Rilla just had her two month DR visit. She is growing so quickly and time just keeps flying by. I was surprised to learn that she weighed nearly 11 pounds. She is a cute and healthy baby with a good temperment so I was horrified when the nurse informed me that Rilla would be receiving five pokes. I wanted to know why they didn't have the combination vaccine and regretted asking when the nurse told me (in a matter-of-fact way void of any sympathy) they were out of them. Rilla, however, took the shots bravely and quickly went to sleep afterward--perhaps to slip away from reality.
Since Rilla & I were alone, I decided to make a quick stop to the store to pick up a couple of Christmas gifts. As I was pushing the cart down the isle of ornaments searching frantically for a large jingle bell, a woman came around the corner towards me. She smiled and boldly put her cart at an angle forcing me to stop and look at her. She then stated in a serious yet gentle voice, "You have the best Christmas present right there already." She moved her cart and allowed me to pass. Thank you to that stranger for kind words that reminded me how truly blessed I am. What a wonderful time of year to have a precious baby.
