Baby girl is working hard at getting stronger! She surprised us this week when I went to help her roll to her side from her back by moving her hips like the PT taught me.... she kept rolling! I had to help her get her arm out of the way so she could roll all the way to her belly, but she was content and moving around more than we have ever seen her move before! The video below is her right after she rolled to her belly.
I'm enjoying putting together healthy foods to blend up and feed her through her gtube! I'm hoping that I'll get faster at it as I get more experience. She still gets formula in the blend, as well as overnight... but the goal is to eventually just have her eating real food like she would if she ate by mouth, just blended up and sent to the tummy through a tube!
I heard this song today, and it reminded me of the first time I heard it. We were in church, and I was pregnant with Annelise. It was super helpful to have lyrics that specifically helped me tell my anxious thoughts that they had to bow at the Lord's name. I can still remember the feeling of being so scared of losing her. That fear lingers still on the outskirts, and I'm sure it is because of people praying for me, that I can spend as much time with my thoughts in the present as I do. It takes effort to stay focused on what matters in front of me instead of all the what-if scenarios that could take what I love away. I'm so thankful that I have a God who has written a bigger story for my whole existence than I even know, and He doesn't just agree to meet me at the end of the story, but He walks through it with me page by page, and the more I take little leaps of faith to trust in His love and promises, the more I find personally just how trustworthy He is.❤
I know loss will be part of our story at some point. But there is so much living going on right now! Taking time to celebrate today🥳❤🌺
