Our precious little man is really stepping up to the plate to take his manly role in our home and help out as much as he can with his sister’s many hospital visits. He’s been sleeping all the way through the night (10PM – 6:30AM). He’s also moved to feeding every 4 hours. We’re thanking God for helping Isaiah do this when we especially needed the extra sleep and time. I’ve been trying to make sure I still spend time talking with Isaiah, since even though he’s just a babe, I don’t want him to feel neglected with all that’s going on with Becca.
The other day I took the picture on the right of Isaiah during his nap. The sleeping positions of little ones have always been amusing to me. That very night, Becca also assumed that position; it must be a sibling thing!
We’ve had a nice week with several days (Saturday – Wednesday) without doctor’s/hospital appointments. Saturday Josh and Becca went to Home Depot for their free kids workshop. Becca loves painting! Sunday we had Micah, Anna, and Adam over for dinner. Monday we went to buy Becca special pj’s for the hospital. I gave her several options, and she had a hard time choosing between her two favorite. I guess we’ll post pictures of those when she’s wearing them after next week’s surgery. She told Josh that they were “pretty pretty pretty pajamas!”
Tuesday we went to the Countrymans’ for our last swim of the summer (since we thought Becca’s surgery would be on Friday). We had a wonderful time enjoying the pool, and Heather made us a nice lunch. Becca loved the Jello jigglers! Tuesday afternoon we found out that Becca’s surgery would be the following week. Tuesday evening we had our upstairs neighbors (Tim and Teri) over for dinner.
Love the pictures. Sounds like you are all having lots of fun in spite of the current difficulty. Keep up the wonderful attitude and trust in God! We love you all. What a blessing that Isaiah is now sleeping all night. Now if he’ll just take that milk from a bottle – with Josh!
You are a wonderful mother, Amy! I am praying for your little family today that the Lord will continue to hold all things together!
Hi Isaiah, I love seeing you blow bubbles! You’re so cute, can’t wait to see you again!! Love you, Grammy
Am praying for sweet Becca. And thank-you Amy for your transparency in your walk with the Lord-you have been an encouragement for me. We want to bring Becca a little package of the reunion treats she will miss. Let me know when we can come visit the Jensen family.
