If you are wondering why I am posting this funny picture on Saraiahs blog.....it is a peak into what our daily life is like at home.....so you can see that: Yes, we now live in what we call our "new normal." We had the amazing blessing of having a live in nanny for the entire summer and it was a very eventful summer. Thank you Lacey for giving that gift to our family. It allowed us much needed time with our other 2 precious crazy ones :) We are now adjusting back to life as it is without all the help we had, and the 1st week was a bit of a adjustment for me with having Riah to myself entirely and back to every night shift! She is doing great and we will be posting pictures soon of her beautiful chubby self thanks to the NJ tube she has to give her constant feedings. She continues to be on breastmilk and we ask that if you know anyone that wants to donate bmilk, we are still in dire need. We need regular donors on a regular basis. She wouldn't be here without God and the gift of this liquid gold. She is happier than ever. We saw a smile for the 1st time in June, we see feet kicking, coos, laughs and the crazy part is some days you almost think she is a normal baby. But, then I realize that what may have become normal to us may not be to everyone else. I try to keep that into perspective so that I understand others. When we peer into someone else's chaos, we tend to think there is a better way to do it, or how do they do it, or wanting to help in some way to make it easier.....and I have to say that genuinely, aside from just wanting more along time with my Saviour that this family is doing great. God is so good to us. He has gifted us with Saraiah's life and given us a new hope. Hope that is sure in who he is, despite pain. We continue to want to grow more and know him more. Pray for us that despite all this busy life that is ours now, that we would really know God and be given opportunities to be in his presence everyday. Through all the NJ tube feedings, and middle of the night shifts, and physcial therapy and days of not being able to set her down, that "new normal, that really isn't normal to everyone else"........THAT WE WOULD KNOW HIM. I have to admit that when your life is this chaotic, I have to rest knowing that his presence and peace is with me through everything I do. We still crave your prayers and still ask God for full healing of sweet Saraiah. But, we are so in love with the fact that we still have her. What a gift. Love you all.
