7 Weeks Update

Well...I had intended to do some monthly updates on Shiloh, but the first month slipped away while I was sleep deprived and hormonally crazed. Now that I have emerged from this fog (thank you, Lord), here is some recent news on Shiloh who turned 7 weeks old this past Tuesday.

Up from her birth weight of 7 lbs, Shiloh weighed 11 lbs 15 oz on Tuesday. No more 0-3 month clothes for this chunky girl! Look at the chins on her...

She loves to eat and lie in her boppy pillow. She also seems to really enjoy bath time.

She has wrist and arm wrinkles visible in this bathtime shot, but we couldn't show the leg rolls b/c this is a G rated blog... Trust me when I assure you that she does not miss a meal.

As you can see above, Levi is still enamored with his little sister. I really think he is an awesome big brother and that his love for Shiloh is amazing. I look forward to the years ahead with my family!

Levi and I drew pictures of ourselves a couple of weeks ago in his Barney chalk book. (He LOVES his Barney chalk book). The picture on the right is me. I drew it myself. Then Levi drew a picture of himself. I thought he did great. :) He gave me a play by play the whole time he drew..."now I need some eyes...now I need a moufff...dese are my wegs...and here are my feet!" So sweet is this first born of mine...

Happy Birthday Aaron...

I sure do miss this little guy...



...and I love to remember the day he was born. There was celebration in Pennsylvania, Mississippi and even the Ronald McDonald House in NJ where we stayed for so long.


I am sometimes sad when I miss him. But I am sad for me, not for him. Because I know where he is. And because I believe the Truth of what the Bible says about Heaven, I know that he is perfect, healthy and whole and DOES NOT MISS ME, nor does he know a bit of pain. Lord knows he knew pain here, so I am thankful for the perfection and bliss he knows now.

Thank you, Lord, for my sweet son, Aaron.

In Celebration of Her 6 Week Birthday Today...
