Gaining

I got a report last night that Rachel was back up and over 2 lbs. She decided in the past few days (actually hours) to start growing...and is gaining fast. Blessings. The nurses say she is digesting the milk now and she is not missing a feeding. Another blessing. Her mama caught her smiling in her sleep....happy, content little one. High heels, cowboy boots, flip flops...I can see her closet floor already!

Tootsie Toes! I love itty bitty Tootsie Toes!

Glad to hear she's doing well and is eating. I hope your DIL is not having any problems pumping - she will be one happy Momma when she can start nursing.

I follow your blog even though I don't blog. God bless your new little grandchild. She is a Christmas miracle.
