my poor baby wasn't feeling good last week. i put her in a steamy hot bath (the way she likes it) and crushed some lavender on the floor of the tub. she sat on a towel and let the water drip over her. the combination of steam and lavender not only helped clear the mucus out of her lungs but relax her as well. the bathroom smelled like a huge cup of tea. it was lovely. we cuddled all day and though it was hard at times to watch her in pain, i did everything i could. my wonderful sister came over to help me clean in preparation of our baby shower while she napped in the living room. she slept in our bed that night, and the night after. the next day she was feeling so much better. by sunday she was back to normal. thank you Jesus, for answering my dozens of prayers and tear filled pleas so quickly. you are a wonderful Father.
