Happy 4 months birthday, Lilly!

Weight check = 6 lbs. 6 ozs.

Today Lilly turned 4 months old! God is so good and merciful to us to let us keep her longer. Praise Him!

My other two children wrote Lilly birthday wishes on our schoolroom whiteboard this morning. One thing my daughter wrote to Lilly was "you deserve wings." I agreed but said "not yet please!" God is obviously not done with Lilly yet. She's done so much to show His glory and has more to do.

"And now the LORD says, Who formed Me from the womb to be His Servant, To bring Jacob back to Him, So that Israel is gathered to Him (For I shall be glorious in the eyes of the LORD, And My God shall be My strength), ...." Isaiah 49:5

I love thinking that God formed Lilly to be His Servant. :)

I was so happy to learn today that [T-18] baby G. who had open heart surgery not too long ago, is doing very well and feeding from the bottle. Yay baby G.! I love cheering these children on. And praying for them too!

I've been in touch with a couple moms recently of trisomy 18 children. I mentioned to my husband that there is such instant bonding between us. He said that tragic events really do bond people together. He said that happens for him when he meets others who have had a close family member die in a car wreck.

Lilly is lying across me as I type and putting her knuckle into her mouth. She's started doing that a lot lately. She's still not opening her hands (other than sticking out her ring fingers at times) so the whole knuckle just goes into her mouth.
