Chicken Scratchings

It's been a while since my last post, so while I had a few minutes this morning, I figured I'd catch you all up on what's been going on over in the chicken coop.

Chicken Little had an appointment with an ENT yesterday. The appointment couldn't have come at a better time. Her daycare provider Miss "P" called Monday because she was acting different (constant crying and screaming out). Those of you who know our little princess know that she's not one to carry one like that--especially in a crowd...lol. Miss P even called Monday night to check on Chicken Little. That meant so much to me. I felt she was loved at daycare and well cared for, but now I KNOW!!
Anyway, I was very impressed with the ENT. I saw Dr. "N" when I was a child and liked him, but now that I'm a mother, he was even more appealing. :) I did not realize what a devout Christian Dr. N was.
As we were walking down the hallway to the exam room, there was a painting that caught my eye. It depicted a doctor preforming surgery and the image of Jesus Christ behind him, hand on his shoulder, guiding him through the surgery. I thought WOW!! A doctor who would allow such. So many doctors today have a "God complex", that I guess I was surprised to see such in an office.
When Dr. N came in, we talked about the multiple ear infections. Chicken Little has alot of fluid build up in her right ear. I was so glad that the doctor wasn't "TUBES, TUBES, TUBES!!" He wanted to try her on a stronger round of antibiotics to see how she reacted, before we discussed surgery. He even made comment (and I wish I could remember his EXACT words) about the Lord working through him and in his office. He said something in the way of not making decisions in haste, that he waited and God would guide his decisions. I WAS AMAZED!!! I felt such at ease. We go back on the 7th of Dec for another check-up!

I feel like I'm rambling along here but so much has been going on lately. Papa Rooster and I have been closed lately than "normal". I wake up every morning feeling so loved!!!!--I go to bed that way too!!! :) <3
I'm in the process of planing Chicken Little's 1st birthday party. Can you believe she's almost 1?!?! It's so hard to believe that a year ago I was anxiously awaiting her arrival. Now she's here and since she's growing up, baby fever has set in again.

Part of me feels like I should just stick with what I have. Working full time, and not getting home until late, leaves me feeling like she doesn't get enough of my time. What would I do with two!?!? :) But then I look back at all the baby pictures and I miss being pregnant and miss holding that sweet little baby. So we're "TALKING" about it. One day we're both on board with the idea. The next day we say let's wait until Chicken Little is 18mos or so, then Papa Rooster says it took almost 2 years to conceive Chicken Little, and maybe we should start trying now... We just can't make up our minds--but then again it's not up to us. I guess it'll happen in God's timing!

Enough scratchings for now! Everyone have a good day. Hope to see some of you tonight!!!
