and healthy baby girl. Mady has excelled so much since she was born and continues to learn new things everyday. She has always been a good baby and loves to sleep and EAT (we swear she has no stopping point!!)! She has grown like a weed and continues to be right on average at each of her doctor's visits. Mady loves to get into everything. She has a nitro-speed when it comes to crawling and she is so close to walking its unbelievable. She pulls up on everything and walks all over the place as long as she is holding on. She hasn't quite gotten the courage to let go and try for that first step! However we aren't totally rushing it either! HaHa!

Anyways, I just wanted to let everyone in on a brief glimpse of the past year of Mady's (and our) life! Please keep us in your prayers right now though because Mady has a virus called Herpetic Gingivostomatitis in her mouth and has her in alot of pain. So needless to say that pain means no sleep for her which means no sleep for us! She's a trooper though and I know she will fight through it!

Ok so I became obsessed...

Yea, Yea I did it. I started a blog.

The past couple of days/weeks, I have become obsessed with reading other people's blogs. I'll read anyone's, whether I know them or not. It's like this little glimpse into someone else's life. So I decided to break down and start a blog so ya'll can keep up with us and The Princess!
