Thank you Lord

I'm sitting here typing this as Ivy Joy naps.

And I can hardly believe how far she has come and how close she is

                     Her upper GI showed a reflux and aspiration

So everything we are doing, we will continue the same and like                                     everything else, this will pass.   

She continues to drop in to the low 80's and sometimes the low 70's when she sleeps. So the plan is to keep her on oxygen during sleep so that she can grow and get strong and have this little bit of assistance while her lungs get stronger and her heart figures things out. 

Lip gloss (peppermint bath&body works) helps reduce her cravings for chocolate haha. There is fat in chocolate so she can't have it :(

This fantastic hair pretty and leg warmers were a gift from the most amazing family we all know and love! Thank you Rouse family!! 

Ivy sleeps like an angel. I just sit there and look at her!! Seriously!

Quincie is here!!!! Daddy is back to work. Everyone is happy!!!!!!!!

Lexi is singing!!! (She sings ALL day long! Taylor Swift is her current favorite :)

 Ivy joins right in! 

And here they are singing together!!!! I am so excited to spend my days with both girls and with school almost out, all my babies, ALL SUMMER!!!!

This is Jessy. She is one of our RT's. Like I have said before, everyone here is my FAVORITE!!!!!!! And Jess is NO exception! WE LOVE HER!!

And she loves Ivy!!

So here are the non photographic details, WE ARE VERY CLOSE TO GOING HOME!!!!!!! LOOKING LIKE WEDNESDAY!!!!!!!!!

And this song comes to mind!

 ~There is nothing like the warmth of a summer afternoon

Walking in the sunlight, being cradled by the moon

catching fireflies at night, building castles in the sand

Kissing mama's face goodnight and holding daddy's hand

Thank you, Lord, how could I ask for more?~

All these firsts are on their way for my baby girl! 

Thank you Lord!
