First Doctor Visit

Yesterday was Olivia's first appiontment at the doctor. She did well. The doctor said she has an extremely strong heart and that she gained 4 ounces in her first day at home, which was very good. She's over her birth weight already at only 3 days old. They did some tests on her and said everything looks "perfect." Thank you for your prayers for Carissa and Olivia as they settle into a pattern and get used to all the aspects of the baby-mommy relationship. Here's a recent picture:

Olivia at Home

Today is our first full day with Olivia at home. Carissa will be able to celebrate her birthday tomorrow after settling in with the baby here at home over these two days. Things are going well, she is getting cuter every day. She is still trying to get some things down, like breathing, eating, etc.: just your basic "I'm brand new at life" type of stuff. Carissa and me are doing well, getting used to operating on no sleep while taking care of a special little girl. God is amazing. I don't know how someone can experience the miracle of life that God brings us in our children and not fall to their knees and praise God for how He orchestrates things together by His hand. Seeing Olivia each moment only heightens my resolve to love God and serve Him with my life. Thank You God!
