One more picture

Please continue to pray for our family.  The adjustment to having Eliana join our family has been a hard one.  We were unprepared for her medical needs and this has been hard.  Additionally, since we've been home from the hospital we've had sick children - and dh!  Only Mommy and Eliana have remained healthy.  We have not figured out nursing and pumping around the clock is very hard!

I know that there will be joy to come.  I know that God is good.  I know that He is carrying us through all of this.  I am so very thankful for the friends and family that have reached out in support of ours.

  9. I encourage you to hang in there! I know it can take everything out of you.. but it will be worth it! I pumped for a total of 13 weeks with Laban.. I would joke to the nurses in the NICU that I was going to start mooing every time I walked by their desk!

    Take advantage of your DH or older children and nap when you can! Take shifts if you have to! I would allow myself five hour stretches of sleep at night between pumping. Hope this helps! Sarah from special lambs
