So, you may be wondering why there is a blog titled Michaela Joelle. Hmm, why is there a blog titled Michaela Joelle?
Easy.
I had been racking my brain trying to figure out what I wanted to give you as your first birthday present. Not on your first birthday, but an on going present that I thought could be given to you symbolically on your birthday (the actual day you were born). For your brother, I wrote in a journal every three or four days from the moment we knew to expect him up until he was born. I thought I should do something different for you because, after all, you are a different child.
So why do the same thing for the two of you, right?
Anyways, I was struggling to come up with a creative idea of what I should do for your present. After talking with a couple of different people at work one of them gave me a great suggestion. My colleague listened to what I did for Jackie and then suggested that I write a new journal but from a different angle. Instead of writing about different events happening while you were in the womb, I should write down experinces from your life from the moment you are born: milestones, interesting things you do, and other events that happen within the family.
I thought for you I could write something that would be easy for you to navigate (a blog). I don't imagine you'll enjoy every written piece. You may have your favorite entry, so I'd want you to be able to find it efficiently. Also, I thought I should write a blog that is inspired by you. For example, writing about your milestones, writing stories that have been inspired by things you're doing, and writing about events that I am looking forward to. Does that sound exactly like what my colleague said? Well, it was similar but different.
What do you think?

Stomach Bug
Today your mother and I were really worried about you not feeling good. And no, this is not an April Fools Day joke. Last night you threw up two times. First, all over yourself. Then, the second time all in your hair.
Real cute. It was a joy to clean up after you.
Seriously though, we were very worried because Jackie, your mother, Aunty Mandy, Uncle Mickey, GG, Aunt Allison and I all just had the stomach bug too. In fact, that is part of the reason why you were born when you were born.
After going to the doctor, we found out that you are okay. Apparently there is nothing that we can do to help you get over your bug. Dr. Asch said that you are showing all the appropriate signs that you are still "healthy." I guess when your mouth losses the saliva and when you stop using the bathroom, then we have to worry about your being dehydrated.
Let's hope it doesn't get to you being dehydrated. We've been to the doctor's office 3 times in the last week and a half with you already. I think they are already beginning to recognize us on sight and not from the on going chart.
