Getting to see LOTS of precious new babies and their proud and happy parents in the hospital!This week we even got to visit the Neonatal ICU where our two newest church members are hanging out until they gain a little weight. : ) Above is Robert’s hand compared to Baby E’s hand….so tiny!
I got to hold baby E for a whole hour while his Mama worked hard at pumping and storing some of that lifegiving nourishment!
And here is that beautiful Mama! I think Baby E is puckered up because he wants to kiss his sweet Mommy and thank her for the amazing job she’s doing.(Isn’t that about the cutest thing you’ve ever seen?)
And now for baby L with his handsome, hardworking, and godly Daddy. He and Mama asked that we come and hold and pray for these precious twins yesterday. What a privilege. I had tears in my eyes the whole time!
And the day before, we even got to babysit the “big sis to the twins.” Yep…she’s not even two yet, but already has the big sister title! (Send extra prayers for this Mama and Daddy!) Actually, I did close to nothing for this sweet little girl (besides diaper duty), because my own sweet little girl kicked it into Mama gear immediately – playing with her, feeding her, pushing her in her stroller, and even reading to her and putting her down for this nap!
And this is what I’ve been hearing on repeat for the last two days…..
“Mommy, now I really want a little sister – even more than I did before.”
Uh. Oh.
Mel, I am so envious of your perks!! I'm feeling very out of the loop here on Long Island, and even though I'm with my family, I miss my church family so so much. I got to talk to Aly on the phone today and felt so lucky to be able to do that. Tell Kayla that babysitting is hard work, and if she loves it, she is one mature girl! GO GIRL!
