Hooray! We rarely get a shot of Faith smiling (she still only smiles about once a day) but today must have been our lucky day because we got her just in time! Below: Party time! (Thanks for the balloons Nikkels!)
Today marked Faith's 7th month of life! Never did we think we'd spend it in the hospital, but then again there were times we wondered if she would even make it to 7 months so today was a day of celebration! Faith is a growing girl! A month ago when we got to Children's (yes, it has been a month already) she weighed 9 pounds 6 ounces. Today she is a whopping 11 pounds 4 ounces. It seems suddenly overnight she just stopped fitting into her new born clothes! The beauty of the ventilator (if there is such a thing) is that it allows Faith to grow and not waste any calories on breathing. Well that's about it for today. We are a little worried that she might be getting sick (totally our luck, huh?) but so far all of the blood work, x-rays, etc. look ok. SO please pray for increased health so we can get out of there!
Thanks so much!

Happy 7 Months Faith, You beautiful Baby You!
Glad to hear she is doing well. Love the picture of her smiling, however I must say it is much better in person! :) Praying that you will be home and well on the 10. Praying that the dogs will agree to this plan and not get sick or hurt or whatever else they think of. It is so nice that your blogs have more good news then bad! Yeah! Things are looking good, Praise the Lord!
