My excellent day actually starts yesterday, when baby had her neurology visit. She had to have an EEG, which is no fun because they have to stick like 25 leads to your head, and you can't even touch the pretty, colorful wires to which they attach, but Baby, true to form, behaved like a complete champ. She hardly fussed at all, and even fell asleep while they were monitoring her, which is exactly what they want. And then, best of all, when we saw the RN she said the the EEG looked great and that we can finally start (SLOWLY) weaning her off of her medicine!! Thanks be to God and thanks to everyone who prayed for our Little Bell!!
So, with news like that yesterday, today has to be good. And, sure enough, today we rose (if slightly earlier than this mama wanted) to a cold but beautiful, clear Florida day. Mama and baby were able to see Daddy off to work, and then had a quiet start to the day. Mama was productive enough to make an egg for breakfast, as well as the usual toast, and then baby played while mama read her interesting book ("Mr. Langshaw's Square Piano" by Madeline Goold, thanks to dad for that one). Halfway through the morning baby went down for a good nap. This nap actually allowed mama to take a bath to clean up (amazing!) as well as start the dishwasher. Baby awoke from her nap in a pleasant mood, and mama and baby just finished a delicious lunch (really - see next post for details) together. This afternoon, by now about 50 degrees outside, we will set out for a walk to our local library. Tonight there is a wives' get-together at the coffee shop near our house, and sweet daddy has agreed to watch baby while mama goes out, saying, "We'll get some junk food, crack open a soda or two, and wrestle or play with dolls or something fun. My only stipulation about this evening is that you have fun and don't worry about me and baby." Daddy is simply the best, isn't he?
Oh, and did I mention that I have chocolate brownies, fudge, AND chocolate bars in the house?
Ahh, 2010, you are shaping up to be an excellent year.

That sounds like an awesome day. The kind of day that keeps you going -- beautiful yet attainable.
