...there was heartburn!

When I found out I was pregnant with Courtney I was excited yet a bit unsure. I already had Michael who was only 7 months old at the time and becoming a hand full. For 9 months the family debated names, I debated with my hormones and Michael debated weather or not it was safe to go near mommy's big belly!

On the 9/9/99 this special little girl came into my life. Although I won't claim it was easy bringing her into this world, it was deffinately one of the best days of my life! Since then she has made me laugh, made me cry and made me an insomniac!

Last year she ended up she hospital for 3 days. It turned out she'd had an asthma attack. I knew very little about asthma and was terrified as the nurses and doctors ran around trying to bring her oxygen levels up. As is usual with parents, I think I was more scared than Courtney. She was very brave and full of smiles (and demands) before we left.

Courtney has the most amazing temper (I have no idea where she gets it from...) yet the sweetest nature. Always wanting kisses and cuddles or to try help with whatever I'm doing...of course that's when she's not bossing her big brother around or wrapping her uncle Darren even further round her little finger!!!

So this page is especially for my little madam...
