Update time! 3 new posts!

I have posted 3 new posts with pictures for all those that have been asking. It is harder now to find time to post.

God has been so good to our family. I can not count all the ways!! Drew and I have been talking about the way God has created things. Anything that is a blessing almost always requires sacrifice and hard work- how else would we learn to appreciate the blessings from God. These are my thoughts this week as I think about raising two children now.

So an update: Breastfeeding is going well, but it seems that is all I do because each feeding takes so long since Lydia is so sleepy still. Things are going much smoother the past couple days. Lydia had to adjust her nights and days and is still doing a little of that but is getting much better. She has gained some weight back as of Monday's doctor's appt. So she is on the right track. Luke is adjusting well and getting to spend lots of time with Daddy. I miss holding him and can't wait til I can pick him up again. I miss him even though he is still here -I just can't spend as much time with him right now. I know that will change soon though as Lydia gets older and faster at eating. Drew has been such a great help with everything. He has been enjoying his time with Luke so much, I know his first away trip will be tough after this few weeks at home.

My mom left yesterday and I was so sad to see her go. I know it will be a while before I see her again and the kiddos will be so much bigger. She was a great help to us for two weeks and I miss her terribly. We love you Yai Yai.

So that is all for now. See pictures below. Thank you for all the calls and emails and meals from my wonderful church family. I ran out of cell phone minutes again so haven't been able to call anybody but they start over tomorrow so I am going to try and catch up on my phone calls. Love to you all from the Gess family.
