Braden gets his own clothes - Addyson tries to escape

Yesterday was a good day. Ryan and I were able to go to church and hear a sermon we needed to hear. We were reminded to hope in God's sovereignty and have confidence in God's total control.

II Corinthians 12:9-10
But He said to me "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

I don't think either of us realized how much we had missed worshiping together and just being at church so that was a great encouragement to us. And it was good to have something "normal"!

Both kids continue to do great. They both gained an ounce yesterday. They like to see them gain 1/2 ounce so they are both doing above and beyond what is expected.

We bought Braden some of his own clothes and I was able to dress our little boy for the first time yesterday! Daddy is very proud of his Big Truck outfit - he looks so much like a little boy. Even though it's big, the preemie outfit didn't swallow him up like we thought it would!

Addyson continues to make us laugh. When we got to the hospital yesterday afternoon the nurses had taken more pictures of her. She is always laying in some crazy position. Last night right before we left she had gotten herself into this position. We put her back several times and she continued to move herself around. She looked like she was trying to escape! She is hilarious and makes us smile!

We were able to talk to some other families in NICU last night so that was encouraging for all of us. We were reminded yesterday especially that God brings these things into our lives for a reason and we pray that we will respond in a way that is honoring and glorifying to Him.
