Hello Everyone,
Sorry I had to cut my intro short, but I was having a really stressful day. Continuing with my intro....Trinity was not the result of a planned pregnancy but I thank God for her each and everyday. She is what motivates me to do everything I do every day. Enought of the sentimental things....So far she is as healthy as any kid her age can be, she's getting smarter everyday and sometimes I feel like I am actually having conversations with her...it's really cute! Her favorite character's right now are SpongeBob and Dora the Explorer. We are in the process of moving soon to a bigger house and she's finally gonna get her own room! I am still undecided if I want it to be Disney Princesses or Hello Kitty. What do you guys think? Any suggestions? My boyfriend want her to have a SpongeBob room but I think that's mostly for boys? I don't know...I guess I've always been very girly and that's how I want her to be. I know that I want to paint the walls pink but I don't know what theme to do. Enough of the decoration talk. I had a question to ask everybody. Since I am a fist time mom I am not too familiar of how often kids should get sick. My little siblings get sick all the time, with mostly vomiting and diarrhea. As much as I try to keep Trinity away it's impossible and she always ends up catching whatever it is they have. This usually happends every 2-3 months. My friend made a comment the other day when I told her this. She said that it wasn't normal for kids to get that sick all the time. She doesn't have any kids but she does have several nieces and nephews. How often is it "normal" for kids to get sick. Anyways I hope to get some good advice from some of you "experienced" moms, I know there is still a lot more I have to learn. Well that's all for now, talk to you all later.
Love,
Alma and Trinity
