Home Again, Home Again

It's good to be home again, doing normal things, like playing with trains and in the sandbox and going to the park! One of these days, I might get around to writing some really thoughtful post about our whole ordeal. Justin and I have had some really great "debriefing" conversations, and I feel like the Lord has changed me a lot, for the better, through this experience. But, I won't go into it now (maybe never), because it would take a lot of thought for me to get it all out in writing.

Things are going well at home. Grace is taking in more and more formula every day, and she has almost met her 34-36 ounce goal (just a half ounce short.) She is also taking in more with the bottle, and we have pretty much eliminated the syringe. That is a good thing! Hopefully, she will get back to her 4-feeding-per-day schedule soon. She will continue to have a weight check once a week at the pediatrician's office, and we will probably see a nutritionist sometime soon to make sure her dietary needs are being monitored and adjusted as she grows.

Life at home is a little crazy. But, then again, it is always a little crazy around here. We really are getting back into our routine slowly but surely, and everyone is sleeping great! (Thank you for praying for that!) Say a little extra prayer for sweet Owen -- this whole experience combined with the terrible twos has rocked him a little more than everyone else.

Thanks, again, for praying for us! It is so good to be home!

  1. Sooo glad to hear that Grace is doing so well with her feedings. She is so beautiful and a special little girl who is being prayed for by SO many people!

    Let me encourage you to try to find the time (and the words!) to write that post on how the Lord has changed you already and what He is teaching you. We are all "ears"! :)
