Julia Update
Julia is three weeks old today, but really would have been still only (almost) 35 weeks gestation. She is quite the tiny little lady. We have had good news this week and good progress. We took her for a check up and she is now 2kg which is 4.4 pounds. We are so happy she has gained weight. Another huge milestone is she is no longer being fed from a cup. She can now take a bottle. Breastfeeding and milk production is still quite a challenge, but we aren't giving up. Julia sleeps most of the time, but has a few moments of prolonged awake times. Usually late at night of course. She is so cute and sweet, it makes up for the exhaustion. Julia got hooked up in the clothes department. The few newborn clothes we had for her dwarfed her. Now, we have lots of snug fitting clothes to keep her warm. They are so tiny and cute, I want to change her many times during the day. Here are a few photos of our little peanut.

Oh, Stacie! I just got caught up on your blogs over the past 3 weeks of Julia's life! Girl....you are my hero! Your stories scare the ...... out of me, but your faith just rips me apart.....I feel so blessed to know you and to have lived an Africa life with you...watching you battle through the storms with the Lord! Truly amazing, my friend. Julia is a doll....so much more alert than I expected! And I'm just thrilled that Marli is there to help you....what a blessing she is (ok, the whole stinkin Tague family is one of the biggest blessings in this world!!). I'm praying for you every time I hold my grandbaby Sophie, who is 3 weeks old today too. Miracles for sure. I love you, my friend. I"m praying for you. And I am amazed by you.
