Nathaniel 11/10

Today he weighs 4lb. 11.6 oz. Yesterday he was at 4lb. 9.8oz, and Tuesday he was 4lb. 7oz. As you can see, our prayers for weight gain have been heard and answered. Also, last night he took an entire bottle in ten minutes. This is another milestone we have been waiting to happen since he will need a bottle of high calorie formula twice a day when he comes home.

I am able to feed him three times per day now. I come to the hospital at 8 am 2 pm and 8 pm for his feeds. Likely we have only the rest of this week and one additional week before our sweet baby comes home. Please pray for us as we juggle life, and this back and forth routine for the next ten days.

The end is in sight and Todd and I feel God moving and hovering very close. Not only to sustain us, but to help us grow spiritually. These kinds of events in ones life tend to expose weaknesses in individuals, families, and marriages. We want to glean every lessons and change all that needs to be changed. We never want a trial to be for naught. We have repenting to do, and character to be changed. When God brings these things to light it is our responsibility to take care of the issues or else suffer the consequences of disobedience. Please pray we deal with the changes as He would have us deal with them!

I am so humbled by you all reaching out to us yet again. We understand our walk is not ours alone, but is shared by many. Please forgive all of our shortcomings as we all strive to walk closer to the one who enables us to forgive!

All my love,

Andria
