4 Months and a Wake Up Call

This past week has been very crazy. Last Saturday my father ended up in the hospital for what he thought was something fairly simple that turned out to be much more serious. I won't go into details because its somewhat personal, but he ended up needing to have surgery. All is well with him now and he is healing well but while he was there they ran bloodwork on him and discovered he is diabetic and also has high blood pressure. So needless to say he was very overwhelmed with all of this new information, along with the fact that he had to have surgery. He spent two days in the hospital, and I did everything I could to make sure I was there for him, I was so worried for him and everything he was going through. Thankfully this experience can serve as a bit of a wake up call, not just to him, but our whole family to be sure to take good care of ourselves and our health because you never know what waits around the corner. My dad has a long road ahead of him filled with a lot of life long changes, but he is a strong man and I know he will do great!

On a more up beat note: Sabrina had her 4 month check up on June 21st and she weighed 11lbs 4oz and was 24 3/4 inches tall. The doctor said she looks awesome and is developing very well. In fact a couple days later she rolled over from her back to her stomach all on her own! Life is so good! Every day gets easier and now I sometimes can't imagine our lives before she was here, it has become so natural now.

It is 4th of July weekend and I dont know if we have any plans really. We live close to the Goodyear Spring Training Facilities and they will be letting off fireworks there tomorrow night. We may drive the car over to the next neighborhood over that faces the ballpark and watch the fireworks from there and come right back home but thats about it. No big plans. Its way too hot to try and BBQ and nobody we know has a pool, so we mostly try to stay in out of the heat. (It was 119 degrees today! OUCH!)

Here are some pictures of Sabrina that we took when she turned 4 months old!
