Today has been a great day! I had my follow up appointment after treatment #11 and was told I can officially say "so long" to the steroids! I am beyond thrilled about this. I have hit a record breaking 50 lbs gained from taking those stupid things. Thank goodness I'm done with them because I litterally CANNOT gain another ounce or the buttons on my pants are going to fly off!
Harrison and I went to Sears after my appointment and let me tell you, the elastic waist band around those maternity pants have never looked so tempting! Yes, it is time to start working this weight off... especially after that moment of despair! Ok, we may have horked down a whopping pizza at mellow mushroom after the Sears episode but come on, treament #11 was rough!
Even better than the good news on the steroids, Harrison and I got to meet our niece, Paisley, for the first time today. What a precious little baby we have just welcomed into the world! I have fallen in love with Harrisons nieces and nephews and now claim them as my own. However, this is MY first niece that I have known from birth and it's a whole new experience of love. I guess it's because I loved her before I met her and I have been praying for her since the day I knew she was just a peanut in her mothers womb.
I remember a friend of ours told us one time after meeting his baby neice for the first time. "You know, it's unreal how you can love someone so much who has never done anything for you. All she has done is be born."
Funny to think about how Jesus loves us. It's the same way. Before we are born again in Christ, we have never done ANYTHING for Him. Even worse than that, we were SINNING against Him. And in the same aspect, somehow, He still loved us.... Incredible.
