What we've been doing....

Wow, I'm already a bad blogger. That didn't last long.  We've actually been busy (I'm sure that is a surprise) since my last blog.Here's what we've been doing:

DR VISITS -  K has had a few drs visits and ECI. So far she is doing great. She is growing, now 8.8 lbs and 20 inches long. I love looking at pictures of her now compared to a month ago. She is really filling out.
after 4month shots (it's hard to believe)

SWIMMING - We are so thankful for friends with pools. It's nice to just get out for a little bit and enjoy the rockstar and things he likes to do. AND he LOVES to swim. I have to say, he completely scares me, but he is a self taught swimmer. The other night we went to a church swim party and he headed straight for the HIGH dive. This momma almost wet herself. BUT the boy did a beautiful dive jump off the board and then made is way to the side of the pool....and did it again. I'm amazed at the determination he has. I'm definately proud of him.
 
Sister enjoyed getting out too.

ORGANIZED - I've slowly been organizing cabinets and just random things around my house. I just want things to flow. We have limited and unusual cabinet space, plus I'm short. I was excited to get the spices down and rearranged. My husband bought me a silver marker, so I'm going to rewrite on the top of spices. 

NAPPED - We have quiet time each day, which almost always ends in a nap for brother. I just love knowing that these beautiful babies are getting rest.



SEWING - I sewed this for my soon to be here nephew! WE are very excited about his arrival!



BABY SHOWER -  We are blessed with amazing family and friends. They threw Ms. K a beautiful, spunky coming home party. I absolutely loved it and she slept through it :)







We've been busy but blessed. We are still seeing God work miracles. Our last well visit the NP thought that it was best to send K to a neurologist. K prefers the right side (laying, looking, etc.). She wouldn't really look at us while talking or even turn her head to the left. After the ECI visit last week, we were taught some stretches to do with her. Those have worked amazingly. The NP was still worried though. We left that visit worried that we were going to have drs and tests and hospitals all over again. I immediately began praying (which doesn't completely take away the worry - I don't think I slept that night). The next day the NP called and after talking with another dr and doing some research. The dr had pointed out that preemies have a preferred gaze and that this is something that therapy will fix. Praise God! We do not have to go to a neurologist and we continue to praise God for this answered prayer.

I find many people talking about miracles recently. They are all around us, you just have to open  your eyes. We live in a world that is so caught up in self and instant gratification, we don't look for God's hand.
