Happy 4th of July! We will be celebrating at a wedding with our own three firecrackers. Sadie is doing well and is pretty easy going. I took her to church for the first time last Sunday, so she was able to meet lots of people who have been praying for her.
Last week, Brandon and I went to a small group and was able to share our testimony on God's faithfulness over the last few months. Our "theme" was God going before us, and we were amazed again how many times He moved ahead of us in so many ways. It was a blessing to us to share and give God the glory.
We went to the doctor yesterday, and Sadie weighs 8-4! The doctor would have liked to have seen a little more weight gain, but we are close to being on track. The scale at the clinic had her gaining 9 oz in 19 days, where the home health nurse scale had her gaining 9 oz in 9 days. That's quite a difference. I continue to add the Neosure to her bottles, but I'm not giving up nursing. It's too precious to me. We also still have two tails, and I am SO ready to be finished with the apnea monitor. We haven't had many alarms and none in the last two weeks. I've tried to get the word we can be finished, but it's turning into a wild goose chase to find someone to tell me that. This doctor thinks one thing, another thinks something different, and so my home doctor will make the decision, and she's out of the office. All I want to hear is, "all done!" :)
Not only is Sadie gaining weight, but she is now 21.5 inches long; that's 2.5 inches growth since she has been home. I treasure each time I snuggle with her...my miracle baby.

Your girls are beautiful! I'm glad to hear things are going well for you. We will continue to pray for those lungs and for her to keep packing on those pounds. Let me know when you are ready to venture out to the park.
