hope

hope: : to cherish a desire with anticipation
I wanted to provide an update on our friends K + J. To those of you who have been praying for them, thank you and please continue to do so.  I've shared that this unthinkable suffering is something that has caused me to struggle - to wrestle with the Lord in anger at why this would happen.  However, over the past couple of weeks, I have been encouraged by, of all people, Kristen - to hope.  I am now trying to pray for hope - for K + J to hope in their future all the while, remembering and cherishing their sweet daughter, Natalie.  Again, please just continue to lift them up in prayer. 

Today, we took advantage of the 45 degree weather and got out! We took a walk around the neighborhood and it felt great - though I quickly realized it has been a LONG time since I've worked my cardio :)  I think the temp is supposed to stay relatively nice this week, so maybe one of these times Cade will get to come with us - we'll see how brave I am.

I gave Adi another bath today and it was the first time since we've been home that it didn't result in crying! She kind of smirked when I dipped her into the warm water, so I think she might have enjoyed it even. 

I am still feeling a little tired and the Dr. prescribed me some antibiotics this morning to treat my mastitis. :( At least I know it'll be taken care of!  Just ready to get back to normal.

Tomorrow we have Adilyn's 2 month Dr. appointment - so I'm excited to see how much she weighs and all of her growth stats. We feel like she's grown significantly, but it's hard to say when I see her every day. 

More to come!
