July 9th - Another day with the goal of growth

Kevin took the day off from working remotely today in order to be intentionally present, instead of on his laptop at the hospital. This is a big leap of faith day for him, because my bean counter husband (that is meant in the most endearing way possible 😊) is taking an unpaid day off for the first time ever since taking this job after he graduated from college!
He’s trying to stretch out the already generous 12 weeks of paternity leave (thank you, employer!!) by going back to work remotely, because we have no idea how long we’ll be out here in Omaha.  I know if it comes down to it and Kevin had to go back to work in California, we’d survive of course... but I’d rather not be out here without my husband!! Although I know a few other mama’s who are doing just that, because they are making it work in order to get their babies the life saving operations and care they need here, since they are denied the same care in other states due to a diagnosis of having an extra 18th (or 13th) chromosome.  (Cool tangent story real quick: as one of my new friends’ husband was leaving to go back to work and other kids back home... I mentioned to my new friend that I was curious to find out how God would provide for her comfort on the day of her son’s procedure, since her hubby would be gone... and was so happy to read a post on her page that included her excitedly sharing her story of the right people showing up right outside her son’s hospital room at the right time saying just the right thing so that this Mama knew that she was held by the Lord and He will care for her in this place that He has called her to.  Not that I want to live in this intense environment for an extended period of time... but it is super cool to have so many opportunities to just trust God with a need and then see it provided for!)
Back to the update about our day... it was an excellent day of hanging out and cuddling with Annelise 🥰 She continues to sleep a ton and as long as she’s on her tummy, her breathing is ok.  She’s still extubated!! It’s a good day💖
