28 Days of Thankfulness - Day 3 - Sleeping Babies

Two sleeping babies in particular have captured my heart tonight. The first is my brand new niece, "Alex". Brian and Gina (my brother and sister-in-law) welcomed her into the world very early this morning. 

I haven't been able to meet her yet, because my second sleeping baby, Vivi started running a very high fever this afternoon. 

(Disclaimer: This is actually a picture I took a few nights ago. I would not put pajamas and a blanket on a feverish child).

In addition to the fever, Vivi seemed to be hyperventilating. Now that she is sleeping, her breathing seems to be much more normal; and her fever has started to come down with some help from Advil and Tylenol.

I'm thankful that Alex arrived safely into the arms of her loving parents. I'm thankful that Vivi is resting and hopefully on the road to recovery. 

At one day shy of 18 months apart, my hope is that these two beautiful girls will grow up to be great friends.
