Saffie has decided (as of last week) to guard every clutch of eggs laid. So that means that every morning, I am forced into a tense confrontation with an angry hen who refuses to move out of the nest box, and every afternoon, I get pouty (as much as a chicken can pout without lips), condemning glances from the coop when I go to collect tomatoes. Such is life.
In other news, our DD has to have heart surgery. And we're sort of...
yeah. can't even find a word. So, on the 23rd, we have to take our sweet little girl of 2 months to Shands in hopes that they can fix her heart. We're praying. And we're asking that you pray. Even those of you we don't know. Because I haven't been a mother for very long, but...you know...
But. Shaking that off (as much as possible) for a minute - Jae is quite a character. She loves (LOVES LOOOOVES) to eat. And she's growing like...a weed (original, I know). She's growing like a...canteloupe vine in June. :) She doubled her birthweight in 2 months, and is now 13 lbs. Her doctors and service providers (Early intervention, etc.) are shocked and amazed. So we're very thankful for that, and it makes waking up at 3 am for feedings (and changings) a pleasure.
And, AND! Look at this.
Have you ever SEEN such a sweet thing? It should be bottled and sold.

Awwwwwwwwww Amelia! My heart goes out to you for sure! I don't feel like I've been a mother long either, but I can definitely understand where you're coming from. God is in control....No matter what, God is in complete control. I learned this past Sabbath that He sometimes sends us storms, like the one on the Sea of Galilee when Peter wanted to walk out on the water with him. We have to be Water Walkers too! I won't say, "don't worry," but I will say, "Trust God." I don't think He would have brought our little sweetie in the world, to take her back out again. Sure, for others it could have happened that way, but I'm praying not for this little one!
Hold on, and Trust okay! I love you guys!
