People...

We just got home from the pediatrician. As new parents, I find it funny how when Emery seems "off", our first thought is that she might be sick. Well, as all of our parents told us already, Dr. Fox confirmed that our baby girls rash is normal for a nugget of her age. Speaking of a nugget her age... Emery is weighing in at a whopping 9 lbs and 6 oz! 21st percentile! (I have NO clue what that means. She got her 2 month vaccinations today.

That brings me to the point of this posting. The nurse came in and we got Emery all situated on the table. Three needles later, Emery was crying and I was too. (Kudos to Brandon for holding her... my heart was breaking and I couldn't watch.) When we got home, we were talking about how incredibly insane it is that some people can hurt their children. This morning I was literally crying with Emery.... She is as much a part of me and Brandon as our own hearts. It hurts me to see her hurting and I want nothing but the very best for her. That we live in a world where everyday on the news we see a new story of the inhumane things that people can do to their own flesh and blood is something that I will never comprehend.

I hope that there is a special place in hell reserved for those who can hurt and neglect their own.
