Baby-moon

Today is the last day of our Baby-moon.  Adam heads back to work tomorrow.  The kids have been remarkabley filled with grace and patience during this time that has provided us a few unexpected challenges. 

Gianna has been waking on her own since yesterday to nurse and let us know she needs a change… Adam and I have never prayed so much for poopy diapers!  And she has been a trooper adjusting to life with her biliblanket.  She’s so very sweet, a great nurser (despite the fact that she didn’t gain weight when her bilirubin levels were increasing), and a good sleeper.  When given the choice between the hard flat mattress in the cradle or sleeping cuddled next to me, I win hands down!   Having carried her around for 9 months in my womb, I find it hard to sleep without her right next to me.  She also knows when meal times are and cries quite loudly for her share!  Her voice is heard in the mix with Fulton’s and Therese’s when it’s breakfast, lunch and dinner time. 

Before I can get formal “thank yous” out, I just want to extend our gratitude to all of you who have called, emailed, visited, brought flowers, gifts, meals, watched the kids, and especially interceeded to our Blessed Lord with all your prayers.  Your generosity has been a blessing.
