Half
way there, and I am exhausted! It is so good to be here with the
babies. It's wonderful to love on them every day. It is amazing to
be a part of this wonderful culture for several weeks. It's an
amazing experience. But if you want the honest truth, it is
exhausting! Physically, mentally, and spiritually. And missing my
future husband, that's a whole other story! Then a baby reaches for
you, rolls over for the first time, says “dadadada,” or starts
eating better and it makes everything worth it.

My biggest excitement this week was Nelson. He was not eating well earlier this week. I was worried. He's only 6 weeks old, and was a preemie. Today he sucked down over 4 ounces in 15 minutes. Thank you Jesus!! The babies really made some progress this week on ipad day. Any motivation that works!!
